    Hi,

    I'm a total newbie here and I'd like to be able to do this to create pieces for assembly in woodworking plans.  I looked but couldn't find this anywhere.

    Are there any tutorials that cover how to use Inkscape specifically for woodworking?  Creating joins, etc.?

    TIA,

    Richard

    Might be a push. Inkscape is a 2d vector program, for graphics. Something like what you require, FreeCAD or even a a push QCAD. You can make things "look" 3d, but in reality, it's just a 2d graphics application (a great one at that though!)

    Google Sketch Up may suit your needs. There's a free version.
