Basically for wood working this is going to be the easiest and most
competent program to design your projects.

Way cool program.



I added "materials" today... light wood finish. Neat-o! Later I went to
it's "3-D Warehouse" to see if there
was a vise.... Let's just say lots of folks got there before me. Pretty
cool.

http://sketchup.google.com if you haven't tried it yet. Start by watching
some tutorials. It's a cools video game...I haven't yet figured out how to

I downloaded the videos that Google puts out at

in introducing me to some of the power of the program.

As Leon and Swingman pointed out, one of the most important early tricks
is to make components early and often. It saves a ton of time later on
down the road.
