I wish my math was off. I'm hoping to do an article or two in the coming year, and when the page on the popwood website is up, it will be another place to share ideas and techniques. What gets printed in the magazine depends on lot on how many people request it, so let me know and I'll do what I can.
I'm also preparing to teach a class, and I'm curious as to what people struggled with as they first began using SketchUp.

Hi Everybody,
First of all thanks to all of you for your interest and participation, and my apologies for any delays in responding or sending CDs. As senior editor for Popular Woodworking and Woodworking magazines I have about seven or eight responsibilities that each take about a third of my time. The past couple of weeks I've had to put down a couple of the balls I juggle to meet print deadlines. That is about to be behind me, so I hope to get caught up on the SketchUp collection later this week.
I have received more entries than I anticipated, but I am working through them in the order that I've received them. If you haven't heard from me yet, feel free to e-mail me a reminder. If you have heard from me, and you've let me know what CD you want, please be patient. CDs will be in the mail by the end of this week. I don't have the time to generate a data base of what models have been completed, or to keep it up to date. I can't think of a better way to check than to look at the collection. I'd rather not add duplicate models to the collection, but I'm trying to be flexible about awarding CDs for duplicate submissions. The whole idea is to have some fun, share skills and models, and build a collection unlike any other. Sending out some extra CDs is not a big deal, but please be fair with me and try not to duplicate models that are already in the collection.
We are working on adding a page on popularwoodworking.com dedicated to SketchUp and its use in woodworking. In the meantime, I'll make myself available here, and can be contacted by e-mail at:
thanks again for your contributions,
Bob Lang
