WHAT IS THE FREE ONLINE WOODWORKING SCHOOL?
When designing the online course, Matt wanted to make it as close as possible to his own experience learning at Rycotewood Furniture Centre in Oxford. Primarily, by providing a structured course that anyone can follow, without having to find their own way through an arbitrary list of videos on CZcams.
If you want to build this project yourself, check out the build-along series here! 👇

You can pan on the mouse by holding down the scroll wheel then holding down the shift key :)
Thanks :)
The cube tip alone is worth watching this series for! Brilliant and solved an issue I've struggled with for years!!
An excellent introduction to the different tools of Sketchup web for beginners. Straightforward, clear and accessible. Thanks.👍
Brilliant series, looking forward to completing the whole set
You are absolutely genius my friend ! I love your films and your technic ! Cheers from Poland !! Happy Christmas !!
Great set of videos even from this "barbarian." :) Kidding. I do enjoy these. They have been very helpful in my new journey with SketchUp.
you can click to start a shape (don't have to hold down the mouse) then type your measurements and hit enter.
Other thing you can single click and object, double click, and triple click an object. They gradually select more of the object you are on. Have a play with.
whilst drawing,moving, scaling, any action that requires locking to the axes, arrow keys on the keyboard "force" the axis : up = vertical, left = red etc... Not sure about the key/axis association but just mash'em till you find'em. Holding shift when axis is highlighted locks that "travel direction". Also when wishing for sketchup to assign ANY edge for reference, "scrub" over said edge with the mouse : skp will understand and set this as pink reference. Finally, set axes works within a group, without interfering with global model axes. Datum cube is a great tip, never thought of that, thanks!
For the orbit shortcut on a Mac (Trackpad or the Apple Magic Mouse): press and hold control + command and then use the "left" mouse button.
Shift while pressing the mouse wheel and ctrl while pressing the mouse wheel you can pan and orbit
Thanks, Matt! You are a very good teaher.
good tip with the reference cube. Thx!
For the shortcut on a Macbook pro press the O key to orbit L for line Q for the protractor P to push and pull E to eraser R for rectangle Z to magnifi H to pan T for tape measure A for the ark tool C for circle and B to Paint. There could be more but thats all i could think of the top of my head.
I'm surprised you don't use the tape measure tool more. I find the dashed lines it creates invaluable to define my shapes before I draw them.
To pan hold down your middle mouse button and press and hold shift at the same time. Now when you move your mouse from side to side and back to front etc you pan around the model.
Thanks for using the Web version. I am a Linux user and I report that it works very well so far. Sketchup is somewhat hit or miss when working under WINE.
It's unlikely you'll go back a year and read my comments, but your simple mention of line colour was, "I never knew that." With good intentions, many others often know something so well that they forget what it's like not to know it and leave out tiny details like this. Thank you.
“We’re not barbarians” brilliant.
Nor stuck in 14th century :-)
I absolutely hate that here in the USA we use the "barbarian" system of measurement. I am constantly transforming to metric.
There are two types of countries in the world. Those who use the metric system and those who have been to the moon.
The US engineers at NASA who designed and built the spacecraft that took us to moon used the metric system.
For those that are not familiar there are a lot of hotkeys in the web version. If you use the search tool and type something in it will show you the hotkey. You can even add or customize the hotkeys, which is what I did. Vary handy.
I think there are a bunch of keyboard shortcuts for Sketchup? Can’t remember what any of them are but there’s definitely one for pan. I think if you put ‘Sketchup keyboard shortcuts’ into Pinterest, lots of folks have made nice little pins for all of them. Unless they don’t work on the web version maybe? Awesome series. I’m trying to build a set of cabinets/bookshelves in my dining room as a total woodwork rookie and it’s impossible to conceptualise things with pen and paper.
"We're going to choose millimeters rather than inches, because we're not barbarians". LOL
Well I'm from the USA, and I grew up using imperial measurements; so I'll have to choose the "barbarian" selection, stone chisels, and clubs to make my creations. Excellent tutorial btw. Love the English humor too.
very good, thanks.
Great Series. Thanks, Question, how do I resolve sketching/working in metric (If I don't want to be a barbarian) but American lumber is dimensioned in inches?
Hi Matt, great video's, can you use plugin's from example from Sketchucation and also can you download 3D model from the 3D warehouse on the Web Version which would be cool or are I asking for to much here !!! Stay Safe Mate !!!.
note. you can enter dimensions by just typing it in. its a click type click to enter process. as for pan by mouse, its press the centre wheel and hold shift.
Have you ever tried sketchup for cellphone or android? Great video
I am not a barbarian! Some how I feel disappointed! Seriously great to see the tool functionality explained in plain English. This is going to be a great series.
Hi Matt. Do you have a tutorial to recommend for Sketchup Pro?
If I'm not mistaking,you don't have to hold down the mouse button while extruding to type in the mesurement. If you drag and release and then type the mesurement, it will still apply the measurement. Excuse my English if I typed something wrong.
Don't know about the web version, but in SketchUp Make 2017 you just have to use the keyboard shortcuts. Press O for orbit and hold Shift to pan...
Hello, do you cover Tags (Layers) in a video?
*Oprah yells* "You're in the box, you're in the box, you're all in the box!! I'm getting rid of all of you!!"
*Audience runs out screaming*
how to download sketchup
I guess I am a barbarian, but I am OK with that. hehe
LOL 😆 Us barbarians have done a pretty good job in leading the world in technological advancements, including the computer your using. But hey, I agree the metric system is better and it’s too bad they weren’t teaching it in school when I grew up. Good video.
Baarrbarriians?!
This guy is imparting his vast knowledge for nothing and gets two thumbs down !!!!! wtf
We’re not barbarians, and then said zee. 😂🤣😂
And "Donut".
A Texas barbarrian here and proud of it. Long live inches and feet. Brilliant video, though.
Haha... I am a barbarian. I design in inches because everything here in the USA is in inches. Thank your for your channel
Barbarians...😂😂😂😂
Barbarians huh. Wow
This is a very, very bad sketchup turorial... He missed out on very important features that make using this software actually not annoying. Also some super important shortcuts and tool aspects. For example, the tape measurer just shows that he does not know the software, you just have to press ctrl/cmd to have it actually mesure something instead of placing a guide
Maybe he doesn’t “mesure” like you
Nearly pressed the thumbs down for the zee 😂😂😂
