Google Sketchup Videos
Monday, June 3, 2008 11:18
by: Aaron Fleischer

Originally we were discussing the possiblity of doing a
class for Sketchup and after alot of thought I have decided that it may be better (and more pracical) to take requests for demo videos.
So if you have a request for a video tutorial (something
you would like to learn how to draw in Sketchup), I will be taking email requests
and posting them n the site here as I have time. Please go to the
Contact Us page and to send me an email.
You can see the ones I have already done down below in the
Google Sketchup 3-D Information section.

Hello all!
I first wanted to thank everyone for the positive feedback
on my presentation of Google Sketchup for woodworkers at the April meeting.
I was a bit nervous, but you all were very supportive as I have come to expect from
our wonderful membership.
As I promised in the presentation, I will be posting tutorials
and informational links in this post. I have added my first section of tutorials

will keep adding more. So keep checking back here as I add more and more.
