Gears, Hinges and Flexible Sub-Assemblies

During todays live stream we talk about reliable ways to find and create spur gear geometry, start reverse engineering a 4 bar linkage hinge, and discuss how to make your solidworks designs both flexible, robust and lightweight.

I wonder if you can make a tutorial of how to build and use variables and equations with examples,like with the gear on the livestream step by step

[@forgeproductdevelopment]

Absolutely! Are you thinking more basic variable use within a part file and while modeling, or more complex things like sharing variables across parts and design tables?

As a SW newbie, I'm loving your content. However I much prefer to watch your (professionally produced) videos than the livestream, which come across as "off the cuff" and not well thought out.
I'm resorting to shuttling past your pauses (answering questions, making measurements, etc) which is a pain. Please don't take this as a criticism; merely a suggestion.
You are clearly very skilled with SW and I really like the content of your production videos.

[@forgeproductdevelopment]

I don't take it negatively at all. I completely agree!
Current client projects take most of my time, so finding extra hours to create content is difficult. I am trying the live streams in an attempt to put something up between edited videos. The idea is that the streams will help shed light on what questions you guys would like answered, as well as serve as the raw footage for the "professional" videos. If this format doesn't work we can always go back to purley edited content.
Thank you so much for your honest feedback! Always feel free to tell me the good and the bad.

@@forgeproductdevelopment I was interested in your process for designing the hinge; hence why I tried to watch the stream. I would appreciate a professional version of your process. I am finding your design methods very informative.
Thanks for sharing.

@@forgeproductdevelopment Hey mate. From my 50,000 ft view as a newbie, I am struggling to see the difference between solids and surfaces (note: I have done zero models with surfaces as yet). Could you do a video explaining the differences and where you would use one over the other please.
