Forum member etc92guy expressed an interest in the set of plans I was working up for a toy Jellybean Dispenser so I thought I'd share them here.

The set of plans is a 7 page, 3.3Mb PDF file that's fully dimensioned. You should be able to download it HERE.

I had no idea that software could do so much. Now I will have to try it out to see what I can learn. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful set of plans. I can see there was a lot of thought and knowledge put into this. Wonderful job.

Yep, I asked for it...Let's see, my nearest Ace Hardware carries JellyBelly's:D , and now I have these plans...Hmmmm, it will be a challenge to keep the 55 lbs. off that I spent the last 9 months losing:p

Tom, thanks so much for posting the plans. It is definitely on the project list for this winter, no, I'm going to move it up to fall.

Is this made in the demo version?
I reckon this is the registered version, seeing how you
exported to the .pdf file.


I can't justify paying the $495 to register.

Let us know.

No, it's the demo version. I exported the graphics to JPG files, and then imported the JPGs into CorelDRAW to make the "pages" with the page numbers, figure titles and page headers, then published the PDF file from Corel.

I was playing around with SketchUp last night, I'm designing a more "utilitarian" loading stand for black powder pistols and wanted it to fit my US-Marshal's Pistol Model 1842, so I built a fairly simple 3D model of the pistol in SketchUp to work from. I was really suprised how fast I was able to put one together and how well it looked. Check THISout...

The free download version can do just about anything (maybe more than) you would need it to do unless you are a professional architect or draftsman. There is no need to go for the registered version. It is perfect for woodworkers to be able to see a 2D/3D model of their projects and all the measurements are to scale to boot. The only problem is the steep learning curve due to the programs ability to do so much. I think it is well worth the time to learn and there is a ton of how-to's and self-paced training available on line.
