    Seeking Full 3D Model of Pemserter Haeger 824 Press Machine

    You will not find a full model of machines, unless very lucky. You only need to design your jig to fit the machine features as needed. Either measure the features, or use a 3D hand scanner to reverse engineer it.

    Shou Sugi Ban procedure

    I watch HGTV and YouTube all the time. There are a few videos using this technique. I have not tried it. I once knew a guy that tried it and the wood popped. A pocket of sap inside the wood heated up and popped. So wear protection if trying it.

    Hole Wizard is moving sketch outside of feature in tree

    Example, in 1/4-20 hole use the Sketch11 to add more points, or construction lines, within the sketch. You are adding another not needed sketch15 to locate your holes. This is why sketch15 is outside the hole feature.
