• Fusion 360 Tutorial for Absolute Beginners (2020) - Create a stamp tool
  • Good pace, clear instructions. For a beginner in F360 but with experience in other programs, some questions of "how did you know to do that?" came up for me. Example, you can't sketch in blank space and in order to create the handle ends, you create an additional plane, offset, to the first plane, then add the circle end to that (prior to Fillet).
