Your depth and knowledge and the ability to explain so much in a matter of so little time is truly awesome! Thank you so much!

instead of creating a sketch to link the two corrugations, you could have used the "create ruled surface" function in the Part workbench.
Otherwise, excellent video, as usual 👍
