Sketchup Craftsman toy/Blanket Chest

Project by schroeder posted 561 days ago 1457 views 2 times favorited 7 comments Add to Favorites Watch

I have admired the many toy/blanket chests I’ve seen posted here, but could never find the plans I was looking for, so I thoought I’d try my hand at designing one (not my strong suit).

I started designing this blanket/toy chest with 2 panels, then decided 3 panels looked better. – Am building this for friends, I know there are some other Sketchup geeks here, so I thought I’d share the model. Sketchup is such a cool tool, I sat down Sat, designed in Sketchup, printed out a parts list and had the legs & framework complete Sunday night!

Hopefully, someone will find useful!

Schroeder,

Thanks for the post. It does look like you have done a good job with the design and Sketchup modeling. I have been considering making something for the grandkids toys and this looks pretty good.

I think that it is wonderful for you to be willing to share this model as well. For those of us on the steep side of the Sketchup learning curve it is most appreciated.

Google Sketchup Rocks, I think everyone should give it a try, IT’S FREE. You did a great job on your design.

Thanks all! – If someone can use it or if it inspires them to try Sketchup, then I’m glad to post it!
Bob – uh, ya! – hooked is the word for it. I pretty much draw out EVERYTHING! Its nice just to see the proportions and saves me TONS of time and lumber! – You’ve been a great help, Thanks Bob!
