Hey …. Donny here…

I have been working on techniques for modeling wood-turning on computers. I found a way to do it for free…… well ok…. it will cost you $25 for the e-book.

“Woodturning with SketchUp” is a companion book that works with the FREE or Professional version of SketchUp!

LOOKING FOR THE FREE WINE GLASS METHOD …. keep reading!


INTRODUCING THE “VIRTUAL LATHE”.

The photos shown below are all examples of pieces that I modeled on the Virtual Lathe and then turned in the shop.
