Sketchup

While I was in Wellington last, a friend showed me a model he had created using Sketchup. It is a computer programme I had already downloaded, but always baulked at experimenting with. But then I figured that if a pancake flipper could master a design programme - albeit a pretty smart pancake flipper - who was I to avoid this new technology. And within a couple of hours I was up and running.

It's great. So good, I may rarely touch my drawing board again.
