As a free 3D modeling program, SketchUp is a remarkably sophisticated and useful tool. This seminar, presented by the author of Google SketchUp Guide for Woodworkers, will illustrate the use of SketchUp in the design of woodworking projects for handling complex shapes, joinery and design details, as well as producing a high quality document for shop construction. From the man who “wrote the e-book,” you’ll learn set up and basic drawing tools as well as how to build a 3D furniture model. Tim addresses designing from scanned images, making turned and shaped components—including moldings– and preparing the document package. Attendees will also be informed on creating full-size templates for the shop.
