Excellent job demonstrating how to use Sketchup as a woodworker.
I was quickly creating future projects.
I can't wait for the sequel.

This is great for anybody wishing to get started in Sketchup for woodworkers. This guide will get you up and running. The best part is you can paste yourself at your own speed. I've learned a lot of moves by this Sketchup program that I didn't know you could do.
Once again it's a good buy

I've had Sketchup for a year plus and have never been able to create my designs. This product is simple but holds it secrets on how to get practical results close to the vest.

After working through the projects in the Guide I am able to create and complete my designs. The greatest benefit is getting the sizes right before I make one cut. I make boxes with expensive wood and can see this tool letting me be more creative and accurate.

PS: I have used CAD systems for 20 + years and couldn't figure out how to effectively use Skecthup until I went through the guide's step by step process.

This product is worth every penny.

I'm new to SketchUp but not to CAD products, starting with AutoCAD nearly 30 years ago and also owning SolidWorks, Chief Architect, CorelDraw, and a heavy construction specific package.

I ran several of the free tutorials for Sketchup but was trying to be frugal and not spend the $12.95 for this program. By comparison, the best of the free tutorials should have paid me to use them. They were good but this one is excellent.

As with anything Dave Richards does, this book is clear, well organized and helpful even if you have been a SketchUp user for some time. The videos will draw a new user carefully up the learning curve without feeling lost. I look forward to the sequel. Good job, Dave.
