Dodo Workbench Tutorial by Bugman

Post by Laurie Hartley »

I have subscribed to a YouTube channel by Bugman whose understanding of what can be achieved with FreeCAD just amazes me. I have just finished watching this video in which he constructs a tank with the the Dodo worknpbench. It blew me a away.

Not bad. I've added the channel to Video_tutorials_for_product_design.

Although I find interesting the differences in style when creating tutorials.

There are basically two styles:
* "Show me, and play background music" tutorials.
* "Explain step by step with voice and don't play distracting music" tutorials.

There's a choice for everybody.

Yes - I also have Subscribed to Joko Engineering channel. He is also excellent but as Vocx says - a very different style. I am very grateful to the FreeCAD developers for this great truly free software.

Hi @Laurie Hartley and @Kunda1.
I stepped in this post few weeks ago and the video of Bugman made me realize that in Dodo was still missing a tool to make cylindrical tanks as quickly as rectangular ones.

That inspired me to add another little tool (command "Connect to header": little hack of the "Connect objects" tool in Part) and make a short tutorial. I don't mean to start a contest but this could be a faster way for this task.
