Time in the shop is more enjoyable with a good plan in place, and with SketchUp the typical woodworker has a versatile design and engineering tool capable of quick and accurate planning and problem-solving for furniture or other woodworking projects. SketchUp is an affordable powerful three-dimensional modeling program the ideal tool for woodworkers to plan any project. Program Level: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced Instructional Delivery Method(s): In person
The course registration website has much more detail on the course, broken out by week.2 Days: Saturday & Sunday, March 18th & 19th, 9AM-5PM Part 3: Non-rectilinear Pieces and Complex Curves-Five segments focused on individual furniture pieces that Joe says will make seemingly complex pieces quite simple, once key techniques are explained.Part 2: The Bedside Table-Six segments which, by the end, will result in your having drawn a complete set of shop drawings and a photorealistic image of the crafted piece within the software.According to the website, the course is divided into three parts:
There are lots of resources available to learn SketchUp, but Joe’s course is aimed specifically at the woodworking enthusiast. The $80 course will consist of videos, quizzes and interactive content, and will be available from Apr 13th to Jun 15th 2016. With that, Popular Woodworking University, the educational arm of the magazine, has developed an online course in conjunction with Joe Zeh from Swamp Road Wood Works in Massachusetts, to help woodworking hobbyists make the most of SketchUp. SketchUp is ideally suited for woodworkers because the 3-D model produces the documentation set we know as shop drawings and cut lists. The original developers of SketchUp likely did not have woodworking on their target market list, but SketchUp could not be better suited for woodworking if it had been the only target on their list and the developers were all woodworkers. And as Popular Woodworking Magazine puts it:
Used by many in the engineering, construction and product design industries, to name a few, SketchUp is free for non-commercial use (a pro version is available for about $500). SketchUp is a 3-D modeling software application from Trimble, which acquired the software from Google in 2012.
