Thanks, this is the first time I tried to draw anything like this. My shop has no windows so I just started playing around with sketch-up in a room with daylight after the power went out for 10hrs while they replaced a Power Pole.
I was actually just drawing a plan for a hinged base so that I could fold my lathe up out of the way when I’m not using it. Then I started to get carried away while I was taking measurements for the length and also the height.
Once I drew the shaft to mark my length, I was on a roll and there was no stopping until I was done. Well almost, I don’t know I will ever finish the belt cover at this point, but everything is to scale.
There is a tool to round the corners, but I couldn't remember how at the time and I didn't have internet access while the power was out.
After I get some of my other stuff done, I'll check out the videos on round corners tools
