no matter how intimidating something is, one's much less worried about it when some calm guy (or should I say "lad") is explaining it to you with a nice British accent

Jan, that really made me laugh. Thank you 😁😁😁

At the time of watching, this video is two years old and it's still the best quick start guide for FreeCAD I could find! Congrats mate, this was the perfect mixture of "People who start from scratch need to know THESE things", "This GUI escaped a timecapsule from the 90s, I need to tell my viewers what's actually important" and "Lets make this informative, relaxing and funny at the same time" Thanks to this, I was able to model a spool holder in half an hour without any prior CAD experience. You get my full recommendation!

you nailed the "happy voice" that makes any beginner tutorial fun and interesting while avoiding making the learner free overwhelmed or feeling talked down to... great job!

19:03 "I'm now looking at the rear from the proper angle, something that always gives me pleasure" I can definitely agree with that, my man

AT LAAST !!!! a FreeCad tutorial that I can actually understand. The presentation, both the narrative and the illustrations, were superb. Thank you.

wow, youve really made me realize how intuitive this is! Thank you!

This was a wonderful tutorial. I checked your videos and saw you never made this into a series. That's a shame, you have such a talent for having the right amount of learning and abstracting what you were trying to teach in order to get fundamentals down. Here's hoping you might pick this back up.

I'll be honest, I enjoyed doing the tutorial but at the time I was very surprised how few people actually wanted to watch it. I've no doubt this was down to the magical KZread algorithm as, over time, more and more people have slowly found the video and have been very kind with their comments.

How this video doesn't have millions of views is absolutely baffling! By far the best video to follow along to for freecad. And it was perfect for me wanting to make a phone stand a certain way. Thank you for your tutorials. And the jokes make the video so much easier to go along with, in my opinion 💯

Somehow everybody dims himself a great teacher and improvises when making a learning video, but this author actually prepared a lesson, a script and thougtfully executed with no monotonous voice or pauses, wrong steps and mumbling and jumbling. I liked this video more then everything before.

@ 19:04 great line. "..and I'm now looking at the rear from the proper angle. Something that always brings me pleasure." Just be careful. Looking at the rear too long could get you reported to HR. 😅 Freecad is the first cad program I've ever tried to use. I never imagined that it was so complicated to render what seems such a basic design. Following along step by step will help familiarize me with the different functions where I can finally design what I'm wanting to.

I really enjoyed this moment in the video. Had to stop learning for a good laugh!

I wish I'd found this before I started pulling my hair out (not much there anyway at my age haha) Too many videos rush through or miss out the most important steps by assuming you have at least some knowledge, but I wouldn't be searching for freecad basics if I had that knowledge, thankfully your approach is exactly what's needed. Thank you so much, new subscriber here now!

IF YOU DON'T KNOW A THING ABOUT FREECAD, THIS IS THE PERFECT TUTORIAL!!! THANKS MAN!!!

Thank you, very well done and easy to understand.

thank you, really useful and easy to follow - with judicious use of pause key I managed to keep up!

A Great starter, I started with Solidworks, then Fusion 360 (No Hope with AUTOCAD) and now this. It has its quirks but thanks to this video I am up and running now.

Finally I Understand freecad. Thanks

I have to say - your voice and style of narration match precisely to what I'd imagine the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy would sound like! This tutorial is perfectly easy to follow, doesn't go off on long and unnecessary tangents, and explains everything quite clearly! Well done! Now if only there were a concise tutorial on understanding and surviving Vogon poetry...

Holy crap. I've never had such a relaxing training. Please, before I go through all your videos, that you have more!

Glad your doing this tutorial! I down loaded FreeCAD 2 weeks ago and kinda gave up on learning it. I had watched a few tutorials from other KZreadrs, they were either going too fast (skipping functions) or to slow (exhaustively going over every function's detail). Your tutorial moves at the right speed for me. I can actually make something now. Thank you!

Thank you sir for a great instructional video. Hope you make more.

Best Nooby tutorial ive found on youtube, thank you.

Thank you for providing an understandable totorial that isn't rushed to the point of being unable to conprehend what is happening. Also you made me realize that I needed to change my 2d scetch by 90 degrees. I think this will work better, for what I want to do, than Blender which has been driving my nuts trying to make 3d print files.

Love your videos. I am a total hands-on learner. You can sit there and explain everything, but until I see it, it won't sink in. So thank you for what you do. ❤✌

Well, I know I am a year late, but thank you very much for this great tutorial. I learnt more from this short video than I have in the last 3 days of playing with this programme. Excellent you have a new subscriber.

This was my first Free Cad tutorial. What a great experience! This was really easy to follow. Thank you so much!

This is excellent! Thank you for this great tutorial.

great tutorial, watched several videos over the last few weeks, wen't straight over my head, I could follow your tutorial easily, Thank you 👍

I have really struggled with other KZread tutorials as they were just too fast for me to keep up with, You miss one small thing in FreeCad and it doesn't do what the instructors does and causes all sorts of head aches! Presented at the perfect speed for me, So thanks so much and ill sub in the hope to learn more. Thanks so much again...

This is the best tutorial I've seen! I was able to follow along perfectly and when I encountered errors, I could see why (but usually didn't know why). I attempted to add fillets in all the edges. The program did NOT like that haha. With 3D printing becoming more and more popular, I think your tutorials will become incredibly handy for many people. I hope you consider making a freecad tutorial playlist in the future!
