Welcome to our Newest Moderator

[Vaughn McMillan]

Just wanted to mention here that since we created this new Design and Plans forum, we needed a moderator for it, and Dave Richards has agreed to take the job for now. (Until we figure out the mod and admin election process, and quite possibly after that, too.) Now, Dave took the job because I told him it would be easy, so no name-calling, flame wars or trolling for the first week or so, OK?

Many of you already know Dave from other forums, but for those who don't, he's a great guy, he's got good design chops, and he can make Sketchup do things it probably wasn't designed to do. Best of all, he seems to like to share his knowledge, and he's a tutorial-writing sun of a gun. I know a lot of us have already learned a lot from Dave in the past, and we look forward to having his input here.

Welcome aboard, Dave!

Thanks for taking on the job, Dave. Look forward to learning a lot from you.

Dave, welcome to the gaggle of Family Woodworking moderators.

Now I have no excuse not to try to learn how to use Scetchup.

 

[Mark Rios]

Thanks for taking on the job Dave.

HEEEYYY.......aren't you the guy that did the sketchy uppy tutorial thingy where the table is flat on the paper in the first pics and then, by the end of the pics, it's standing up in real life in someones house, complete with the soda can ring on it, a ding where the kid hit it with a hammer and a half a tortilla chip under it? It looked just like real life! MAN, that gave me the creeps because of how you did that. You must be REALLY good.

Lesson #1: It's spelled SketchUp.

(Sorry Frank, I couldn't resist. It's the spelling ninja in me.)

Thanks to Dave and the mods and admins that make this place possible!

 

[Glenn Clabo]

Thanks for taking this on Dave. We are going to redo a bathroom this winter so I for one will be leaning on your skills and talent.

 

[John Hart]

Congratulations Dave!

Hey, I knew that. But, my finngers didn't.

 

[Dave Richards]

Thank you all. I hope I'm up to the task.

Mark, I don't know what you're talking about.
I really don't.

 

[Don Baer]

Dave,
Thanks for taking on the challenge. I've already learned a great deal about Sketchup from the other forum and lookforward to learning more. Good to have your input on other design matters as well.

Hi Dave--Welcome and thank you for taking the job!

I look forward the your tutorials, tips and hints. I use TC Pro, and while the actual terms and actions are a bit different, the tuts have spurred me to try things in TC I probably wouldn't have.

Looking forward to it.

Take care, Mike

 

[tod evans]

cool! thanks dave!

 

[Dave Richards]

Thank you all for the nice welcome. I'm quite flattered. I hope I can live up to your expectations.

 

[Travis Johnson]

Yes...what others have said...Thanks for jumping on here and keeping us all in line. In fact I'll give you my permission right now to delete anything I post on here that is not allowed. Not that I would do that intentionally, but sometimes I slip up.

By the way...dumb question here but what are you guys talking about when it comes to this Sketch-Up thing?

 

[Dave Richards]

Thanks Travis. I almost deleted your thread.

Take a look at sketchup.com and download the free version. Then get busy drawing.
