You have the patience of a saint if you managed to do this all in SketchUp. I use it for creating "art" -- buildings and things -- but I could never use it for mechanical design.
Yes, you called me out on my typo about solid/surface modeler.. Oops! I guess I meant "dumb-surface" modeler

I could never use SketchUp for mechanical design either, but it works well to communicate basic 3d forms and ideas to people without going into too much detail.
