This post is a part of an extended video series covering the basics of SolidWorks. If you are new to this series, start here.
Part 2: Building the Parts
- Video 05: other Master Form surfaces
- Video 06: the Handle component
- Video 07: other assembly components
- Video 08: plunger bottom plate
- Video 09: plunger top plate
- Video 10: other plunger parts
- Video 11: the basic lid
In part 2 of our three part SolidWorks class we’ll be implementing the strategy laid out in part 1, and learning lots of tools and techniques along the way. As I progress into the individual part details, I become less and less concerned with using good parametric history technique: the further we get from the “root” of our history tree, the less important it is that we be rigid with our application of best practices, so in the interest of time I’ll be cutting some corners.

Thanks for the heads-up, Anon.
It’ll be fixed in an hour or two.Update: Fixed!
Wonderful tutorial for a beginner, everything is so helpful. But I only got up to video 5.2 since video 6 has been removed.
If length is a problem on youtube have you tried uploading on vimeo?
