Google SketchUp is software that you can use to create, modify and share 3D models. A FREE version is available for Windows and Mac. During the Fall of 2007 I began learning SketchUp. Gary, an architect friend who uses this software, gave a group of us a wonderful demo and provided some inspiration to learn more about the product. I find it really helpful for my woodworking projects. Below are a few illustrations of homes, cabinets and other woodworking projects I've created with SketchUp. The garage project an "animation" you can view.
