Are most woodworkers artists or engineers, or neither, or both? For the sake of narrowing the field, feel free to assume the population of this forum.
More than ever, I keep getting inclinations that I should be drawing and drafting. I think I can draw better than people who can't. ; ) My dad was a civil engineer who made copious plans for "everything". His buddy was a civil engineer who made projects (mostly "rustic stuff") by the seat of this pants!
I may try SketchUp (motivated by the recent "How To Design Furniture" publication by Taunton Press). I didn't think the 4-page introduction to the software was detailed enough--but it was nice to learn about the (free) software. I may give it a try it in a few minutes...just to see whether it may be worthwhile for me. I can hardly wait ! ; )
