Lars, I’m “down the road” a bit as far as using Fusion 360. (not absolute beginner, not a pro)...but for me...that is the MOST HELPFUL video of your I have seen so far! It brings so many things together in one video! Thanks!
I don´t come to your channel from time to time I am addicted to your channel, try to watch almost every video really want to get into fusion, you sir help me a lot. The old livestreams are also fantastic to learn.
This was a great tutorial. I have watched a number of them and this one covered a lot regarding the philosophy behind setting up the sketch and the process for constraining. Jimmy Diresta mentioned you the Making It podcast at some point. That is when I first started following you.
I come from 8 years with sketchup and finding a small learning curve. The lessons your provide are wonderful. I am very thankful for all the help you are providing and I am learning a lot about this program. I would like to point out a needed for a design change in this tool box. As the bottom will fall off after it is used for a while from a lack of support. The ends should extend to the bottom and connect to the bottom board from the out side, not upwards. Same for the side boards to keep the bottom from warping as pressure will be greatest on the bottom. Oh, I would not use plywood.
Thank you Lars, You always blow me away! It is so good to see you work. The different ways you go about items is truly amazing. I learn so much by watching you. I must keep practising as mine never turn out like yours!!
I love the intro to this video. Well said! I also love tutorials like this. I appreciate understanding how people achieve the same thing as me with different workflows. It helps me choose new approaches which cut down on time.
I don't feel sad, but very thankful for all the videos created, 200?, which are very useful. It takes a lot of time creating and editing, and often there comes a time one want to move on to focus at other tasks. Many thanks to Lars taking his time sharing all this knowledge.
Great video. I picked up a lot from it. I have been doing a lot of single pieces but not moving them into assemblies. Next project will have them assembled.
Thank you for this lesson. I am maybe an intermediate modeler with Fusion 360, and because I've learned by experimentation and videos like yours, I find I am missing a lot of these professional methods of taking advantage of parametric features for later modifications (which I always need). This is very helpful, and I am looking well forward to your next video where you mentioned setting these components flat to prepare for CNC cutting. Thanks for all you do Lars!
The only thing I would change in this tutorial would be to use your material thickness (12mm) as a parameter. You used 12mm in multiple instances so updating the model with a new thickness would then be faster. That way, if you find yourself with a different sheet thickness in your workshop, then you can update your model easily by changing a single parameter.
Thank you - can we make a BOM from the drawing? I would make the glue up differently. Take your bottom and one side and one front piece, put on glue and secure it with the brad gun. Using the bottom ensures the right angle. Due to the brad gun you do not need any clamps and you can continue working (like sanding etc.) instantly - no need to wait for the glue to dry. If you do not like the looks of the nails - sink them and hide'm with wood putty.
Ooh, this looks like a good one to watch later. I really want to sit down and start properly learning fusion. Unfortunately it's just one of way too many things I want to do lol. The priority order changes several times a day though so who knows.
I imagine that you figured out why the dimension on your sides changed from 53 to 41, but, just in case you haven't: It's because of the -12 that occurs when you use Combine: cut to shorten the sides.
Another great informative video. A question regarding the McMasters library... is there an alternative for European users to be able to order the parts?
Thanks Lars! If you watch Woodgears (Matthias Wandel) he would print each part on paper at 1:1 scale. Then glue it onto the wood with a glue stick and easily cut each part out. No measuring! How would I do that 1:1 sketch with fusion?
38:40 you need to need to choose the sheet size that's large enough for your design. 39:05 you can choose the scale you want. Now you just need a printer that can print your choice of paper size. :)
I keep learning excellent techniques by watching your videos. In this one, the way you did all the sketches up front and keeping them in the center was a bit of a twist for me. One challenge I have is adding dados. It makes the sketches and the combine methods more challenging. Do you have any insights? Thank you.
@@cadcamstuff Thank you. The video did help. I am now into dove tails :-). I see the value in a hierarchical (sub assembly) method in which sub assemblies use the projection. One challenge I have are parameters do not cascade into sub-assemblies (unless I use the import/export plug-in , but that is very kludgey). I wish there was a way to link to parameters from the parent of the sub-assembly...or link in general the way I can a spreadsheet within a (google/word) document. So that parent parameters can be used in child assemblies instead of strictly relying on projections of parent components/bodies.
Hi Lars. Is there a reson you used mirror instead of circular pattern with 2 copies and 180 degree?? In my mind it would be better in the drawing, because then you get told that you have at quantity of 2 for the side and end plates
Every time I put my dimensions in they disappear. I put in the first dimension hit tab then put in the next dimension then hit enter and then they disappear. Any idea how to keep them visible?
Look at the sketch palette and see if the "Show Dimensions" box is unchecked. There are other things there you can turn off too if you don't want to see them.
@@machinistblog4632 Thanks for the reply. I just checked my sketch palette and it does not have "show dimensions'' as an option. It has show profile, show points and show constraints. Those three are all checked on.
one more idea....if you put the bottom inside the box and not underneath it looks nicer because you do not see the edges from the plywood - and from a static point of view it is more stable since the nails (brad gun) can not be pulled out downwards if the box contains very heavy tools and the glue fails...(ok, quite unlikely but I am german ;-)
Not too much, and depend if you need just modeling or CAM (what is fantastic) Good video gaming (yes, as it runs on the internet video rather on your GC) card, and as much as possible RAM.
I recently purchased an Asus Vivobook 15 with a 10th gen i3, 8gb ram and solid state drive. About $330 on sale. I haven't used it much with Fusion 360 but it seemed to run it fine. Before I was using a 5 year old Acer Aspire with an i7.
Dude!!!! Love it !! Thank you 🙏🏼
Thank you for always inspire, my friend :-)

Hey Lars, this type of doing the sketching and modeling is a big step forward in working on my small home projects. Thank you!!
You are so very welcome. Thank you for watching!
I'm sure Jim would approve!
It is so good to see you back Lars!!!!🙏
Thank you!
I've been away from Fusion 360 for a while so going back over your videos for a refresher. Sad to see that you aren't making new videos.
I don't feel sad, but very thankful for all the videos created, 200?, which are very useful. It takes a lot of time creating and editing, and often there comes a time one want to move on to focus at other tasks. Many thanks to Lars taking his time sharing all this knowledge.

Hi Dave, Thank you for watching!
Thank you so much Lars
You are my fusion teacher for almost a year now and i have learned so much from you
Awesome to hear. Thank you for watching!

Thank you for watching, Alan. Hope I find some time over the weekend to get the CAM going :-)
Lot of great Fusion 360 tips. Totally different to how I am used to modelling something.
Great video Lars, I learned so much in the video and reinforced so many other things. Thank you
Great to hear. THank you for watching!
it's really cool manual and video ! I love fusion after your video!
Once again you have made my life much easier. Thanks Lars.

Awesome tutorial...you made my day...need more of these from you, Please...🙏🙏🙏
Thank you os much
Hi why all the joints and not a rigid group? Great video between!
I don't know...Thank you for watching
An excellent tutorial. Thank you for generously sharing your knowledge.
I am really enjoying these videos and have learned so much. Please keep it up! Thank you!
Thank you for watching!
37:00 isn’t is easier to just use a “rigid group” here?
Thank you - can we make a BOM from the drawing? I would make the glue up differently. Take your bottom and one side and one front piece, put on glue and secure it with the brad gun.

I always learn something useful from these videos - thanks
Thank you for watching!
I like the idea of seeing this toolbox in a Fusion CAM Tutorial as your next video :)
That is the plan :-) Hopefully get some time over the weekend
As a carpenter, I really enjoyed this video, super awsome
Ooh, this looks like a good one to watch later. I really want to sit down and start properly learning fusion. Unfortunately it's just one of way too many things I want to do lol. The priority order changes several times a day though so who knows.

note: perhaps (user) parameter linking is more interesting in woodworking than in mechanical parts - which it appears to me F360 favors given.

We come only to your channel from time to time, because you upload videos only from time to time buddy ;-)
Well said :-)

amazing videos. so useful.
Sir can you conduct a session on design and stimulation of BLADELESS FAN on fusion 360?
Some very useful tips. Thanks. Try to get the audio equal in the different sections next time! LOL
lol, I'm getting lazy. You are right
awsome, I like that we got to make the part. thanks
Thanks Lars you are the best
This guy is really something hun?!
What system requirements should someone have to run fusion smoothly
Not too much, and depend if you need just modeling or CAM (what is fantastic)
Good video gaming (yes, as it runs on the internet video rather on your GC) card, and as much as possible RAM.

Why not do this all in one 3D sketch?
Thank you!! My next project.
You are so very welcome!!
Really good 👍
Congrat! Learned a lot on defining! Regards from Switzerland Lukacs
PS and cool you are not ashemed in showing your not perfect toolbox
Thank you for watching!
Why the solid part in my powershap is disabled
Cant wait to see how this drawing is then turned into G code for a CNC router
شكرا جزيلا
This design predates Diresta by several decades
True. I'm sure Jimmy will not claim he invented the design. But he did inspire me :-)
One negative in first 30 minutes after posting????????????????????? Lars, watch out. Psycho is out :-)
lol, everyone has the right to their opinion :-)
That's my problems..use constraint,,
I had the hardest time understanding those back in the day
Bro sketch 23 (you) bro
