As I mentioned last week, I received a copy of the new e-Book by Bob Lang, Woodworkers Guide to SketchUp. Over the weekend I spent a little time learning some things beyond the basics of the program, and also reviewing (again!) most of the basics. The following is the result; although the model requires refining, it is a complete model at this point (at least, in my mind…):
Is this a project that can be built? I don’t know — but I will try. The following was the starting point; I drew a sketch on the proverbial napkin, as I did not have my sketch book:
The concept sketch.
Thanks, Bob, for sending me a pre-production copy of your new book. It was wonderful to have the e-Book open on one monitor, and work on the model on the other monitor!

Hi,
Sketchup is a very good tool to use for designing furniture pieces- and its free. I have been using it for a while now with good results. Every time i use it i learn more about the use of the different tools. Yuo can get a realistic picture real fast and change it real fast and also present a cutlist for construction. Thanks Google !!
I agree, Leo – thanks, Google! I would love to see some of your models, to keep my learning curve going, and moving forward.
