Sketch Up Model of Maloof Side Table
Tonight a took some time to create of model in Sketchup of the Maloof Style Side Table. I already have the plans published in Popular Woodworking, but I find that creating a model of a project helps me think through the details. It is kind of like doing it first in my head. I can try things out and see how they go with out actually cutting a piece of wood.
You will notice that this model is a little different than the design in Popular Woodworking. For instance I will use the Festool Domino to create a mortis and tenon joint on the legs instead of dowels. The only reason for this is that I have everything I need for the Domino. The model is lacking some detail still, such as rounded corners. And I will be adding the dowel pins on the sides of the legs for looks. When I get a little more time I will go back and update the model with these details.
