Thorsen Table #2: Light it Up

Man I can’t wait to get into the Sketchup program. There is so much potential for me to use it in dealing with customers long distance on the computer. I feel this is critical to my survival. I am just trying to learn so much at once though, and still run my business.

I made four plywood models for my chandelier project in Ohio. They were critical for the clients and myself to understand the spacial relationships and for the clients to understand exactly what they were getting. The Sketchup rendering you did is great, I think any customer would understand exactly what that is. It also has great potential for filing and being able to go back to for reference.

I’m telling you Todd. Take the plunge. Go to the sawmillcreek.org design forum and check out Dave Roberts. He has the best tutorial. I learned the program in about 2 days. o.k., that’s not that quick. But it’s worth it.

You can prepare multiple views of the project and add textures.

Here is another link to a sketchup woodworking tutorial. It is pretty cool. http://media.libsyn.com/media/atotheo/school_tss_003_woodworking.mov

Debbie. Just put a hinge on the top another top on the bottom and make it into a box.
