Thomas Jefferson's Bookstand

Great looking.:thumb:
Is it inspired in the real one if any existed? I've seen somewhere plans for a travelling book stand copied from one which either Benjamin Franklin or Thomas Jefferson used I can't recall who and where I saw it, hence my question.
 
Thanks a lot for the link Dave, now that I've seen the original I lounge to see yours done. Keep us posted on its evolution please.

Have you decided what wood are you going to use?
 
Toni, I long to see it done as well. ;)

I think I would do it in mahogany if I can find some good stuff. Might have to make a trip to Kettle Moraine Hardwoods when I visit my brother next.
 
thanks dave for the excellent tutorial on how to draw it:):thumb::thumb: if i ever get some free time i need to go back and play with sketchup more.. also if we could build things as fast as you draw them:)
