I desperately want to figure out FreeCAD, but every time I try it seems built for a different brain than mine.
Now that 1.1 is out, I will try again and I have a very simple thing to make.

Anyone have preferred tutorials that they would recommend?

@leroy Many people have found MangoJelly very helpful; he doesn't generally assume that you watch all his videos in order. He's also been making videos about the changes in 1.1.

If you prefer the written word, try @concretedog 's FreeCAD for Makers — it's not updated for the latest FreeCAD, but the core concepts in it haven't changed.
