Propeller design help
Hi FreeCAD community,
Hope you bear with my basic questions ... I am very new to 3D modelling and FreeCAD. I have come across this video and I want to make a similar propeller but I cannot really follow this much as it is in German. Could someone give me guidance on how to find my way in FreeCAD to create a simple propeller and a shaft. I know it is not a specific question but this is my level at this point in time ..

Re: Propeller design help
I think it would be easier for me to make a screen cast than try to walk you through all the steps in a forum post. Give me a little while and I'll post back with a link to a video.
Edit: Here is a link to the video using the English Language FreeCAD UI:

For those who are interested, that original video was done by FreeCAD forum member r-frank.
Another forum member, microelly2, has a German website here.
Here's the completed model if you get stumped:

Hi folks,
Would any of you have the possibility to do a web conferencing session for FreeCAD with me for 30 minutes ... I need help to get the basics understood.
I have a software dev background but no experience of 3D design ( do understand 3 three axis though ). If you happen to know some books for beginners, that would be very useful.
Regards
Rehman Adil

Re: Propeller design help
Just found these good tutorials.
FreeCAD for Beginners from Frederik Bedrich.
Since the license says "cc" I linked the articles in our wiki.
And yes, I have been thinking for some time to re-record my german lessons with english voice.
Maybe I will find some time to begin with that task.
But since I am doing all this in my spare time, I can't promise ...
