I'm moving right now and want to design a custom desk that'll maybe fit all my needs. I was wondering what the best program would be to actually draft an idea up.
I'm finding that Google Sketchup is probably the best to use, but I figured I might as well ask you guys before I do anything.

We do custom furniture where I work. Sketchup is definitely used, but for actual design from a low-level (think CNC use) we use CabinetVision and AlphaCam.

I use sketchup. Im on mobile so no pictures of my shit. My advice would to pirate the pro version. For various reasons. One being able to export 3DS so you can move to other programs.
I have hundreds of hours in sketchup building furniture that someday id like to build.. For example I have the 3d mockup of pic related (the bench) because I thought it looked hella cool. I also rip off ideas from finished furniture from big name furniture designers. You know the type... 20,000$ for a single leather couch
try tinkercad. Go through the 10 minute tutorial and you can make guns and whatever you want with it.
> pic related it's the gun I'm designing
If you're a college student you can get AutoCAD educational version for free, and same thing for solidworks I believe. Solidworks is the better package but AutoCAD will work for 3d if you gotta (I use it daily for work as a Cad jockey). Only downside to educational versions are a big watermark that says educational but otherwise they have all the features unlocked and will work for personal use.

I'm using Sketchup, already done two bookcase and sold the plans on the internet. Not a great income. I found it simple, and fast.

Where does one buy said plans?
Looking at building some of my own furniture but don't have plans.

Get a load of this faggot, it's like he's never used a parametric CAD system in his life.

I've posted on facebook, saying plans available.
Then if someone ask for it you give then your paypal email and sell it.

Autodesk Fusion 360 if you don't want to shoot your brain out in frustration.
