Chris Salamone Teaches Me SketchUp | How to Model a Dining Table

[@dkamhaji]

I’m like 4 years late but still a treat! Thanks

[@glittalogik]

Three years later and this video is still a great resource. Please get back on this channel, Mike! We'd love to see more educational content from you, especially in this style where we can learn along with you :)

[@billcraig1883]

That tip for the follow me tool was very helpful for shaping the top edge. Thanks.

[@dirtsquid9582]

Hey, Mike! would love to see this series be continued. This was a great tutorial. Cheers!

[@frankcianci1029]

Excellent job, easy to follow.

[@timstratton9]

So sad I can’t find more of these. This was THE MOST useful sketchup for woodworking video I’ve every seen. Thanks!

[@martinwoodworking]

Just search sketchup, so many great videos

[@modustrial]

Thanks for this....now I won't bug Chris with a billion Sketchup questions. :) One thing I'm wondering is if Chris was clicking on tools instead of using keyboard shortcuts for the sake of making the video easier to follow? I recently just downloaded and printed out a keyboard shortcut cheat sheet and man, what a huge improvement in efficiency. Hit "o" for orbit, "l" for line, "h" for hand "p" for push/pull, and so on, instead of having to move the mouse back and forth all the time. HUGE time saver.... This would be a simple, but super helpful thing to link to in the comments in one of the future vids.

[@cam-asherbond5316]

Chris, you're an angel.

[@unclepewter4161]

ty for these videos. i tried to figure out sketchup on my own and was totally lost but your video on your other channel helped me out in a way none of the tutorials did.

[@ChadNierenhausen]

I have been waiting for this video since Chris mentioned doing a Sketchup 101 video on the podcast. Super excited for the rest of the series.

[@WatchMeDIYIt]

I've never used SketchUp, but looking forward to trying it in the future. Thanks, 'Mark' and Chris, for sharing!

[@kirschtie5100]

Love the way how you both Interact. Sweet. 👍😁

[@combows]

Looking forward to this aspect of modern builds

[@Glassed_in_Nature]

I’m excited about these sketchup videos

[@jmakes3745]

Hi Mike, I really enjoyed the video - super helpful & informative! Two things i'd love to see videos on is 1) going to the lumber yard - what to say, how boards are measured, what price per sq foot means etc etc & 2) common angles & dimensions for designing. I can create simple drawn designs, but I find it really hard to actually create a dimensioned, to scale model that I can build off, and thats mainly because I can never work out what angle to put the legs at/what taper to put on the legs etc so a video like that would help me out a lot!

[@Locolemmiwinks]

I would really like the video on what to say at the lumber yard. I'm pretty sure I look like a moron when I go. It's almost like I speak a different language then those guys.

[@lucfunicelli3009]

WOW so amazing you need to do more of these tutoriul videos. I tried to use sketchup and watch tutoriuls but never worked for me. I know autocad so i ended up going back to what i know but alot of people and alot of woodworkers say to use Sketchup. I already love your builds and if this channel is going to be information bassed like you said on your main channel, WOW this is going to blow up very fast. I can wait to learn more.

[@ShaunGuthrie-CaskWoodworking]

Nice video, was great to see how this came together. I would highly recommend knowing the difference between groups and components. It will save your design time. Especially when creating a leg, you'd do it once and then any changes would be shown on the other legs if it was a component. Example the circles, do it once and it would be on all legs. Just learned that last week and its been a HUGE time saver.

[@robertoespinoza1321]

This is awesome Mike good thinking

[@VROne111]

Good subordination good subject good for enhancing SketchUp skills thanks and keep going

[@gray0wl]

Hey, great video. To make this series more useful, you should create timestamps of all the different Sketchup techniques that are being demonstrated so that users can a) see what will be taught before watching, and b) skip to specific techniques in a project, as needed. Example: 24:55 Chris creates a chamfered corner on the tabletop.

[@mikefrommodernbuilds2643]

That's a cool idea going forward. The rest of the sketchup videos I do will be more structured like my newest one. Timestamps could definitely work

[@jorgelovesgardening]

Mike From Modern Builds If you use Layers, you could place all metal components/groups in one layer, then you can turn it off (uncheck visible) and you'll temporarily hide those parts. This will allow you to see just the wood legs. The reason the dimension was ~2' 6 1/6" is because it was measured from wood to metal. If you measure from wood to wood ends, it will be more precise.

[@FlightSim2703]

Mike, thanks very much awesome designs and techniques, I really enjoyed watching your 3d designs, I was originally a land development cad designer, and did sometimes detailed drainage design in 3d but your designs are realy awesome. Thanks for sharing , thumbs-up mike, regards

[@UncleMatt08]

Great job guys. Thanks so much for taking the time to do this. Like the table design as well.

[@arnsoares]

Answering you question about differences between Groups and Components, Groups are just a bunch of elements like shapes, boxes, that are linked and separated from the main Stage and a Component is more robust, it is like a group, but if you duplicate that component and after you decide edit this component, this edit will affect equally all instances of this component. This is very useful, when you are working with projects with many equal elements. Sorry about my english!

[@mikefrommodernbuilds2643]

Great explanation! Thanks a lot!

[@douglaserb7731]

Think sub-assemblies (groups) versus parts (components).

[@alejadrocordero6526]

Congratulations for your 2nd Chanel!

[@brockcameron5023]

Sweet! Excited about this channel

[@martinwoodworking]

Doing the inside of the tubing is easy, just look at it on end and use the offset tool F to make the inside 1/8 smaller which will make it the same on all 4 sides.

[@krew317]

This is awesome video! Thanks mike! Very helpful.

[@NelsoncraftTX]

Boom...subscriber #17. Can't wait to see the new content here

[@mikefrommodernbuilds2643]

Congrats!! Thanks Kyle

[@gabyochoa7805]

Great job! Wait til you start adding materials on sketchup, that'll be fun too!

[@mikefrommodernbuilds2643]

Soon!!

[@lCielConLimon]

Gaby Ochoa Yes, I want it!

[@malloryrobinson6418]

This was a great tutorial! Was pretty cool to see the process that you two use for making models for your builds.

[@sethicus]

This was amazing!! Can't believe it has so few views after it's been out for over a month. I also can't believe I didn't find it sooner from your other channel.

[@sboeke91]

Cool video. I like sketchup's accessibility, but I found it difficult to design with. I've been using onshape. The logic is way different than sketchup. It's easier to change things. All of the geometry is parametric and referenced to each other. You can also just design the pieces and assemble them together. If you got some time, I think it's worth a look. Looking forward to more content. Subscribed.

[@JonnyBuilds]

Really informative, thanks gents!

[@joseemmanuelnavarro7210]

Very helpful.

[@MadebyMitch]

This really helped me out a lot. Thanks for putting this out there.

[@changbiettubaogio6531]

I"from VIETNAM, Tks❤

[@williamdeverna4543]

How do you get your lines so thick. Thanks for your time. Best regards, Bill

[@SmallFryCreations]

Absolutely love this video!!! Thanks Chris and mike!!! Quick question. How do you get those shadows and thicker lines?

[@GetHandsDirty]

The girl! You can go to View and down you can find Shadows

[@JuanMorales-ro3we]

El primero... Felicidades!!!

[@jasperrogers7887]

good vid

[@g-rothahero5351]

Dope

[@iillidge]

Mike, what happened to this channel? I was hoping to learn more Sketchup form you.

[@djdj500dr]

Height. Height. Height. Heighth is not a word, it has never been a word. Height.

[@woodrowmorrison7951]

i just put on sonic youth in the back ground, followed along and built the table. first time using sketchup. do more videos like this.

[@MrHandwerk]

Nice Channel Mike ! I like :)

[@mainormarroquin4658]

Nice thanks bro wy 101

[@mambojambostudio]

what keyboard shortcuts is chris using to move the view around and also the hand tool thing

[@andrewcaruana13]

I have sketch up 2016, is that the reason why mine looks really different for example i do not have those shades. :(

[@jeffbuth6390]

Is the protractor tool available in the free version?

[@sofabazar]

Sir please tell me how to download wood working sketches software on laptop

[@ibcrazysumtimes]

mike sounds like geekdom 101

[@tlynne13]

Do you have anything on cabinetry

[@johncalvertjr5242]

what template is this all being done in? mine looks nothing like this haha

[@DaytonMercurio]

9:48 Thats what he said!

[@andrewpinson1268]

What other channel

[@danielhrch]

Mike? I thought your name was mark

[@mikefrommodernbuilds2643]

Haha!!

[@borp6912]

It's actually Mike Markgomery

[@selfmadeit]

where's the cutlist tutorial 😢

[@samgamboa9291]

Isn't his name Chris Salomone? haha great video nonetheless! Thanks! Groups *group* them together but when you duplicate it, they're 2 different things. they just group. Components also *group* but when duplicated, it allows you to edit just 1 to edit all duplicates under the same component. although there is an option to *make unique* when you dont want your duplicated item to change along with the rest. :) hope that helps!

[@jasonfletcher5305]

which version of sketch up is this

[@swlancaster69]

Can I get a cut list generated from sketchup

[@indigetal]

Yes you can with the CutList plugin at extensions.sketchup.com/en/content/cutlist

[@MrKen-wy5dk]

My only suggestion would be is to learn how to exposure correct your camera. You're at least two stops overexposed.

[@ryblife4616]

3 videos ..

[@momoryes]

Why screaming!

[@shastakennmpx17]

Woodprix has a lot of plans to choose from.
