Pulpit Lecturn
-
Per request. I actually built the lecturn pictured without plans prior to my getting into using SU for design. I modeled it in SU after the fact.
Here's the SU export.
And the skippy: http://www.sawdustersplace.com/Sketchup%20files/Podium.skp
This doesn't have all of the joinery as it was one of my earlier attempts.
And a photo of the lecturn in the shop.

Nice piece.
It seems that in the SU model there is a more pronounced arch to the fron to the lecturn than on the actual piece. Is this a photo angle thing or is this actualy the case? -
Dear Jerry,
I agree with Gidon, a nice piece. The actual lectern does appear to have a flatter front face.
Kind regards,
Bob -
Yeah, that is likely the case. I just went and measured the offset of the arc in the SKP and it is around 2". If I remember correctly, the bending forms I made for the rails had a 2 inch offset, but I got some spring back when I took them out of the forms. Another difference is that the skp has the front stiles colinear to each other when viewed from above while those in the actual piece continue tangent to the curve. I cut the tenons and the grooves for the panels on the rails prior to steam bending them.
