At 2:57 in the video is where the problem lies. 22 + 12 = 34 This mistake really opened my eyes, so I'm glad it happened. You're The Best thanks for these videos. I'm assuming you can go back to the timeline and edit that sketch and everything will fix itself. I haven't tried this yet as I'm still in learning mode. Awesome videos. Thank you
Exactly right Brian, go ahead and right click on the feature in the timeline at the bottom of the screen, choose edit feature since its the extent of the extrude feature and correct it. This is an important part of your education, especially at this early stage. Whatever you do, get this edit capability working and avoid making a very bad habit of deleting things that aren't right. You don't know how many times I've seen students trash an hours work because they didn't know how to edit a feature.
@Arnold Rowntree I've been sailing along loving every one... your pace and your voice are very clear and precise... I've learned so much so quickly. thank you. but... i did catch the same oops others have... 22 + 12 is 34 not 36, and nothing indicating the slope on the drawing package i just downloaded a few days ago.
That's right Mike, I've got those items listed for the revision. I trust you've got the details you need to get the job done? The chamfer measurements there are 12 and 6 mm.
Thanks Arnold. I am enjoying your tutorials. Well paced with small repetitive bites. A comment that in the new version physical material does not appear in the right pop-up menu. There is a "properties" choice that displays the physical material but it is not editable from there. I used the "Design Shortcuts" to search for "physical material" and added it. Now I can edit it.
Thanks Scott. Yes, the Design Shortcuts search is the best way to get somewhere fast and you have the option to pin it there for next time, or whenever you just hit the 's' key. Physical Material and Appearance now live on the MODIFY menu, down toward to bottom of the drop down.
Thank you for another informative tutorial.After watching the first 10 tutorials I felt confident enough to design a knob for an ac gauge ,I printed it and it came out perfect.
Getting a bit tricky now in these tutorials, but they are really helping. Soon I will be able to make and design the thing I want to. Thank you so much!
@@ArnoldRowntreeTeachesFusion360 I hope to build a robot character from a game series I like, life size (2 foot) but not moving, that would be a little too difficult :D
First of all, thanks for creating these tutorials, they've helped me very much so far. I do however still have a little question. I'm looking at the plans and don't seem to find dimensions for the Chamfer. How do you know these dimensions?
Loic, you've found one of the bugs that are awaiting revision for the next version. Pardon me. You can see that the section is 12mm high, it leans back 6mm along the top edge.
These are truly amazing! Thanks for all you have done. Also thanks for the quick reply on putting in a hole. That worked flawlessly. Have you done a tutorial on how to take the finished model and get it printed?
You're welcome Greg. I've only just got my first 3D printer and I do have some ideas for content but it will be a bit different, it has to be since the space is pretty well saturated. In the meantime there is a lot out there. I would recommend Vladimir's channel th-cam.com/channels/xgunnLdsV72eAezHW6u0KA.html and also Kevin Kennedy th-cam.com/users/TheKHaug
I suppose this should be for Facebook but I don't do Facebook... I cought the 36 vs 34 error but I didn't catch the extrusion (6:12) to object and to selected face or to adjacent faces. too me a bit to find and correct. Also, how do you decide where to start sketching? Before watching the video I look at the pdf drawing and think "okay, how would I do this?" then whatch and see if I get it right. This time I was way Wrong as I would have started to sketch the face with the 12 mm hole (left profile). Really enjoying this series, thanks much Arnold.
I'm glad you're getting something out of all this Geoff, this is just fine for these kinds of comments. Where to start sketching? The answer is, somewhere where its easy to get the job done. If you're adventurous enough to try it yourself first, you're going to learn things that I just don't know about. Sometimes you'll hit a dead end but sometimes you'll do something better than I can. Anyway, you'll have something to teach me and others soon enough.
Good day Arnold, I am starting to get the hang of it, so real happy with that. I have been making some simple objects, one of them is a desk cable hole/lid combination. There is one thing I can't seem to figure out, how can I go back in a already extruded design and change sizes, or scale the object?
Robbert here's another video I made about changing things in an extrude. th-cam.com/video/5oCLfYIRcUg/w-d-xo.html The best thing for you to do is make a simple cube and experiment. See what things you can change. Go back to your sketches and change the dimensions. Mess with the geometric constraints and do all the changes I demonstrate in the Extrude Q&A video. Once you get it you'll be amazed at the power of edits in parametric CAD. You can save out extra files and have a whole range of variations on your original design very quickly.
I have a question about the chamfer. Where in the print were you able to determine 12 and 6 two distance? I'm a little confused on that one. I'm almost certain if it were a snake I'd be bitten already! Lol. thanks again for the mentoring
tdg you're an engineer to the core. Yes you caught me, that's an oversight and will be corrected in the revision of this video. I trust you've been able to see how the Chamfer tool gives you the correct result, use the distance distance option and swap the 12 and 6 fields until you get it.
@@ArnoldRowntreeTeachesFusion360 No need for a revision! I'm just glad I'm asking the right questions is all. I'm not wanting to create you extra work because I know what it takes to make good videos. I've been in the Internet service provider business for 30 years specializing in unix, software development, cisco/network/routing and IT consulting, and video streaming. I've found a new love for machining! I've been using your videos to help me learn new techniques in Fusion 360 because I've been struggling taking my ideas to model them in Fusion because of a lack of knowledge. Your videos is helping me bridge that gap and I am extremely grateful for your time sir! Much love and gratitude.
Hi Onjo, thanks for the pointer. I just tested it and found that it worked for me both ways; extend faces and chain faces. I agree with you that chain faces is what we want and I'll have to dig deeper and find out about what 'extend faces' is for. This is the first time anyone has pointed this option out to me. Have you used extend faces before?
@@ArnoldRowntreeTeachesFusion360 - Hmm. It wouldn't work for me. Even though I selected the curved surface, it would run up to only the flat surface and stop there. In the version you used in this tutorial, chainfaces is selected by default, but mine was swapped and I had to select chainfaces (the second option).
There is no dimension of the chamfer. Also, when you extruded the part you put in 36mm when it should have been 34mm. That's the reason the bottom leg is off center of the rest of the part & the dimensions of the drawing.
I also had issue with that, trying to do it from the drawing alone, and referencing the video when you did the extrude. The math did not work. I managed to do the last 4 or five parts without watching. Some things I did were different but I got to the completion. I like doing them first, then watching the video. Thank you so much for this series, getting a Plasma Table in 3 months.
I don't trust no one with the math... :) , I know who will make a profit on the job.... :D. Along as we are paying attention and try to understand the 'why' we will obtain a correct drawing. Mr Arnold is doing a fantastic job of teaching us.
Great tutorials, but I can't get the same right click dropdown menus as you. I don't have the sketch options and the material options, is there a setting somewhere?
Thanks John, there was a UI update and I have done a video showing how to access all the changes. Most of the changes are easy enough to work out but can you give me a specific example? Here's the link to that video; th-cam.com/video/QysKADuoBYc/w-d-xo.html
Great video! My first off centered part. Nevertheless appreciate you putting these tutorials together! Still having problems orientating the axis as my drawing shifted on edge when selected.
thanks that sounds strange. When you get a minute check out John Hackney's channel and his video on the 'Align Tool'. I'll make a video on it myself eventually but his is really good. th-cam.com/video/87o99yDx1Ig/w-d-xo.html
You caught me Harshit, there are several errors in the 16 drawings and this is one of them. I'll be correcting this asap. In the meantime you can see that the long feature is 12 mm high and I the chamfer leans back 6 mm along the top edge.
Yes Alan, really there are no rules, If you go for more complicated sketches and begin to run into problems you know that its time to simplify your approach and reduce the complexity of your sketches. Some people have immense energy and patience, they will persevere until they solve all problems but for most of us, we like to learn in easy, bite sized chunks and graduate to higher levels when we have more experience. So in these 16 tutorials you're getting my judgment of most peoples aptitude but I'm always pleased to see people experimenting "outside the box."
When doing the chamfer, I see where the 12 mm comes from but on the drawing, I see nothing that defines to me how far back the chamfer goes (you used 6 mm).
I had this same issue too, I watched the whole series, printed the drawings off and tried to go through them on my own, I got stuck at the chamfer operation as there is only 1 clear dimension on the drawing (12mm) Where did you get the 6 from? I think it is some kind of engineering tradition that it's usually half of the first dimension or 45° ?
Thanks Ken, you're onto me, I didn't go into the three options in the "Chamfer Type" drop down of the Chamfer dialog. Yes, the one I used was 'Two distances'. Have a play with the other two options and you're on your way. No wait! I've just checked the drawing and I've left the dimension off! My apologies guys, I'll amend that.
@@antruscoe5591 yes there is a tradition to that effect however your lazy drawing author needs to get the drawing right in this case. I've left the dimension off and will fix it. In the meantime look at the other options in the chamfer dialog box.
@@ArnoldRowntreeTeachesFusion360 Sep 17,2020 Gee, you still haven't updated the link with the 16 drawings. Exercise 11 is still missing the chamfer dimensions. Sorry about nitpicking on your excellent series.
@@ArnoldRowntreeTeachesFusion360 November 14th 2020 still no update to the drawing. Also maybe consider using something like google drive or gethub to send ppl to the link to download.....that site you sent me to for the download is the most sketchy.....
Just started with Fusion personal edition 8/23/24. I am at Part 11 of 16 but I don't see how you get your Physical Material to pop up with a right click in this edition. I only seem to find it under Rendering. Could you help clear this up? Really appreicate your tutorials!
I'm just a couple of days late for you, now that you've completed the tutorials, however here's a late answer; If you right-click on your model you'll see the Appearance tool in the right-click menu but if you want to see Physical Material as well you'll have to select the entire Body before you right-click on it. You can do that by opening up the Bodies folder in the browser on the left side of your screen or you can draw a crossing over the model in the main window. As long as that thing turns completely blue the body is selected. Then right-click on it.
I dont understand how you get the values for the chamfer. i get where the 12 comes from but i dont understand where the 6 comes from or why it was chosen there was nothing on the drawing that made me assume 6 was the correct dimension
My apologies Max, you're quite right, the drawing is no help here. I have a list of revisions for the 16 page PDF which are way overdue. What you've deduced is correct, 6 and 12 are the sizes for this chamfer.
Hi Arnold, I've already mentioned what a fan I am on I think the third part! I just ran through this one (and of course, 1-10 as well) and I tried following several times - when you cut the bottom of the circle and then extruded, it seemed to be a single back piece on yours - on mine, the line is still evident, and had to extrude the central "hole" which was 2 one-half pieces of the central 12 diameter circle - should i have also cut the line that cut the larger diameter circle in half? you did not, however my properties seemed to make it a separate piece. I have set up all my parameters to match yours per your set up guide; i'm also using a newer version apparently so it still looks different and i'm still struggling with my origin of being the top when it matches your colors and your x y z locations. Thanks so much!
Am I missing something with the drawings? I don't see where you got the chamfer numbers from. I see the chamfer on the finished part but not on the dimensional drawing itself.
That's right Andy, the drawing is no help for the chamfer, that's a bug. I have a list of revisions to do on the drawings which I'll be getting to asap and that's one of them. You can see that the long feature is 12mm high and the chamfer leans back 6mm along the top edge.
@@ArnoldRowntreeTeachesFusion360 Ha, thanks for clearing it up, great coursework, have finished almost all of them, even doing the last one with out the video for reference.,👍👍
Hi Arnold - did have a problem with this for a while as the whole thing kept going out of shape as I added dimensions. Found out that I was using the sketch grid and whilst the 55mm back face looked vertical (exactly on the grid lines) it wasn't actually locked in place perpendicular to the first line. Lesson learnt - turn off sketch grid. Hope this might help others
Yeah, Thomas, I've been discussing that with another learner just a week or two back. I've had a subscriber who managed to find the answer for this a year or two back and I haven't been able to find that exchange in the comments history. I've made a note to produce a video on the problem when I get it eventually. I've eliminated preference settings (at least the obvious ones) but I'll do my best to let you know when it comes up. In the meantime, mouse over the view cube in the top right of your screen, a little house icon appears, click on that, its the Home icon and gives you a standard isometric view (if you're out of the sketcher) That's a one click procedure until I can answer your question properly.
Somehow I messed up on this one, it is the first tutorial I messed up. For some reason my half circle ended up at the back of the model and not on the front edge like yours. I don't know how to move it forward in the sketch.
Bob, if only I could hover at your elbow! It sounds like there are two sketches happening in your model but I'm only guessing. You've come quite a way already and I know this sounds mean but scrap the problem file and start fresh. I'm pretty sure that there is some confusion happening somewhere and its only the unfamiliar process that is tripping you up.
I had the same problem. I think it has to do with what plane you are on. What worked for me was to look at the box at the top right and make sure it's showing the same side as Arnold's. Also I wasn't drawing the line across the bottom of the half circle to close it.
Adrian, I think you'll find the chamfer tool is the same, you can find it in the tool bar above so long as you're out of Sketch mode. Click the word "MODIFY" with the little black triangle next to it. Chamfer is the third one down the menu. I've just checked, the options are still the same.
@@ArnoldRowntreeTeachesFusion360 yes thanks for the reply, I did manage to find it but I will go back and do it a few more times just to get it in my head
Great tutorials however when I draw my rectangle for the second extrude my circle locates on the axis plane and not the edge of the drawing as your video shows, what am I doing wrong
Keith, try saving your work, back out and open another document for some experiments. Make a cube of any size and practice putting a sketch on any face of the cube for a second extrusion. Then try another face of the cube. Are you able to do this? As to why you're experiencing this difficulty, I'd ask if your point of origin is in the centre of the first extrusion and are you sure that you chose the back face of the first extrusion to start your new sketch?
Marty, in this video I demonstrate how to manage this limitation. Basically you archive the first ones to free up your 10 places. th-cam.com/video/FlrpyzquSQQ/w-d-xo.html You'll soon be doing this instinctively.
Hi Arnold, perhaps a stupid question. I use the free subscription of Fusion 360 since I would like to use it for home projects. Is there a way to generate a paper print of a design? For example the sort of drawings as you made for these lessons. When I look on the internet it seems I must use the payed version, which is no option for me.
There sure is a way Peter and I will be publishing a tutorial on this topic in the coming weeks. The Personal Use version will be only a bit limited compared to other license types but I'll clarify those limitations and make it clear what you can do. In the meantime press on with the 16 Basic Tutorials and then find the intermediate playlist on my channel which starts here th-cam.com/video/ugb7mrOLXfs/w-d-xo.html
Side note / observation. Closing the gap on the half circle extrusion. If you don't do it EXACTLY as you did it (creating the distance first then editing) it won't come out right. Weird, but learning you have to do it then edit it. Comments welcome!
Alan, I think this is another case where I demonstrate something that works, but there will be many other ways to achieve the same result. You've tried a few that didn't work but other ideas that do work will come to you with experience.
I am having the weirdest thing happening. When I extrude the half circle to the object (25mm R edge) it show perfectly then I hit OK on the extrude dialog and it disappears, no error message. P.S. this is an awesome tutorial
Oh OK. When I enter -16 first as you did, then edit the extrusion (as you did) it works fine. I just cannot do the extrusion the first time to an object....strange
Thanks Doug, glad you got it partly worked out, have you seen my Q&A video on the Extrude tool? Its in the intermediate playlist in my YT channel. It might help.
Yes David, for a handicapped person like me it would, and it works, I've used the dimension box that way but you have to have to know your limits. I few more embarrassing experiences like this might help me to know mine.
I had to do this twice to fix your mistake. When you extruded the width in two sides you said 22 plus 12 is 36. Nope. It’s 34. The drawing was off centered.
At 2:57 in the video is where the problem lies. 22 + 12 = 34 This mistake really opened my eyes, so I'm glad it happened. You're The Best thanks for these videos.

@@ArnoldRowntreeTeachesFusion360 Sep 17,2020 Gee, you still haven't updated the link with the 16 drawings. Exercise 11 is still missing the chamfer dimensions. Sorry about nitpicking on your excellent series.
@@ArnoldRowntreeTeachesFusion360 November 14th 2020 still no update to the drawing. Also maybe consider using something like google drive or gethub to send ppl to the link to download.....that site you sent me to for the download is the most sketchy.....
Just started with Fusion personal edition 8/23/24. I am at Part 11 of 16 but I don't see how you get your Physical Material to pop up with a right click in this edition. I only seem to find it under Rendering. Could you help clear this up? Really appreicate your tutorials!
I'm just a couple of days late for you, now that you've completed the tutorials, however here's a late answer; If you right-click on your model you'll see the Appearance tool in the right-click menu but if you want to see Physical Material as well you'll have to select the entire Body before you right-click on it. You can do that by opening up the Bodies folder in the browser on the left side of your screen or you can draw a crossing over the model in the main window. As long as that thing turns completely blue the body is selected. Then right-click on it.
I dont understand how you get the values for the chamfer. i get where the 12 comes from but i dont understand where the 6 comes from or why it was chosen
there was nothing on the drawing that made me assume 6 was the correct dimension
My apologies Max, you're quite right, the drawing is no help here. I have a list of revisions for the 16 page PDF which are way overdue. What you've deduced is correct, 6 and 12 are the sizes for this chamfer.
@@ArnoldRowntreeTeachesFusion360 really appreciate the tutorials though. Just started CAD drawing and these are super helpful.
Hi Arnold, I've already mentioned what a fan I am on I think the third part! I just ran through this one (and of course, 1-10 as well) and I tried following several times - when you cut the bottom of the circle and then extruded, it seemed to be a single back piece on yours - on mine, the line is still evident, and had to extrude the central "hole" which was 2 one-half pieces of the central 12 diameter circle - should i have also cut the line that cut the larger diameter circle in half? you did not, however my properties seemed to make it a separate piece. I have set up all my parameters to match yours per your set up guide; i'm also using a newer version apparently so it still looks different and i'm still struggling with my origin of being the top when it matches your colors and your x y z locations. Thanks so much!
Gary, could you contact me via the Facebook page and then I'll see if I can help with some pictures etc. facebook.com/Futr.Engineering
Really interesting...thank you so much
Glad you enjoyed it Yahia, keep learning
Am I missing something with the drawings? I don't see where you got the chamfer numbers from. I see the chamfer on the finished part but not on the dimensional drawing itself.
You're not missing anything Chris, I'm the one who missed it. The revision is on its way.
Thank you
You're on a roll here Mykola
Hi Arnold
Bit confused as to where the Dimension for the chamfer on the long feature (95mm) end came from, as there is nothing on the drawing.
That's right Andy, the drawing is no help for the chamfer, that's a bug. I have a list of revisions to do on the drawings which I'll be getting to asap and that's one of them. You can see that the long feature is 12mm high and the chamfer leans back 6mm along the top edge.
@@ArnoldRowntreeTeachesFusion360 Ha, thanks for clearing it up, great coursework, have finished almost all of them, even doing the last one with out the video for reference.,👍👍
Hi Arnold - did have a problem with this for a while as the whole thing kept going out of shape as I added dimensions. Found out that I was using the sketch grid and whilst the 55mm back face looked vertical (exactly on the grid lines) it wasn't actually locked in place perpendicular to the first line. Lesson learnt - turn off sketch grid. Hope this might help others
Good on you Clem, I trust that you got there eventually?
@@ArnoldRowntreeTeachesFusion360 Hi Arnold, yes thanks not really a problem once I realised what was happening
Hi Arnold When I go extrude my drawing does not spin like yours. Any suggestions on what it might be? Thank You
Yeah, Thomas, I've been discussing that with another learner just a week or two back. I've had a subscriber who managed to find the answer for this a year or two back and I haven't been able to find that exchange in the comments history. I've made a note to produce a video on the problem when I get it eventually. I've eliminated preference settings (at least the obvious ones) but I'll do my best to let you know when it comes up.
In the meantime, mouse over the view cube in the top right of your screen, a little house icon appears, click on that, its the Home icon and gives you a standard isometric view (if you're out of the sketcher) That's a one click procedure until I can answer your question properly.
@@ArnoldRowntreeTeachesFusion360 Okay I will give it a try. Thank you
Somehow I messed up on this one, it is the first tutorial I messed up. For some reason my half circle ended up at the back of the model and not on the front edge like yours. I don't know how to move it forward in the sketch.
Bob, if only I could hover at your elbow! It sounds like there are two sketches happening in your model but I'm only guessing. You've come quite a way already and I know this sounds mean but scrap the problem file and start fresh. I'm pretty sure that there is some confusion happening somewhere and its only the unfamiliar process that is tripping you up.
I had the same problem. I think it has to do with what plane you are on. What worked for me was to look at the box at the top right and make sure it's showing the same side as Arnold's. Also I wasn't drawing the line across the bottom of the half circle to close it.
How would I do that chamfer now as it looks like things have changed
Adrian, I think you'll find the chamfer tool is the same, you can find it in the tool bar above so long as you're out of Sketch mode. Click the word "MODIFY" with the little black triangle next to it. Chamfer is the third one down the menu. I've just checked, the options are still the same.
@@ArnoldRowntreeTeachesFusion360 yes thanks for the reply, I did manage to find it but I will go back and do it a few more times just to get it in my head
Thanks my guy
You're welcome Ridwaan, keep going.
Great tutorials however when I draw my rectangle for the second extrude my circle locates on the axis plane and not the edge of the drawing as your video shows, what am I doing wrong
Keith, try saving your work, back out and open another document for some experiments. Make a cube of any size and practice putting a sketch on any face of the cube for a second extrusion. Then try another face of the cube. Are you able to do this?
As to why you're experiencing this difficulty, I'd ask if your point of origin is in the centre of the first extrusion and are you sure that you chose the back face of the first extrusion to start your new sketch?
with the free version of Fusion 360 you can only save 10 sketches what\how do you save 11 thru 16 ?
Marty, in this video I demonstrate how to manage this limitation. Basically you archive the first ones to free up your 10 places. th-cam.com/video/FlrpyzquSQQ/w-d-xo.html You'll soon be doing this instinctively.
Hi Arnold, perhaps a stupid question. I use the free subscription of Fusion 360 since I would like to use it for home projects. Is there a way to generate a paper print of a design? For example the sort of drawings as you made for these lessons. When I look on the internet it seems I must use the payed version, which is no option for me.
There sure is a way Peter and I will be publishing a tutorial on this topic in the coming weeks. The Personal Use version will be only a bit limited compared to other license types but I'll clarify those limitations and make it clear what you can do.
In the meantime press on with the 16 Basic Tutorials and then find the intermediate playlist on my channel which starts here th-cam.com/video/ugb7mrOLXfs/w-d-xo.html
@@ArnoldRowntreeTeachesFusion360 Thanks Arnold, I’m looking forward to it!
Side note / observation. Closing the gap on the half circle extrusion. If you don't do it EXACTLY as you did it (creating the distance first then editing) it won't come out right. Weird, but learning you have to do it then edit it. Comments welcome!
Alan, I think this is another case where I demonstrate something that works, but there will be many other ways to achieve the same result. You've tried a few that didn't work but other ideas that do work will come to you with experience.
At 2:58. “22+12 is 34”. Not 36. You’re human. But it being off centered I noticed instantly. Good series.
Yeah, "you're human" means dummy! I won't kill myself but engineers do need to get it right.
I am having the weirdest thing happening. When I extrude the half circle to the object (25mm R edge) it show perfectly then I hit OK on the extrude dialog and it disappears, no error message.
P.S. this is an awesome tutorial
Oh OK. When I enter -16 first as you did, then edit the extrusion (as you did) it works fine. I just cannot do the extrusion the first time to an object....strange
Thanks Doug, glad you got it partly worked out, have you seen my Q&A video on the Extrude tool? Its in the intermediate playlist in my YT channel. It might help.
Respected Sir. In video you have wrong addition like as 22+12 = 36.
Any how thank you for all, I have learn too much....
You caught me Atif! I'm glad to have you here on my channel. When I do the revised tutorial I'll correct this.
Did you realize that the rectangle at the bottom was off center the width of the base should have been 68 no 72.
Yes Zap, I went to a humanistic state school and its been a handicap all my life. A revision is underway.
Please send me the intro song, thx babes
22 plus 12 equals 36
Oh my....
Yes David, for a handicapped person like me it would, and it works, I've used the dimension box that way but you have to have to know your limits. I few more embarrassing experiences like this might help me to know mine.
@@ArnoldRowntreeTeachesFusion360 All in a days work. I was hung up there for a bit.
I had to do this twice to fix your mistake. When you extruded the width in two sides you said 22 plus 12 is 36. Nope. It’s 34. The drawing was off centered.
Mea culpa!
What makes you an expert, to post on youtube what are your credentials 🤔
Sorry prof, I'm getting tired of this.
@@ArnoldRowntreeTeachesFusion360 thats ok,nothing wrong with constructive comments
The D key is for deleat video,
OK prof, but apart from that, your engagement with so many of my videos is really helping my stats and rankings. Thanks

22+12=36?????
Yeah, ahem. Revision on its way.
Way too fast. action if faster than reaction
But great content
Thanks Nick, so far no one has complained that the scrub back and forth buttons on the TH-cam player are wearing out.
