This is a great way to design rooms. I have my entire house modeled in SketchUp. When I want to make a new piece or remodel a room (old farmhouse), I first make the furniture/built-ins/etc. then finish the room with utilities and the whole nine. I can then present this model to my wife for final approval before wasting time, energy and money on building something we may be less than thrilled with at the end. It also allows me to see how a piece may fit into the flow and feel of a room. It really helps the imagination to see the idea more clearly.

The files get huge and clunky though...

What I don't understand... why not just buy a shaper? For $800 plus router and accessories, you could easily get a very nice 3hp shaper with a 1/2 collet for holding router bits???

I would love to win this book!

Winner is correct. His typo hid his meaning, "If there are patent restrictions". The patent No. must be displayed on the plans for full damages to be awarded.

A copywrite does not inhibit anyone from making or selling anything. Also, I don't know FW's policy, but many places assume the copywrite and any rights once you submit your work to them.

If I tried to reprint your plans and sell them as my own, then I would be in trouble.

I have modeled this bench in Google Sketchup 7. It is a complete to-scale model with each individual piece formed as a component. I think it might be nice for others to be able to use the model. How can I get you the model so you can upload it to the article?

Cheers!
