Somebody's a sketchup hero... I'm working with it because I can really see the value in planning out my projects BEFORE I start hacking away at stuff, but I've got a long way to go..
Well I drew up the rack, but the truck, bike, and jerry cans were just imported from the 3D warehouse.
It definitely is nice being able to see what you are going for before you start cutting. It has also helped me catch some of my design flaws before I'm halfway through a project and have to start over.
If you've never messed with sketch up or any other similar software, watch a few YouTube videos. It will definitely help!
