Good luck with it. Be safe. Some time ago I designed a jig for these sorts of cuts that prevents the off cut getting trapped. The off cut drops harmlessly away from the blade. You might want to come...

Robert, did you see that Edward is talking about sliding dovetails?
Since you've identified that you are using sliding dovetails, as Jon points out, your half inch bit will be too large. A smaller bit is called for here. In addition, I would suggest that you hog out...
Looks good to me. More than adequate to figure shop space usage and anyone should be able to identify it.
Happy I could help.
Nice work Jim.
I looked at your island model. It looks pretty good although I see a few things that could be improved.
The house models look like they are quite detailed. Good work.
Not sure why you couldn't...
You can see a few of mine here.
You'd probably get more interest if you share images instead of the models themselves.
I don't know of any other sources for SketchUp components of specific tools like you are wanting to find. I think if I were you, I would learn what you need to know to make suitable components for...
Yes. SketchUp 2017 Make is still available here. Or you can use SketchUp Free which is the web-based version. Both have their benefits.
You probably aren't interested but maybe this will help someone. This was announced a year ago and it actually took longer for them to implement it than they intended.
And this more recently:
The 3D Warehouse supports the three most recent versions of SketchUp with the release of SU2019 last month, SketchUp 2016 and early versions are no longer supported. There may be a few files...
For the cross pieces under the top, you can keep them back from the edges of the top by 3 or 4 inches with no problem.
As for the length of the feet to make sure it's stable, you can use the...
As Jamie indicates, not enough info about your design. If you're trying to figure out supporting the top, it depends on how thick the top is and what it's made of. Maybe the support arms should...
I expect you've got a number of years before you need to worry about changing away from from using SketchUp 2017 Make. There are a lot of people still using SketchUp 6, 7, and 8. I even have 3.1 from...
Art, I've read this sort of thing elsewhere before. It does seem to be a backward way of working. The benefit of using a computer based modeling application for woodworking projects should be to...
I think I'd try for option 1 first. Best to make the rails for the ladder in one piece. Then find somewhere you can finish machining them to add the hand holds and assemble the ladder if your shop...
Very nice work, there, Carl.
I wouldn't expect a great deal of longevity for something like that made of pressure treated lumber or marine ply in a saltwater environment unless you plan to do a lot of upkeep. You might...
This morning after my first outing to clear snow. Already had about 3 feet on the ground. Another foot or so overnight.

There are some strict limitations on what tools scouts are allowed to use. And, for an Eagle project, it's not about the Scout doing all the work. It's about planning, developing, and showing...
I guess since they would be functioning, I'd tend to err more toward deeper mortises.
Eagle project? Good project.
If you don't have to make the shutters to match the originals exactly, and with efficiency in mind, I think I would make the mortises in the stiles about as deep as...
Have you done a Google image search for cabriole leg pattern? There are lots of options. You could generate your own pattern from an image if needed.
What sort of dimensions are you after? Maybe...
I did the plans for this table with benches awhile back. The seats are about 15 in. front to back. The planks have a shallow bevel toward the center line. I would do that or leave the seat flat.
