As someone who has made a couple woodworking designs in sketchup, but knows nothing more, I'm curious as to what the more expansive things you can do in Blender are. I fully believe sketchup has some limitations, but I haven't hit them yet in my basic designs.

Care to elaborate?

Not the parent, but if Sketchup is like a simple hand saw, Blender is a massive workshop filled with a whole array of advanced power tools [0]. For example you could go from a blank screen to creating, rigging and texturing a 3D character to a photo-realistic movie featuring the character, targeted at different display devices.
