Just finished a few touches to a newish project for my Year 8 woodwork class. I found the basic plan a few years ago in an old Makita school resource and used it to help a casual teacher get through a tough patch last year. The students seemed to like it so I used it myself this semester and had some great results. I’ve completed the 3D model using Sketchup and placed it on the 3Dwarehouse for anyone to download, use and modify. The model contains 5 variations on the basic model just click through the scenes. I haven’t been too picky with layers, it’s all pretty basic. The majority of the work is with 19mm and 12mm stock, with a 50mm holw saw for the wheels. I’ll prepare some PDF working drawings soon so stay tuned.

Sketchup models are returning
Our once large collection of Google Sketchup models had to be removed from the 3D warehouse community site earlier in the year. But now I’ve decided to bring them back so keep an eye on this blog for further updates, additions and perhaps some cool student works. The first model to be uploaded is the Timber Jeep project from our Tech Wood 02 Toy Making unit. Click on the picture to get the model.
