Sketchup Make 2017 is popular with woodworkers. It might be good enough for hobby projects. It won't compare to AutoCAD but it's free. You just need t make sure you download that exact version--newer versions aren't free anymore.

Here's a woodworking-focused intro tutorial. I doubt it's the best tutorial out there, it's just the one from a channel I follow:

hmm

 

Nope, gotta get this POS rolling so I can turn it around and pull motor and start cutting shit out of the front. I can dick around with the springs more later.

 

I would buy the fuck outta that truck. Clean frame and a 4 door. SC a bonus.

 

Premium gas is lame

and the color is lame

 

offer 15. Sell the supercharger for 4k and get it wrapped for 2500.

 

Bus pass

You boutta be a family man with a young one. Work and family time, those are the two things you get to do sometimes you might get to work sleep in there

 

Had to quote you guys so I don't lose this.

Thank you so much! Will have to take a glance at it once I'm home.

 

Fusion 360 has a "free for hobbiest" version. They're the same people that make inventor and autoCAD. It's what I use for parts modeling ... not sure if it has a weld drawing feature in it, I can look later for you

 

He could just get an LC, join the cool kids club

 

I just got a wagon. lol. subaru crosstrek. Love that little thing. Gets up the mountain to board, good on gas. super cheap and subaru gave me a .9% rate. lol

 

Not really sure what your vehicle has to do with it, but iirc the only difference between it and the full version is you get a watermark on anything you print out. Really isnt a big deal since any drawing left laying in the shop gets covered in grease and oil anyways.

 

Oh shit.

So my needs will be very basic/simple.

I do plan to bend more than just flat bar; would love to bend tubing and find respective angles needed for joining said pieces.

Same with square tubing being joined.

I can mock up, measure and cut, but it takes extra time. I'd like a program that'll just allow me to work 'efficiently'.

 

You guys act like kids are the end of your life.

it’s not that hard to take them with you

 

Oh, yeah that was out of context.

Meant for a first project like a swingout. Later on, vehicle related accessories (not just my own).

Zane has been very helpful in offering me his own idea, but it would really be a bit more original for me to make my own from scratch you know?

 

It would be the end of my life but that's for different reasons. It would also be a very confusing anomaly.

Maybe you'll be different, I've met very few people whose lives didn't change extremely dramatically after they had their children. And the fact is it really is that hard to bring them with you. It adds a lot more to what you have to do so much so that a lot of people deem it easier just not to.

 

You must have some nice docile kids. Mine is at the shop trying to fire up the plasma cutter while im under the truck trying to figure out why don't just buy a ford explorer sv and a jet boat.

 

I based my rear bumper off of addicted offroads 1st gen tundra rear. Added my own flare to keep it different, also I used a piece of 6" channel as the main part to keep it simple and cost effective.
