SketchUp Tutorial: Adding Pocket Holes to Your Models

I’m in the middle of creating plans for another piece of furniture that has a number of pocket hole joints.  I thought it might be helpful for some of my woodworking readers who also like to use SketchUp to put together a really quick tutorial on putting 3D renderings of pocket holes into your models.  This comes in handy where you have joints where you’re using pocket holes on multiple sides and you want to drill your holes so that the screws don’t hit each other.

SketchUp: My Most Valuable Woodworking Tool!

Sketchup Lesson

One of the most valuable tools I have isn’t a woodworking tool at all.  It’s software & it’s indispensable when I’m building a woodworking project!  I’m of course talking about SketchUp, the 3D modeling program that’s available for free.

Rustic Farmhouse Table with Breadboard Ends – A Free DIY Plan

Inspired by the DIY farmhouse table design by Ana White, I decided to try this project out. It’s a great project for an ambitious beginner and because it’s a “rustic” design, it’s a pretty forgiving project.
