Modeling a Complete Project in Sketchup for Beginners Pt.2 - Sketchup for Woodworkers

My Mouse (I guess it's discontinued. Here is the closest thing)

My more expensive Mouse that I use on my Desktop

This is part 2 of a 2 part series covering sketchup for woodworkers. In this part we'll cover how to take your model from an aesthetic idea to a fully thought out piece of furniture. We'll also cover how to determine material needs based off of your model, and how to create a more nicely rendered image.

This video series is just amazing and much needed. Thank you so much for it!

Great video. I already have some experience in SolidWorks so it was nice to learn some simpler but still powerful tools. One small tip about 15:25. Instead of doing that and then manually drawing the missing surfaces I do the following: Add a cylinder as a new component. Having it selected go to Tools/Solid tools/Substract. Click on the panel to subtract the cylinder from it.

I'm so glad these videos came up when I searched for Sketchup Tutorial! Coming from 20years in AutoCAD it's so cool to have the freedom of 3D design in such user friendly environment. Your explanations of the functions is spot on, and this has given me all the tools I need to tackle the cabinets myself for our new home! Thank you!

Oh Chris, I could kiss you, I have been using Sketchup for years and whenever my models got more complicated I struggled, then along comes Chris, and whispers that one golden word

Thank you

Chris, I've been out of the shop for about a year following an injury. Watching these two videos actually has me excited again to get back out to make things now that I know how to efficiently plan it out beforehand! Thanks for putting these together!

From Part one I have fallen in love with your work through in Sketchup. Amazing I must say. Thank you so much, Chris.

Fantastic work, Chris! The offset tool you showed in part 1 has already been a huge improvement for me!

Thanks for the time taken with these videos Chris. I’ve been trying to get my head around sketch up for the last couple of weeks. This has made it a lot easier to understand. Great videos mate. 👍

Thank you Chris!

Amazing tutorial!! It would be cool to see you make this piece, just so we could get a complete start-to-finish project.

Would love to see more videos of you modeling in sketchup! Potentially an interesting series in the second channel?
