Thanks for the time taken with these videos Chris. I’ve been trying to get my head around sketch up for the last couple of weeks. This has made it a lot easier to understand. Great videos mate. 👍

This is so helpful !!!! many thanks

Fantastic work, Chris! The offset tool you showed in part 1 has already been a huge improvement for me!

Hey Chris, Thank you for sharing this. I have done some SketchUp classes in the past and it is good to see your way of doing things. It was a fun little journey. I also like that you are encouraging people to google those things they want to use in the software. Well done.

This video series is just amazing and much needed. Thank you so much for it!

From Part one I have fallen in love with your work through in Sketchup. Amazing I must say. Thank you so much, Chris.

Can't thank you enough for putting together these two amazing tutorials.

Well explained Chris!

Chris, I've been out of the shop for about a year following an injury. Watching these two videos actually has me excited again to get back out to make things now that I know how to efficiently plan it out beforehand! Thanks for putting these together!

I'm so glad these videos came up when I searched for Sketchup Tutorial! Coming from 20years in AutoCAD it's so cool to have the freedom of 3D design in such user friendly environment. Your explanations of the functions is spot on, and this has given me all the tools I need to tackle the cabinets myself for our new home! Thank you!

Amazing tutorial!! It would be cool to see you make this piece, just so we could get a complete start-to-finish project.

I can't believe that what I was looking for just appeared on your channel just a day ago! Great job and thanks!

Dear Mr. Chris Salomone, thank you for this series it is a perfect. In very simple way you gave me all I need.

THANK YOU! By far one of the most helpful and important SketchUp tutorials for woodworkers!

I really appreciate you doing this. I knew about 90% of what you showed in these two videos but that extra 10% of knowledge is really going to help me out. Thanks!

thank you so much for making these videos! i am thinking about making some furniture pieces but i'm also a beginner woodworker, so it's going to be helpful to have a plan of attack for what i want to make! i'm on the first watch now and i'm super excited to actually model. i love the rest of your videos and your designs, so i can't think of a better person to learn from.

Oh Chris, I could kiss you, I have been using Sketchup for years and whenever my models got more complicated I struggled, then along comes Chris, and whispers that one golden word ..... COMPONENTS!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you

Totally loved watching this series. Watched a couple times and it really got things rolling for me :) Working on a hanging desk project on a hoist :) Thank you.

Great Video as always...."Flip Along" always twists my mind....

Chris thanks for your tut - you are doing great job, your mode of presentation is very nice and understandable. What is also great is your technique - you show so many things to speed up the process

Great job on this series Chris! Well rounded tutorial for sure.

Thanks for making these videos. I used AutoCAD in a former career, so familiar with a lot of the concepts. But needed some details on the nuances of SketchUp. I am designing a themed shell for my keezer (freezer version of kegerator) and I am making great progress. Keep up the great work!

Thank you chris! Ran through no issues this time around!

So awesome knowledge Chris! Thanks for sharing this! 🙌🏻

Perfect! Thank you for all of your efforts, your help was instrumental in helping me create my peace

good to see i guessed the right way to figure out my cuts. ive been using sketchup for almost 10 years but still learned some stuff from these vids.

A wonderful overview of how to create a thing in Sketchup! Thank you!

Very well done and neat work Chris. Would like to see you build it. Thanks for sharing✏

This was very insightful and helpful. Thank you for sharing!!

Really enjoyed watching this... Very well explained and will hopefully improve my efforts in the future...Thanks!!

Thanks for the tutorial..by far this is the best sketchup tutorial video and it help me A LOT...great job!!

Again, an outstanding series and content! Thank you for posting, I have tried using Sketchup in the past but after watching this content I am going to give it another try! :^)

Amazing video and explanation Chris! I found your video really easy to follow (even in 1,5x and not being a native english speaker). You have a new subscriber here!! All the best and thanks for this!

i watched this series of toturial and i learned a lot..thank you so much for sharing your knowledge..it is really a great help specially to us who are new in woodworking DIYs.. :) Thank you so much.. God bless!

Thanks. So helpfull for a beginner woodworker to see your process! Learned a lott!

Back to Pt.1 to follow along the greatest video explaining how to use the software thanks 4 eyes

Gracias por compartir, haces un trabajo increíble y de excelente calidad.

Thanks man! I really apreciate it, ur way of taking and your voice is a solid quality for these sort of videos.

Thats awesome. I've been wanting to get a video on SketchUp like this. I can tell I'll be watching these 2 over a lot. Lol. Thanks dude.

Great tutorials, thank you for sharing!

Thank you so much ! Best tutorial I have ever tried.

Great video and most of all great explanation of your workflow. Thanks

thank you very much for making this tutorial Chris.

Thank you for the quick back to back!!! This is awesome.

I've watched my fair share of sketchup tutorials and I usually fall asleep, these two videos were fantastic!

THANK you very much for making and sharing this video and part 1 of course too. Really very helpfull to start my journey with sketchup. Making this video must have taken a lot of time and skills. So that i appreciate so much.

Thanks for sharing this! I would love to see a video of you showing how you build this piece next.

Great video. I already have some experience in SolidWorks so it was nice to learn some simpler but still powerful tools. One small tip about 15:25. Instead of doing that and then manually drawing the missing surfaces I do the following: Add a cylinder as a new component. Having it selected go to Tools/Solid tools/Substract. Click on the panel to subtract the cylinder from it.

Thanks again Chris. Sooooo good!!!

Awesome level of detail for a advanced beginner. Thax

Great video for the beginners. Thank you so much.

Good and solid tips, I appreciate those. Thanks.

Only just come across this channel, absolutely love it. Keep up the great content 👍

Excellent Chris.

Thank you so much for the benefit of your knowledge. This is going to be massively useful😁

i love all your videos since the beginning of your chanel but i appreciate even more this type of. Thanks a lot

The best. I will try this. Thanks

Hello, loved your presentation format! Thank you and god bless you!

This unlocked so many ideas for me. Thank you!

Hello Chris, I'm no Sketchup virgin but I'm certainly no veteran either. I enjoyed both your vidz. Even thought I know about each tool and their functions and how to use them its nice to see other people's angle of attract and how they go about using the program. On that front I learned a lot through these vidz, thanx from 🇬🇧 Regards Alec

some great info in here Chris, thanks. I sketched up my last kitchen remodel (7 years ago) and these tutorials would've been super helpful.

thanks a lot, great content and teaching!

I never really saw the need for components. I rarely have repeating objects that I want to edit all at the same time. So I just use groups. But the trick of creating a throw-away duplicate to work on away from the other parts is just brilliant. I might start using components now. Thanks!

Thank you so much, aftdr part 1 I designed my first piece in SketchUp, now let's make it fancy ^^

Great video! Keep up the good work

Thanks a lot, no better tutorial for woodworkers than one made by a woodworker

Wonderful. Like your Raw technique and include it in my other technique. Thanks

Thanks for sharing this.

Great tip taking the pieces and laying them out to create a cut “list” 😀

Very helpful! Much appreciated.

Thanks man. You earned yourself a subscriber. Great content. Thank you once again!

14:08 Something i never knew before. Thankyou so much for this trick!

Thank you. Educational

thanks so much chris!

I love how you make a duplicate of something and edit it away from the piece. Like with the drawer fronts. Genius

I wasn’t using the offset tool before and knew about duplicating components but never thought of using a dummy one to edit a piece! Thanks for the insight

This is fantastic, thanks for sharing

After making the same, it seems that we need to make the side panels unique due to the grooves for the sliding doors, however, thank you so much for the camera shortcuts, works well

awesome work

Great tutorials, thank you.

I thought i knew how to work on SketchUp until i saw your videos. Thank you Chris!

Great video. I use this program in my career. It is always fun to see how others implement it. One recommendation is at 15:20, you delete the notch in the drawer and have to draw in the spot that becomes a void. One solution would have been to push/pull that notch through the drawer to remove that section, all the while, keeping it solid. - Hope that makes sense... I love your videos and wish I could show my appreciation through Patreon. What I don't have in money, I have in time and would be happy to show/forward extensions or other techniques that I find for modeling at a more proficient pace.

chris - thanks for this! i am an old school architect and this will help me survive in the 21st century! take care :-)

Great video(s)... one trick I didnt see covered is knowing what plane to flip the component in (red, green or blue)... the trick is, flip on whatever plane you copied on... if you duplicate/drag along the red-axis, then flip on red does what you want.... if you drag/duplicate on blue, then flip-on-blue does what you want.. YMMV

Thx Chris !

This miniseries was great Chris.

Jaysus that speed up dramatically compare to previous one. Like you said, lots of hitting pause :D thanks

This is so good

Thank you!

thanks !!! help me a lot

Lotta useful techniques like: 1. Making things a component, dragging a copy of it out to where you can see and work on it. @21:04 Making certain components unique to decouple special components. 2. @21:25 Extra space in the door runners so sliding doors can be removed. I got around this by cutting slots at the end of my cabinets so the door can slide through lol.

Awesome, thanks a lot !

That’s great 👌🏻

This is awesome! Thanks for posting this Chris! I've been trying to figure out Sketchup for a while and couldn't quite wrap my head around it and you laid out the basics perfectly! I'm grateful! One spot of trouble I had was in Part 2 at 17:05, creating the grooves for the sliding doors. I haven't had any trouble recessing into surfaces until here. For whatever reason, I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I've watched over and over and I simply cannot find what I did wrong that is keeping me from recessing these grooves into the bottom or top panels. I create and copy the rectangles into the surface of the panel component and locked to the intersecting points of the guide markers and the divider panel and end panel. The rectangle does drop with the Push/Pull tool, but the surface of the panel component I'm trying to recess stays flush. Anybody got any ideas?

Great video. I used autocad a lot 25 years ago but I’m getting back into furniture making now. This beats spending a couple grand on a new copy of Acad.

I wanna get me 100 videos of these. thank you and well done!

super thanks for share

Thanks for doing this! I plan on rivaling your mid-century modern catalog with my Stickley/ Greene & Greene videos. Let the Makery ensue...

Makes me want to sketchup something to build! :D

Awesome easy to understand for mere mortals
