Re: UPDATE: Google SketchUp Guide for Woodworkers - The Basics with Dave Richards

I would love a free copy! I use SK regularly and always look for FW's blogs to help me improve my skills.

Re: SketchUp: Down and Dirty

I'm somewhere in between. I will draw the complete item, even include tenons, but not mortises or dovetails. This way I can use Layout to help build a shopping list for wood and explode the components to help me organize my pieces for cutting.

Re: Jefferson's Bookstand - Another Workflow Example

Dave - it's always a pleasure watching a master at work. Thanks.

For the rest of us novices, I recommend one extra step that I use regularly. Hit the save button! If/when mistakes are made, it helps to have a saved fresh start to fall back on.

Re: Adding Materials to Your Model

Dave - very enlightening! Thanks. Where does one "find" wood grain and colors for different woods?

Re: A Fern Stand: Demonstrating My Drawing Process

Dave - thanks for "putting it all together" with this drawing, including a bunch of shortcuts! I can use essentially every one of them.

However.... maybe its my machine, but the sound level (with video and computer levels at max) was barely audible. Next time, can you set your recording level a little higher?

Happy New Year,

Randy

Re: Style Settings for Woodworking

Tim - would you please consider updating your Template settings, particularly the Style settings? There are a few differences in SU7.

Is this the right place for advertisements?

Re: How Much Wood Will It Take?

Dave - thanks for all the SketchUp "lessons". Recognizing that you use the Pro version, will Cutlist and Layout plugin work with the free version of SketchUp?
