If you've enjoyed part 1 you can find the full series of SketchUp tutorials on the Member Zone at: members.gosforthhandyman.com/sketchup-tutorial-beginners/
Yes please, for more sketch up tutorials This one was well explained 👍🏻 really enjoyed it. Ultimately I’d like to be able to, as you mentioned layout a room
YESSSS! This is the first video on sketch up that I've fully understood! Thanks for taking the time to do this, I would really appreciate it if you'd do another video on this!!!
Did the trial version of Sketchup 15 and gave up in frustration as I could not find a simple tutorial on UA-cam. Now downloaded V8 so I can follow you. Please more like this Andy. Dave a patron from Morpeth
Yes please Andy, I would like a whole series on SketchUp if you can, such a valuable addition to any woodworkers toolbox. You explained it all very well, thank you, will look forward to part 2
Yes Please,More tutorials would be great. Many of the tutorials I have found are not for absolute beginners. This one ticked all the boxes for me, very informative.
Yes to a part two, and yes to several more parts please. I've been faffing around with SketchUp for ages and getting nowhere, so now's the time to crack it.
Part II ? Absolutely! I've had to train people on software and I've struggled with some really horrid explanations in youtube so I know how difficult it can be. This was clear and at a great pace. Focused. Great job. This vid alone may make me a patreon subscriber.
Good video Andrew. Might I also add that one can use the middle button on the mouse to orbit in the middle of a command or shift and middle button to pan. This becomes very handy and eliminates the need for pressing O and P.
Absolutely, positively please keep making these videos! I’ve experimented with sketch up in the past and gave up in frustration. Your video was the first one that didn’t make me give up. Please keep going!
please can you carry on with your sketchup tuition and hopefully it will grow exponentially with a life of its own. your way of explaining things is so calming that I feel I can understand it so much easier. I look forward to your next video. tony.
Yes please Andy I have tried and failed miserably at creating plans in sketchup so keep going this is very,very helpful keep the good work up and thanks.
What a fantastic tutorial - more please - have been wanting to work with shetchup but couldn't get the hang of it. Thank you for a great start and I look forward to many more lessons please.
I appreciate this video probably won’t get massive views but it was just what I needed. I really want to use Sketchup for designing my woodworking projects but it’s quite intimidating to get started in it. A series of videos would be great or even just a video of you designing something with an voice over explaining what you are doing to achieve it in Sketchup. Cheers for this Andy!
Blimey, Andy, why couldn't you have done this vid 3 years ago when I was starting out designing my workshop!! It took me ages to get my head round SU, and you have a nice, relaxed teaching style! Could have done with you then. PS. I eventually bought a 3D mouse and that means you can whiz round; navigate with the left hand and select and do with the right. If anyone is going to use SU long term, I'd heartily recommend one.
I thought that as i have bee using SketchUp for many years that I would not watch this video. However I decided to watch it anyway and I learnt a few things. Well done.
Great video for absolute beginners. I use the full version on a daily basis at work and never knew about the treble click selection! I look forward to the next instalment. Cheers N
Love this, have struggled using the SU programme and given up numerous times, gone back to it many times and moved forward (slightly) but your update has given me the info I needed from the beginning. Please carry on with this series, as you have said I have also trawled the interweb for a simple 101 and struck out. Many thanks for this valuable knowledge - I’m indebted
Andy, this is great, I've tried learning Sketchup before and not had much luck, this is the best tutorial I've seen so far, let's have more. I've got loads of projects that I've wanted to commit to paper but Sketchup would be far handier and learning it from a joinery point of view will be quicker I'm sure. I will be saving this and any more you can make, Cheers.
Excellent video, Andy. Truly enjoyed the approach you took providing shortcut keys, their importance and how to put them to use. I followed along by testing everything you did in Sketchup Online. Would welcome the chance to listen to more videos from you delivered in the same fun, friendly engaging manner. I'd like to see how you create a room and then add objects to the room. Thanks again and well done!
i have been using Sketchup for many years, I am well beyond this level, but I wish I had access to this when I started using it.. it would have saved me a lot of time :) Very good starting point for those who have not used it .. it takes time to get your head around it, and these basics are a good place to start, so i heartily endorse it
I've played with it before but always made a mess of it. This has made everything clear and I look forward to many more videos. I'm especially interested in building furniture and workshop items.
This one is going to be very handy for me because i started using sketchup for my own projects. I'm going to save this video and watch it tonight when my noisy kids are in bed hahaha
Yes Andy, part 2 please. I would like to see how to do dimensioning and for constraining components, eg constraining a set of holes equally along say a face in a design.
Another comment for definitely more sketchup tutorials! That explained it perfectly to a complete beginner ie me! A possible lesson for next time, is how to centre the smaller square onto the cube when push/pulling it and making a hollow cube. If that makes sense? Say to make a hollow cube with 18mm thick walls. Thanks a lot for this, the basics make sense to me now!
I'm not a beginner with sketchup, but this was well worth watching. There were a couple of shortcuts I didn't know and those alone will make it easier to use and save time. Plus, your clarity on the basics is a good refresher. As a hobbyist woodworker, I sometimes go for a long time between uses and forget some things. Highly recommended for noob. You're a great teacher!
Brilliant. I don't know how many other things I've seen about Sketch-Up but this is the first that I fell has got me going a bit. Happy Noob ready for Part 2.
Thanks! Been using SU for a while and struggled with various bits because I didn't know some of the fundamentals.. this has filled some knowledge gaps. Do continue please.
Wonderful explanation!!! I really like the way you are teaching... explaining every step AND I look forward to the next video and the ten after that!!! You're a good teacher!!!
Thanks Andy! Very helpful. I've been using SketchUp for a couple of years to help with home DIY but these short cuts will speed me up, especially using a mouse with a wheel. Using a laptop is very slow when using the touch pad!
Thank you so much. Yes I would love to see part 2. Actually I want to design my desk and this SketchUp is really difficult for me. But you made it so simple.
Great stuff! I'm having to put the rest on my member zone since these aren't 'algorithm friendly' and part 2 nearly killed my channel 👍😀 members.gosforthhandyman.com/
Definitely do a complete series pretty please. I to tried to follow other videos but they all seem to think we all have degrees in computer science and move at a million moves a minute. This was perfect for me to get the basics. Thank you.
As an autocad user I find anything that shows how to use a different package very useful and you are very good at explaining - so more please. You can never learn it all.
Great video.I have tried to design just a simple cabinet with draws and shelves, but gave up.Your video is just the best thing to get me started and to try again.l am looking forward to future updates please as soon as possible. Thanks
When you posted your last video I very nearly asked for a sketchup tutorial, you must have read my mind. Whenever I have tried to use sketchup I have just made a mess and got very cofused, this tutorial has helped so much I for one would love a part 2 (or maybe a series). Thank you Andy and keep up the amaizing work.
Hi Andy, I'm a CAD technician and this video is excellent for beginners. Really enjoy your channel and please make some more videos about Sketchup because as you say, you'll never use a pen and paper again once you get used to it.
Having tried several times, and given up, with SketchUp because I never really found a sensible explanation. Now changed. A straightforward and easily understandable video. Please continue and I will follow (and start to use SketchUp). Thanks..
This is so helpful. I can't tell you how brilliant it is to have such a clearly explained basic starter video for sketch up. I have finally been able to get some clarity on what I know will prove such a useful tool for furniture design. Please do make another! You really have nailed the art of clear explanation here. Thank you.
If you're up for making more Sketchup tutorials it would be very welcome indeed. The amount of times I have given up because I couldn't fathom it out is mind boggling. Thank you for doing this, it was so helpful. Thanks for sharing 👍
Found this very useful. I too have been looking around for basic beginner videos on how to learn Sketchup and haven't found anything useful till now so thank you. It encouraged me to sign up to your Patreon. Obviously I want to use it for similar things to you, furniture design, room design and moving furniture round! Also I'm about to start a small 2.5m x 2.5m single storey extension and would like to use it for that.
Please make a second video. This was brilliant. Can you show how to make a box or rectangle if you already have the dimensions. If you want to show a board 13mm x 1220 x 600 for example.
If you've enjoyed part 1 you can find the full series of SketchUp tutorials on the Member Zone at: members.gosforthhandyman.com/sketchup-tutorial-beginners/
Yes! Please go for part 2. And 3, 4, 5 etc! :-)
Yes please, for more sketch up tutorials
This one was well explained 👍🏻 really enjoyed it.
Ultimately I’d like to be able to, as you mentioned layout a room
Please carry on making Sketchup tutorials. This No1 was so helpful as a complete "Nooby"l
You are great. best video for absolute beginners for sketchup. thanks for sharing. i hope it gets millions of views.
YESSSS! This is the first video on sketch up that I've fully understood! Thanks for taking the time to do this, I would really appreciate it if you'd do another video on this!!!
I'd love to know anything about how you would show your sketch up to the customer... can you print it, send a file etc?
Did the trial version of Sketchup 15 and gave up in frustration as I could not find a simple tutorial on UA-cam. Now downloaded V8 so I can follow you. Please more like this Andy. Dave a patron from Morpeth
Yes please Andy, I would like a whole series on SketchUp if you can, such a valuable addition to any woodworkers toolbox. You explained it all very well, thank you, will look forward to part 2
Brilliant Andy. Just as I thought your channel couldn’t get any better! Really clear. Please continue! Thanks. Andrew P
Thanks Andy, great tutorial. I really struggle with sketchup so please don't stop at 2
Thank you thank you thank you need parts 2,3,4,5, keep making these videos especially for someone like me how is a bit thick.
100% part 2, after seeing your al-cove video i think making this into a miniseries could be really cool
Andy, you are wasted as a handy man. You are a natural teacher. Best sketch up video I have seen. Please please make it into a series!
yes, yes, yes, please do a part 2.
Found this video so helpful.
10/10.
Thanks
Mike.
Yes Please,More tutorials would be great.
Many of the tutorials I have found are not for absolute beginners.
This one ticked all the boxes for me, very informative.
Please do a second video. I'd love to learn more, specially working with dimensions. Cheers Andy.
Yes to Part 2!
I gave up even trying because this simple starting point didn't seem to be documented anywhere in a way I understood. Thanks!!!
Please continue with this series. By far the easiest I've been able to follow.
I join the rest, Andy Part2, please. This is a great tutorial you explain it so well and it is a lot easier to follow and understand.
Yes to a part two, and yes to several more parts please. I've been faffing around with SketchUp for ages and getting nowhere, so now's the time to crack it.
Yes please part 2 and 3 and 4. Don't go to fast my brain needs time to soak it all up. Best video I have seen for sketch up. Thanks for sharing.
Yes please, more! As you say there are lots of videos on the web but they tend to deal with more advanced topics. Keep up the good work.
Part II ? Absolutely! I've had to train people on software and I've struggled with some really horrid explanations in youtube so I know how difficult it can be. This was clear and at a great pace. Focused. Great job. This vid alone may make me a patreon subscriber.
Yes please, more of this. I have had a copy of SketchUp for a while and didn’t really know how to get started.
Absolutely perfect explanation for us beginners. So please make episode 2😊😊
Please make a part two and onwards. Your style of showing us how to use Sketch up is very educational and so much better than the US ones i have seen.
This was really really handy please make a part 2 3 4 your style of presenting makes it really easy to understand
I need all the sketchup tutorials!!! This was a great one! Please keep it up!!
Brilliant! This couldn't have come at a better time! 🤗
2 years later, I finally sat down and gave it a try 😂
This is a brilliant video. Both my wife and I found it so useful! Thanks Andy.
Thanks man! You make this program so easy to understand please don’t stop with this clases! God bless you
Good video Andrew. Might I also add that one can use the middle button on the mouse to orbit in the middle of a command or shift and middle button to pan. This becomes very handy and eliminates the need for pressing O and P.
Absolutely, positively please keep making these videos! I’ve experimented with sketch up in the past and gave up in frustration. Your video was the first one that didn’t make me give up. Please keep going!
please can you carry on with your sketchup tuition and hopefully it will grow exponentially with a life of its own. your way of explaining things is so calming that I feel I can understand it so much easier. I look forward to your next video. tony.
Definitely more please - a clear intro and looking forward (hopefully!) to more
Please please please keep making more. You are brilliant my man.

Once again.. nicely done Andy 👍. 156 comments... 156 people eager for part 2 and beyond. Need I say more 😁. Keep up the awesomeness 👍.

Your sketch up video was a great intro. I've always wanted to do something like this but struggled. More videos please.
Yes please, definitely want a part 2!
Keep going with the sketch up tutorials, they are brilliant
You are a star - Thanks for explaining sketchup in terms that an absolute idiot like me can follow. Can't wait for the subsequent video/s.
Wonderful explanation!!! I really like the way you are teaching... explaining every step AND I look forward to the next video and the ten after that!!! You're a good teacher!!!
Thanks Andy! Very helpful. I've been using SketchUp for a couple of years to help with home DIY but these short cuts will speed me up, especially using a mouse with a wheel. Using a laptop is very slow when using the touch pad!
Definitely more to this series please!! glad i'm not the only one who has struggled to learn Sketchup by myself!!
Yes. Keep teaching us to use sketchup.
Thank you so much. Yes I would love to see part 2. Actually I want to design my desk and this SketchUp is really difficult for me. But you made it so simple.
Great stuff! I'm having to put the rest on my member zone since these aren't 'algorithm friendly' and part 2 nearly killed my channel 👍😀
members.gosforthhandyman.com/
Part 2, please. Thanks for taking this on.
Yes, definitely make more sketchup videos. Getting people using the shortcuts from the get go is a great idea.
Definitely do a complete series pretty please.
I to tried to follow other videos but they all seem to think we all have degrees in computer science and move at a million moves a minute.
This was perfect for me to get the basics.
Thank you.
Thanks for creating this video!!! Been wanting to learn this for ages!!
This was great! The "edit inside component" is valuable info!!!
Very useful and well presented. Certainly would like to see more about using Sketchup.
Been looking for a place to start in Sketchup. Thank You. Please make a part 2 and explain adding elements by dimension.
Hi Andy - yes, more videos on SU please. To infinity and beyond!
As an autocad user I find anything that shows how to use a different package very useful
and you are very good at explaining - so more please. You can never learn it all.

This was great instruction! PLEASE do more SketchUp tutorials. Thank you for all of your videos, they are entertaining and educational.
Yes please part 2. Brilliant video
Yes please do more Sketchup stuff - really useful
That was great! Thank you very much for thus and please please do a part 2! Cheers
Having tried several times, and given up, with SketchUp because I never really found a sensible explanation. Now changed. A straightforward and easily understandable video. Please continue and I will follow (and start to use SketchUp).
Thanks..
Yes please Andy. You’re a natural teacher and I learned loads when previously I found Sketchup really daunting. Well done mate.
Please do carry on. This was just pure excellence
This is so helpful. I can't tell you how brilliant it is to have such a clearly explained basic starter video for sketch up. I have finally been able to get some clarity on what I know will prove such a useful tool for furniture design. Please do make another! You really have nailed the art of clear explanation here. Thank you.
I have struggled to get started with sketch up and this is the best introduction I have found on U Tube. Please carry on.
Whilst using O orbit tool, if you hold shift then it temporarily changes to the H hand tool. Very useful for viewing your model from all angles.
If you're up for making more Sketchup tutorials it would be very welcome indeed. The amount of times I have given up because I couldn't fathom it out is mind boggling. Thank you for doing this, it was so helpful. Thanks for sharing 👍

Have tried to get into this for such a long time but been put off by lack of 'hand holding' starter . Thank you! Part 2 would be absolutely brilliant.
