    Here in Canada, we do use Metric in many areas, but like you mentionned I also am one of those
    Probably I am getting too old

    About Sketchup, I discovered it 6 monts ago and now couldn not do without it, it is so usefull to have a plan in the shop before you began making a furniture; it reduces so much the number of errors

    Here's a pretty useful video demonstration that helped me figure it out when I ran into the same problem a little while back.

    shelter, clothing and loved ones from combining
