Guys, I'm a visual learner and was wondering, for a real novice user which one of the YouTube creators does the best job of teaching true beginners? 

Thanks Pat

getting ready to do your windmill??

I'm kinda partial to Dave Richards

 

His channel- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCn5kjzwJknunX7oyrvvguZA

Dave also does articles for Fine Woodworking http://www.finewoodworking.com/blog/design-click-build

 

This should get you started.

Thanks Lew, I hope this old dog can learn a new trick.

No Problem! 

I put a bunch of Sketchup links in the Plans and Software Forum. If you go to that Forum and search for "Sketchup" you may find some thing helpful. If not, let me know and I'll see what I can do.
