          Awesome.

          Modeling it after it's been used for six months though. If you can get that right that would be something else.

          One question though.[attachment=0:38pfqupq]<!-- ia0 -->powertool.jpg<!-- ia0 -->[/attachment:38pfqupq] Is the power tool like that, is it a SU flaw that you couldn't overcome or did you just overlook it? Everything else seems to be modeled to perfection so I'm not sure which it is.

          LOL, yeah, mine looks nothing like this one. It's way to clean and dent free.

          As far as the lines bleeding through...it's a Hypershot thing more than a sketchup thing. When I run it through another renderer I don't have the same issue. I still have some work to do before I can call it finished.

          Thanks for all the compliments. This is one of my first attempts at a non architectural project with sketchup.

              It looks like it's right off the page of a high-end tool catalog.

              Very nice! 👍

                Earth Max Mover Boss,

                Jack bird nice action... Very "curvy" wiring.

                I think I'll have to hook up with such a fine "hog" as that.

                Much to ponder here, much cutting to explore, what a way to start the day.

                Time to hit the corner store for some cold ones.

                Keep the brain machines marching.

                        Thanks everyone! The tool I think I used most for this model was definitely Fredo's Round Edges by Bezier ruby. I scaled everything up really big and rounded off various shape extrudes. It took a bit of cleanup, but the script is great. I used the whole gambit of other rubies as well, including a bit of TOS, SSB, JPP, SDS, Pipe Along Path, bezier and BoolTools. I just couldn't even imagine trying to model in a Sketchup without rubies.

                          Yeah, SU fools you by smoothing out geometry and Hypershot just ignores it 😄

                          Very nice model by the way, looks like a selling image 👍

                                    Excellent work. I like the side view rendering.

                                          I guessed the third one correctly but missed the other ones.
                                          (i will take a look elsewhere on the forum, but do you happen to have links to the thread where i can find the second one?

                                          Awsom drawing! And defenitely my favourite power tool also although i am always working with a lighter version (liking it so much, i happen to choose it as my avatar just before i say your drawing).
                                          Very impressive!

                                          Qué sais je? there is still so much to be learned...

                                            Thanks Fred. Would that be a 4.5" Angle Grinder as your avatar? That would make for an interesting model to accompany my demo saw. Perhaps I'll give that a go next.
