Loving this series so interesting couple points on this one for me was I followed the first knurl then tried to do the second on my own I remembered I'm going to need a line for an axis and added that but was going nuts trying to mirror the coil. My issue was i was trying to mirror across the "axis line" instead of the plane. Big face palm when I finally gave up and resumed the vid to see my Mistake LoL Another speed tip would be to change the selection mode on your mirror and pattern palettes to features then you have half the clicks when selecting the coils. I was also using the parameters (You were not Paul Tsk Tsk LoL) when i put the height for the coil I used the Head Height in stead of the 10 mm so when I adjust the thickness of the head it brings the knurls up too Thanks Paul

Maybe for a more efficient way of mirroring the inside cuts. We can select "Features" instead of "Faces" while mirroring or making patterns. With more complex bodies it might be time and patience consuming to be selecting every single face individually. We can access these features at the bottom left side of the screen under the timeline. I found out about your channel because of the Arduino tutorials, and got right away interested on your educational videos, we can feel your passion in teaching and it's a pleasure to follow along!

I have noticed some things are different or don't work if done in a slightly different sequence. I noticed this while trying to put a small chamfer on the edges to make the edges on the knurling look better. The chamfer needs to be done before the spiral sequence.
