MWA Podcast Episode 43 - Building Blocks of SketchUp

Main topic

• Bob Lang’s Building Blocks of Sketchup

Bob’s new book is a pdf with embedded video. It’s about general sketchup use rather than specific woodworking. However the format of having it on your computer with embedded video allow you to put Building Blocks of SketchUp on one side of the screen and SketchUp on the other. Used this way Bob’s book is a great reference for anyone using sketchup.

Building Blocks of Sketchup can be found on Bob’s site here.
