L.D., yes, it is expensive for a crayon but think of it as Crayola's
biggest set with the sharpener in the back of the box, a drawing board,
T-square, drafting triangles and scales, compass, pencils, eraser...

Like I said earlier, I think of SketchUp as another shop tool. For me
and some other woodworkers who have it, it ends up saving a lot of time
in the shop.

In addition, if you're building something for someone else, SketchUp
makes it easy to make sure both of you know what you're building.
