Rob,
Good plan. I have played with sketchup but thanks for the You Tube pointer.
I use welding exactly as you use sketchup. Weld, try...weld...try. For me
reality is whether, for example, my feet actually reach the pedals :=)
But if you are thinking open source production of standardized parts autocad
is a great way to go. Expensive to have parts machined for a one off design
(unless you are the machinist) but efficient if you are thinking about
production.
