Joints
-
I know this not really a Sketchup question, but does anybody perhaps know a site where they show like "all joints known to mankind" including modern ones like these: http://www.flexiblestream.org/project/50-digital-wood-joints

A simple Google search for woodworking joints should give you lots of options. In western woodworking there really aren't that many different joints anyway. Mostly variations on a few. Then there is Japanese woodworking joinery.
Some of the joinery shown at that link look interesting but wouldn't be very sound structurally.

A while back I bookmarked this link on my computer. It's an "e-book" of a classic woodworking text. Plenty to be found here: http://www.gutenberg.org/files/21531/21531-h/21531-h.htm

Of course I tried Google, but not being a proper woodworker at all I still don't know whether there are 10, 20 or 100 joints that are simply good to know.

Definitely a search term I will try.

Looks like a great book. Bookmarked it, too. Thank you.

What's your plan for all these joints?

I don't know, but joints are also simply interesting. Like knots or so.

I see. You're a joint and knot junkie.

Marcus,
try this site: http://www.schreiner-seiten.de/verbindungen/index.php.
You can find there lots of joints with their german name. -
Uwelin, thank you for that link. And where in the world have you been? Haven't seen you around for a long time.

Dave,
sometimes I hold a SketchUp course, the other time I hold a WoodRat course but most of the time I try to be in my shop and learn to work the galootish way
-
Good for you. Keep on with the galootish ways. Do you get to teach many WoodRat classes?

Dave,
five to six times a year as an assistant of Roland Heilmann at the Dictum workshop in Munich.
-
Excellent!
