You could check youtube to see if there is a tutorial so you can get a sense of what the program does. SketchUp is much better if you need 3D type drawings that can be viewed from all angles. I never build anything too complex, so Illustrator works fine for my Kari Hultmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01224053263659415329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8128369950831173916.post-52586383056648698382012-10-27T03:33:28.558-04:002012-10-27T03:33:28.558-04:00I'm interested that you use Illustrator for y...I'm interested that you use Illustrator for your design.

I'll use my chisels and gouges instead so it will be fine. It's possible I don't have the finger/thumb strength to get that 60º angle in cherry with a knife.<br /><br />Austen, I suggest carving a test piece of your laminated pieces to see how difficult it is to carve.

It's an excellent program, but since I work with Illustrator on a daily basis, I just use that.

Can you describe your approach to angled mortices? I have struggled with that. Im with you on chopping mortices on the saw bench; I find it much easier than chopping at the work bench.
