Your English is easily understood and your workflow/teaching-method and demonstration is concise. I learned more HERE in 5 minutes than hours spent watching other youtube videos trying to understand how to do this in FrecCAD!!! THANK YOU!!!

THIS worked for me with FreeCAD 0.18 running on Win10 as well as Debian buster.

Hi first of all I want to thank you. I have a Problem and that is my freecad is a new version and this video is couple of years old. The problem is the functions that you are showing here, the new freecad has not them or they are not shown like here. Is it possible for you to do this in with the new freecad? I know I can search the youtube and hopefuly find one, but it was really cool if you did it. I wish you the best of luck and thank you for sharing :)
