I rarely get around to asking in the video, But I sure would appreciate it if everyone watching took the time to subscribe to our Channel. And if you want to be notified of our upcoming releases, Click the bell. Thank You!!!
I subsribed already because I love the way you explain things. I find you and your family take great care in working with wood and thanks to you I fell in love with woodworking. Thanks James and keep safe!
Thanks! I learned several new things watching this and I've been using sketchup for a while now. When you stop learning, that's when to worry. Kudos to your daughter!
Thank you and your daughter for this and the first excellent video. I have watched multiple videos on Sketchup and your videos were easier to follow, followed a logical progression while explaining simple items like "hitting the space bar to go back the the arrow key". It is obvious that you were an excellent teacher. As a woman, I love watching your daughters in your videos! Thanks again.
Great video! Thanks! Couple of things: 1. How would you export this design in order to make a cut list with detailed dimensions (including details like mortise/tenons) and start building? 2. Maybe your next video should include things like curves, bends which are the second most commonly used shapes in woodworking after rectangles.
when doing the top you can move the first one, press CTRL to copy, once it is in place "DO NOT" get out of the move tool but type *14 this will times the move by 14. I hope people can follow what I mean???
Yeah, while I was watching that section, I was thinking to myself "why not either: a) multiply by the division of total depth of benchtop while STILL in "MOVE" tool or; b) Copy the first component, add to the end of the desired depth, and then while STILL in the "MOVE" tool divide by the required amount of components, e.g. 14? If that makes sense, at all?
Nice trick! So the way it worked for me is after typing 1.5 AND hitting enter to commit the copy, then I typed *15 and got all the copies to cover the depth of the bench. If I type 1.5*15 it only does one copy.
Use it or Lose it. No truer words have ever been spoken. I am an Adobe ACP (Adobe Community Professional) and I have taught Photoshop at three PSNZ (Photographic Society of New Zealand) National Conventions, and at Adobe MAX in America. My approach is pretty much the same as yours, and that is to learn the tools that you'll need to do what is of interest to you, and keep using them until they become second nature. Then, as time goes by, learn new tools and techniques as and when situations arise that require them.. I have spent thousands of hours using Autocad professionally as a Design Engineer, but I prefer SketchUp. It is very intuitive and there are a ton of tutorials available. More importantly, for us as woodworkers and metal workers it is an incredible design aid that lets us output perfectly dimensioned components for whatever job we are working on. Remember, you don't need to learn it all right away, and learning SketchUp becomes completely manageable for anyone.
Thank you SO much for making this video. I've been struggling with SketchUp for a long time, thinking I was never going to figure it out. Your video helped me understand a few things that were REALLY holding me back. For instance, I'd been trying to create mortices forever, with zero success. Your video showed what I was doing wrong (first triple-click the component, then draw/cut the mortice). That one thing opened the floodgates, and I think I now "get it." I just designed a workbench to hold my SawStop compact table saw, and also my router. I made more progress in the last 24 hours than the preceding 3 weeks! Again, THANK YOU for making this video!
This video touches on every single missed point from your first video! Thank you so much! I've successfully built both the table and the bench between today and yesterday. When you make the short boards towards the end of the video, you made each one an individual component. I made one board on each side and copied them over to their respective sides, and then made the group of the four boards a component. It was quick! Thanks again! Would absolutely love to see a video on circles, arcs, curves, etc. @KingsFineWoodworking
This is the single most practical tutorial I’ve seen for woodworking on RUclips. Brilliantly orated. My SketchUp skills will be so more efficient moving forward. Thank you for this.
Thank you for another outstanding tutorial James. I have watched many Sketchup tutorials and your style of teaching tops them all. Please keep publishing these tutorials; perhaps dimensioning, exploded view, cutting layout of your coffee table and workbench. Again, thank you - you are the best.
Like your tutorials. Was a Ford product designer for nearly 40 years. Going from Triangles and pens to several versions of design software over the years until I retired in 2004 I have found jumping into the workflow and learning as I work on a project comes easily from my experience. I also am an instructor for our state fire service and hands on teaching is what we do. Always picking up a few new tricks watching these.
Your tutorial teachings are absolutely amazing! You say just enough to understand what you're talking about. Please make more with putting furniture inside a storage shed, house or even show us how to make automotive shapes and parts.
Thank you for this video. I really appreciate how you explain your process of using this program. I am a 69 year old female that helped my ex-husband work on many projects but never planned or made one myself. He made a large L-shaped cabinet with a solid surface top to hold a 55 & a 75 gallon aquarium that sets below a wall-mounted TV in the living room. I no longer use the aquariums and would like to build an L-shaped bookcase in their place. I realize it will be a large project and I'm in the process of designing it in SketchUp. Once the bookcase is done I also want to add doors, shelves and drawers to the cabinet as he never put them in (I have a curtain hanging on it now). So, with that all bring said, Yes, more videos please.
Recovering from shoulder surgery and decided it was about time to learn SketchUp. Had tried off and on over the years and have up. Your tutorial is the BEST I have found online. I did the coffee table and I felt I learned more in 20 minutes with your tutorial than I had on years trying to track myself. My adult daughter wants to start designing furniture so hoping your teaching will get me to where I can teach her. She'll design, I'll build.Bravo! Thank you.
I enjoy watching you and your family build,; these ladies are making a lovely statement showing how women have a place in the trades as well! Your whole family can be extremely proud of your accomplishments. I also enjoyed this introduction to sketching. Thank you.
excellent video, the fact that you are an educator by profession is clearly evident, you explain in ways that are easily remembered! I'm a retired cabinet and furniture maker and have always used paper, pencil ,and ruler to design my projects ,but not anymore. thanks
I find X-ray mode to be useful when creating "hidden" joinery. Create the rail's tenon(s). Place the rail component as needed against the leg component, which does not yet have its matching mortise. Turn on X-ray mode. Double click to edit the rail component (do not hide rest of model with this technique). Use the rectangle tool to draw a rectangle on the face of the leg where the rail's tenon intersects the the leg's face (X-ray mode lets you do this "behind" the rail component and the rectangle tool will easily snap to the diagonal corners of the tenon). Push-pull the new rectangular area to create the mortise (X-ray mode will let the Push-pull tool easily find the new mortise rectangle face). Bob's your uncle! It takes way longer to describe this technique in words vs just doing it in SketchUp. All that said, this is more of an advanced technique and your Tape Measure tool guides methodology works just fine, albeit with a little simple mental math gymnastics.
Hi James, I am making a Roubo Bench these days as I am at home. I am a Struct. Eng. using AutoCAD for my projects, but not as a draftsman. When starting to make my Woodworking Bench I did used AutoCAD. It was tough, never the less it was 2-Dim. Drawings I was making. I just got your video and it is great. I worked with Sketch Up Software for some projects in the past however I am not expert in any of these two Softwares! Thank you very much for teaching an easy way to create a Woodworking and/or any other 3-Dim. Drawing, and your daughter.
Dear James,I just wanted to thank you for the information you share with us. You are a good man I know this by the way you are with your family when kids want to be with their parents that's love and you're very lucky. You also make people want to better themselves and that also is a gift,keep up the wonderful work and God bless you and your family (from the bottom of my heart)
I never knew you were an O-chem teacher! My O-chem professor in college was probably the most entertaining and effective teacher I ever had. Thanks for putting your time into this video. Very helpful.
James you simply have a gift for teaching. Thanks for taking your time to do this. This was my first experience with sketch up and I was following along as you were going. Awesome!
Hi James, thank you for another fabulous video. You realy are a great teacher! Thank you for taking the time time make and share this video. I am making mistakes, returning to your videos and correcting them, sketchup is no longer my enemy.
Simply the best way to teach! I watched some of your other videos, and they are all perfect and very encouraging! Subscription a must! Greetings from Switzerland, daniel!
you are a great teacher young man!! Thank you. Newly retired and want to do more wood working as finance allow tool purchase (always got to get those expenditures past the boss first); Was looking for something to draft up items rather than scribbling on a piece of paper. This is great! Will be checking your other videos for additional teachings.
as always, fantastic video. i'm planning to build a new shed in the back yard this summer, and wanted to draw up the plans in sketchup, but figured it would take way too long. All of the tips in this video were extremely helpful, to the point where i was able to sketch the plans (every single piece of wood) in about an hr. now i know exactly how much lumber i need to buy, and can probably give the wife a quote on how much my project will put us back. thank you, James.
Am watching this again and it is still the best introductory sketch up video on RUclips. An excellent video that takes anyone from novice to competent clearly and quickly
Ahh..! Thank you for this video on SketchUp! I have v4.0 & am still using it for many projects but your version is super! Your videos are excellent! Your use of voice-over (removing live-action-machine noise) is great. Please do more SUp projects as it is highly motivational & educational! Great work!
You really are an educator. I have tried over and over to learn SketchUp and quit. With this video and the previous one, I have been able to make simple projects in no time. Thank you so very much sir.
Thanks for this video, James! I appreciate the instruction style you have adopted. Reiterating what tool is used after each step made this a really easy to follow video. I'll be following along with it later when I have some time. I just wanted to express my appreciation to you and Sai for taking the time to help us SketchUp newbies!
Thank you for another great sketch up tutorial video! I'm struggling my way thru it right now with my fumbling fingers and you make it look so easy! Big kudos to your daughter for passing on her experience and knowledge! I greatly appreciate all the help I can get. Shalom
I know this from 2½ years ago but thank you, James. Best straightforward SketchUp tutorial I've seen. PS I've been a subscriber for a long time because it's one of the best woodworking channels on YT.
Fantastic! You are a great educator! I thoroughly enjoyed this and the previous Sketchup video. More, more, more please. I look forward to future videos.
Thank you for the lesson this by far the best Sketchup lessons I've seen. Partly because of the project but mostly due to your clear instruction very well done thanks! I would like to see more I do know how to add the wood grain what I would like more info on is adding item such as a vice to the bench or say a table saw at one end for reference. again thanks to you and your daughters for all the hard work you put into these videos
Thanks a ton James, wish you were nearer and taught a class. I've been frustrated by SU for forever and your video was/is extremely helpful.A good teacher you are, may the 4th be with you.
Thankyou, the most simple and easy to follow Sketchup lesson ever. Please do more, you have a fantastic teaching style. Keep up the great work, love your channel
Thanks so much for this video James. I have been waiting for another one since the first one you made. I really appreciate your help and instruction for this program as I would be lost trying to figure it out on my own, as I'm sure other would too. So thanks very much for this and am looking forward to the next one. Thanks again!!! Respectfully Jim Scott
Hey James, i'm glad i have found this tutorial. I have found several video tutorials about Sketchup, but yours was the one i could follow and understand without the need for a dictionary lol. I am 53 and a bit "old school" i guess, i always used a piece of paper and a pencil to make my drawings for my projects. You have no idea how much paper i have wasted hahaha. Anyhow, some time ago i found Sketchup on the internet because my wife told me to learn how to use the computer for more than looking at RUclips or finding stuff on the internet. I just had no idea on how to use Sketchup until i looked at some videos and i could see the potential of the program. I just kept struggling with how to do all the alignments and it always came out looking like something build by a 5 year old kid. I now have used your way on how to do it, and what do you know, i actually am able to make some good projects with the correct measurements. Now my wife can't complain anymore about me using to much paper and pencils lol ( and my desk looks a lot cleaner ). Only problem i have now is that i will have to drag my computer to my workshop because i don't have a printer 😂🤣 Good job, you have saved my marriage lol.
Excellent videos, I've learned so much. I tried sketchup before and ended up uninstalling it but your videos have inspired me to reinstall it. I've now already designed a toy box for my grandson fully dimensioned in just an hour or so, now all I have to do is make it. I would love to see you do more videos as you make it so easy to understand. Many thanks...
This was incredibly helpful. I feel that I could confidently use this program. Thank you so very much for putting this together and for your gifted teaching abilities. Also thanks to you daughter!😉
Thank you for this tutorial. It's excellent. Thank a lot to your daughter too. I learn sketchup for a year now and with your video i've learned some shortcuts and tricks.
Excellent tutorial, James. Your method of teaching is very effective. Please continue with more involved projects using more of the sketchup features..
This is a fantastic video series. In my former life I taught DOS based AutoCAD. It lacked 3 dimensional capabilities and I was reluctant to try Sketchup. I’ve seen others on RUclips but this by far is exponentially better. I hope you continue.
Great video a James, learned several new sketchup tricks. Would love to see more sketchup videos ranging from basic to more complicated. Shop cabinets, extreme torsion table, shop jigs, shop layout (floor plan), etc. thank you again.
Just stumbled on your channel. My son and I have just started woodworking and your projects are great. The tutorials for Sketch-up are fantastic! Very easy to follow. I have learned so much. Hope to see more.
You are a good teacher. I've watched a lot of sketchup videos and you are by far the best I have watched. Well thought out in your presentation. The thing I've noticed in a lot of other videos is the instructor has forgotten how much they know and do things without explaining what they did. It makes it difficult to follow their presentation. Please keep making more videos going deeper into sketchup details.
Exelent Tutorial,will see this tutorial 10 more times in order to graduate, Tank you very much.I'm not 15 any more,I'm 82 and I'm fascinated,Tanks again.Can print the measurement.
I rarely get around to asking in the video, But I sure would appreciate it if everyone watching took the time to subscribe to our Channel. And if you want to be notified of our upcoming releases, Click the bell. Thank You!!!

Am watching this again and it is still the best introductory sketch up video on RUclips. An excellent video that takes anyone from novice to competent clearly and quickly
Thank you. You are very kind.
Thanks for a great instructional lesson for Skechup. Best one I have found.
Ahh..! Thank you for this video on SketchUp! I have v4.0 & am still using it for many projects but your version is super! Your videos are excellent! Your use of voice-over (removing live-action-machine noise) is great. Please do more SUp projects as it is highly motivational & educational! Great work!

Great job Cy
Fantastic! Much less confusing than the first one!
I would suggest watching this one first, then the original.
This is valuable information a lot of us are not skilled and drawing so this is helpful thank you
Thank you!
Thanks so much for this video James. I have been waiting for another one since the first one you made. I really appreciate your help and instruction for this program as I would be lost trying to figure it out on my own, as I'm sure other would too.

Hey man, thank you for this video. This was extremely helpful!
I have subscribed,good content,bit of laugh ,i think your youngest daughter always tys to get in on video !!
Excellent tutorial, thank you
Great tutorial man. Thank you and your family for taking the time for creating this video.
Excellent vidéo again as always. Love to see how you would develop a cutting list from sketchup.
Hey James, i'm glad i have found this tutorial.
I have found several video tutorials about Sketchup, but yours was the one i could follow and understand without the need for a dictionary lol.
I am 53 and a bit "old school" i guess, i always used a piece of paper and a pencil to make my drawings for my projects. You have no idea how much paper i have wasted hahaha.
Anyhow, some time ago i found Sketchup on the internet because my wife told me to learn how to use the computer for more than looking at RUclips or finding stuff on the internet.
I just had no idea on how to use Sketchup until i looked at some videos and i could see the potential of the program. I just kept struggling with how to do all the alignments and it always came out looking like something build by a 5 year old kid.
I now have used your way on how to do it, and what do you know, i actually am able to make some good projects with the correct measurements.
Now my wife can't complain anymore about me using to much paper and pencils lol ( and my desk looks a lot cleaner ).
Only problem i have now is that i will have to drag my computer to my workshop because i don't have a printer 😂🤣
Good job, you have saved my marriage lol.
No click bait there really is the best and easiest if ever seen learn loads thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Cheers mate 🍻👍
Excellent video to learn the basics. The pacing and repetition was spot on. An excellent follow up to your intro video. Make more of these.
Excellent videos, I've learned so much. I tried sketchup before and ended up uninstalling it but your videos have inspired me to reinstall it. I've now already designed a toy box for my grandson fully dimensioned in just an hour or so, now all I have to do is make it. I would love to see you do more videos as you make it so easy to understand. Many thanks...
Excel ant! You just answered several things I was having trouble with.
James Excellent Teaching, Best on youtube . Please keep them coming

This was incredibly helpful. I feel that I could confidently use this program. Thank you so very much for putting this together and for your gifted teaching abilities. Also thanks to you daughter!😉
Thanks for taking the time to make this detailed video, very helpful!
I love the video. Kindly make some more videos.
Thank you for this tutorial. It's excellent. Thank a lot to your daughter too. I learn sketchup for a year now and with your video i've learned some shortcuts and tricks.
Even tho I'm familiar with sketchup, I learned something new. Thanks for the video!
Very good tutorial.
Excellent tutorial, James. Your method of teaching is very effective. Please continue with more involved projects using more of the sketchup features..
Good to see you back making videos! Hope yall are staying safe
Thanks! You too!
Thank you so much! Subscribed!
This is a fantastic video series. In my former life I taught DOS based AutoCAD. It lacked 3 dimensional capabilities and I was reluctant to try Sketchup. I’ve seen others on RUclips but this by far is exponentially better. I hope you continue.
first time using sketchup make, with your tutorial i find it very very easy to follow. thank you.
this really helpful to me as a beginner woodworker.... love it!
Great video a James, learned several new sketchup tricks. Would love to see more sketchup videos ranging from basic to more complicated. Shop cabinets, extreme torsion table, shop jigs, shop layout (floor plan), etc. thank you again.
Just stumbled on your channel. My son and I have just started woodworking and your projects are great. The tutorials for Sketch-up are fantastic! Very easy to follow. I have learned so much. Hope to see more.
Outstanding, as always! Thanks!!
Another great Sketchup video. loved the first one
This is the best tutorial I've watched!
Thank you for this tutorial! Very well explained!!!
Awesome tutorial! Thanks, I hope there are more to come.
You are a good teacher. I've watched a lot of sketchup videos and you are by far the best I have watched. Well thought out in your presentation. The thing I've noticed in a lot of other videos is the instructor has forgotten how much they know and do things without explaining what they did. It makes it difficult to follow their presentation. Please keep making more videos going deeper into sketchup details.
