Craftsmanspace.com is Loaded with Free Design Resources

Craftsmanspace.com is full of free projects and technical plans, free books, free software, free 3D models, free patterns in various file formats, and free lessons on how to use carpentry tools.

The sheer diversity of resources available there is somewhat staggering.

Here are some highlights from my exploration of craftsmanspace:

• More free books about aviation than I could read in 10 years, including this one about helicopter design.
• A book from NASA entitled Capturing Energy From the Wind on the craftsmanspace renewable energy books page
• Playground equipment plans
• A huge list of free 3D CAD software
• A free 3D model/2D profile of a cat shaped wall coat rack (scroll down after the jump) in STEP/DXF format
• A scroll saw pattern for a portrait of Nikola Tesla in .SVG, .EPS, .DWG, .JPG, .GIF and .PNG
• Lessons on using a sliding T-Bevel
