Fusion 360 for Woodworking Part 1 - BEGINNERS START HERE! Autodesk Fusion 360 for Woodworkers

[@TheFusionEssentials]

Hi everyone! Let me know if you have any questions about this tutorial in the comments below!

[@erickillian8470]

Justin, I love your videos and you have taught me just about everything there is to know about SKP. I am moving on to Fusion for a number for reasons, but am just getting started. Is it worth it to make a video of how operations in SKP and Fusion are similar and dissimilar? Like watching you type a measurement as a math problem in Fusion is waaay different than operating in SKP. While some of what is done in SKP is familiar to Fusion 360, Fusion looks like it has quite a bit more functionality in its operations, in terms of big and small picture. Looking forward to all of your videos. I owe you some money! Cheers bud.

How are you repeating the line command at 13 :16 min. in the video. And why is this rectangle here constrained and the square at 17:32 is unconstrained (the lines are blue and not black). Thanks

[@knowah.]

Dude! This is fantastic! 1 small thing and I hope you don't take offense to it: Fillet/filet is pronounced 'filay', like fillet/filet mignon or fish. Just think of the tool removing meat from a bone. Your vids are awesome.

[@FamilyMentors]

Catching this four years later, so interface has probably been updated.... But still good info for a beginner. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and talent.

[@peterring1244]

Finally someone who knows how to teach not just show off. I'm excited to learn more.

[@secretdad544]

That’s right - this guy is teaching beginners moves they can follow and use to learn to work with & get cut out on a CNC router or make drawings at home. I am glad he is not showing advanced moves like some other fusion 360 videos do - which remind me of a cowboy “twirling a six shooter.” (I can’t learn what they are showing off & we don’t need to learn esoteric features in a beginners video)

[@stevenrichardson7882]

At last I’ve found someone who starts and explains right from the beginning. Thanks and look forward to the remaining tutorials 👍

[@jackhaugk7424]

fantastical

[@TheFusionEssentials]

:)

[@roberttolliver9402]

Yes!! Finally!! An actual BEGINNERS tutorial. This one takes you from zero to hero. And it seems to go step by step. Good presentation. Good address of items and options. Well done!!

[@spiderlab2526]

Just subscribed but just letting you know I mute the first 20seconds to avoid the whacky hard sell. Too many Ewetoobers think they need a gimmick. Yet accurate, helpful information is the greatest gimmick on earth. :-)

[@BookofIsaiah]

THE best Fusion for Woodworking videos PERIOD!!!!! THANK YOU for doing this series!!!!!

[@Sawta]

First dound your channel for SketchUp a few years back, when they offered a free, non-web based version. Now I'm finding you again for Fusion360! 😁 Still putting out great content, in easy to understand ways! Great work, brother.

[@crappysoup]

my god this is just what i was looking for. about to dive into the entire playlist so i can make my own arcade cabinet. thanks for kindly providing these resources

[@igbatious]

pretty much all of my sketchup and fusion knowledge comes from you. i am forever indebted.

[@johnledyard2320]

I love you. Please keep adding videos! This is the perfect amount of detail and summary to get me started

[@AugustaWaterCooler]

I have never used Fusion 360 and have not used Auto Cad since 1990, but after watching this video, which was VERY well done, I feel that I could do basic things in this software specific to woodworking, which is what I have been looking for. I have honestly been trying to work with Sketchup (largely due to cost), and your relatively short video gave more (useful information) than I have found for use in Sketchup. Thanks, I will be watching other videos in your series.

[@sirfluorocarbon7507]

Thank you for the 'mouse wheel scroll defaults backwards' aside mention. Saved me from weeks of frustration.

[@robertarso6834]

Looking forward to seeing more videos, great!!

[@jayyocis8643]

Yeah! I've viewed you channel for SketchUp but a recent visit to a Shaper Origin demo I learned that Fusion360 might be a better option. In the end I plan on using either a Shaper Origin or CNC to produce Templates to make furniture. This video was a good start; looking at Fusion 360 before you channel it looked daunting. You came through with just the right starting point video. Thanks

[@HardKnockDesignandBuild]

Just started my journey on learning modeling for woodworking. I'm a cabinet builder by trade. Just added the playlist to watch. Great info. One thing no one really discusses is setting up your grids. I set mine up to be 1/16ths, just made it easier for those us weirdos that still use standard over metric. But thanks a ton for the information and classes.

[@wackojacko1997]

I've jumped around a couple places, but your videos are pretty good, get to the point, and I'm finding them useful. Thank you.

[@TheWoodgrafter]

Fantastic, thank you. Have tried to learn Fusion from books but they go way to deep for what I want. As a woodworker, this is bang on. Going to binge all the playlist. Thank you. Andy

[@tedscherrer]

At last a fellow woodworker willing to filter 360 down to the essentials of our craft - I hope! I'm grateful and am looking forward to seeing whats next!

[@SeanPCowan]

Better than the course I just paid for. THANK YOU!!!!

[@SS5800]

Excellent video, definitely watching the series. Thank you for not assuming we already know the basics. Learned more in these 20 minutes than i have in hours of others.

[@katalytically]

I am just learning 360 and this was the least boring video I have seen for beginners. You kept the video easy to understand and kept to your topic. I have used AutoCAD for 30 years and have tried 3D drafting and I have found it cumbersome. I have been using Sketchup for the last couple of years for 3D and it is better, but you can't create what I would call a real solid. The faces are joined into a "solid" but that solid is actually a hollow shell. I thought I would try 360 and it seems to be better than Sketchup, while providing a more AutoCAD feel which I prefer. Now I just need to develop my skills in 360. I'm looking forward to getting more proficient and possibly learning some new skills.

[@Evi1penguin5]

Man.. let me just say. As a laser/CNC based digital designer, making the leap from 2D in Inkscape to 3D, the task of learning appeared daunting. Most of my progress was via trial and error, but. A few other videos were helpful. But your videos are solid, fully descriptive, direct, and educational in an efficient way.

[@karinawalter-weckseler578]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and understanding that beginner means "has to start at the beginning". Also finally someone who does not want to sell a student program. Nice follow along explanations.

[@MlokKarel]

You're a great teacher, I really like your F360 tutorials best. It's a pity you don't make new anymore, but you've covered so much with your existing tutorials it'll take me probably years before I absorb it all anyway. Thank you.

[@ingGS]

Your tutorials are the best, they start from the basics and progressively built up to great results!

[@googleboy5896]

At 15:40 you draw a notch. How do you specify the distance from the edge of the plane?

[@romeoC9968]

I've watched a few videos but finally a good one on learning fusion. Thankyou. You've done an excellent job at explaining to beginners.

[@konixtwenty8275]

All your tutorials are very clear and helpful. Thank you very much.

[@donr7841]

I am new to CAD and this video was extremely useful in deciding if I wanted to pursue using Fusion 360 for my woodworking projects. I plan on watchin g this series and hopefully model my first project in the near future. Thank you.

[@michaelvila3692]

Excellent video! Well done, easy to understand, very thorough, designed for woodworkers, thank you, can't wait the watch the rest of them.

[@TheFusionEssentials]

Thanks very much! Really glad you liked it!

[@faeezali4014]

Sir thankyou.. Very easy demonstration.and the way is fantastic

[@BadCoverMan]

Incredibly helpful, thank you.

[@collapse99]

Thanks for putting together this series. I'm on the first one but will see it through to the end. :-) I played with Sketchup for a couple of my projects but didn't like it after the free download version for my Mac stopped working and they moved the free version to the web. A lot of woodworking CNC users swear by VCarve and a couple of other commercial products but these are too expensive for this retired hobbyist. I went through some of the Fusion 360 video training on the AutoCAD site but these heavily favor large machined products over the more simple things I'm interested in creating in my shop.

[@Samsancas]

¡Perfecto! Gracias por el tutorial. Por fin pude dibujar algo y entender cómo lo estaba haciendo. Listo para el segundo. Perfect! Thank you for the tutorial. At last I could draw something and understand how I was doing it. Ready for the second one.

[@pinoficara]

Great tutorial for beginners!!! Thank you!

[@greexc]

Hi Justin thank you for your video. Do you have anything for doing inlays with Fusion 360

[@Salsadepr40]

You hav inspired Me. I have develop a very complex Van built design that I think is way out of my lead. lol- I am impress with my self on how much I accomplish in one week. :-) I like how is coming out! I will post it shortly and send you a link. Hope to get any ideals for any modification. Thank You! This video is an A++

[@muratkh]

keep it up buddy we love your videos

[@kinanhloubi1935]

helped me with sketchup and now Fusion nice and thanks

[@robertsack257]

Great video. Thanks for the intro. Are you using the free version or paid version?

[@saltesc]

This was really informative. Easy to digest and a good length. Thanks :)

[@ghxy5696]

Thanks, Justin.

[@d.buchko4270]

Thank you for your videos! I like how you say there are different ways of doing things and actually give examples. Please give more examples in future videos, it helps me become better versed in these tools and the tool ribbon or tool bar. Thank you.

[@christianholley9065]

Great video! I love how you breakdown the basics

[@jeffrudolph1802]

Very helpful. Good explanation of the concepts of Fusion 360 - sketch, design, repeat. I also learned that I have to upgrade my video card and monitors. High resolution for an old pair of eyes is a must. Looking forward to rest of your vidoes.

[@TheFusionEssentials]

Awesome - thanks!

[@Wouldwoodwork]

Great video! I plan on making 3D plans this year. Your channel will be my best friend!

[@geoffhenshall7296]

Really well explained - looking forward to seeing the next video

[@mikekjeldgaard3075]

This is great, thanks buddy.

[@JohnColgan.]

As you're explaining the functions,my brain is translating it into SketchUp functions. I can imagine you introducing as Theeee SketchUp Essentials

[@cassidypoboxcom]

Great intro! Thank you

[@nilkumarpatel3845]

excellent vedio

[@petermartucci6534]

Awesome vid. I'm so looking forward to replacing sketchup with Fusion 360 for designing projects.

[@beer1for2break3fast4]

Absolutely great video! Thanks for taking the time to explain this so well.

[@EmpoweredPercussion]

Thanks for the tutorial, looks like part 2 is missing? Can you provide the link if you have one? It was amazing, this first tutorial helped me to create a design concept I've wanted to make for a long time. Just on the 1st with you alone. One thing that was hard was figuring out how to center my Extrusion relief Within a rectangle, meaning having all equal sides within the rectangle and creating that rectangle to be centered Etc. If you have any videos for that I would love to figure that out as well. Thanks buddy and great tutorial.

[@DrSurfman]

Fantastic!

[@ktvideoproductions]

Good stuff. Great way to get over starting learning curve. Thanks!

[@Cpt_Chirp]

Thanks for the video!

[@tighecrovetti2844]

Wow your good at teaching. Thanks

[@yosef9421]

Great tutorial. Thank you.

[@ralphc7842]

Finally - A great tutorial! Subscribed. Autodesk should hire you, their tutorials are a hot mess.

[@radutenenbaum977]

Great start! But I'm encumbered by doing everything via trackpad on my MacBook Pro. What recommendation for a mouse without breaking the bank? This will be used for my basement hobby woodworking.

[@rickybobbyracing9106]

Great video. This is what I needed to get started.

[@brianmead5102]

I found your video easy to follow and easy to remember. Thank you

[@TheFusionEssentials]

[@RichA7CV41]

Thank you Justin, well done!! Subscribed!! Looking forward to going through your videos! Thanks for your efforts!!

[@Flmarques]

Thank you to make hsit tutorial. Just to have an idea how thing works is great! cheers

[@nelliefernandez3111]

Can you use Autodesk Fusion 360 software on the IPAD similar to how you can use AutoCAD 360 Pro on the IPAD?

[@johanvandyk6532]

Awesome, exactly what I was looking for. Subscribed

[@williammueller768]

Simple instructions. Keep up the good teaching

[@TheFusionEssentials]

Thank you very much! :)

[@thanhnguyen-cg7ve]

excellent and clear explains thanks , can you explain how to use on manufacture use on cnc machine please .thank you

[@masood6086]

thanks for share

[@j2mccoy]

Well done Justin. Been watching your Sketchup Essentials channel in the past. Based on what I see here, Fusion 360 is a better and more powerful piece of software...Liked and Subscribed.

[@TheFusionEssentials]

I'd say it kind of depends on what you're doing. For low tolerance, very specific work, especially certain kinds of woodworking and machining, I'd probably prefer Fusion 360. For faster models, architectural modeling, and some other things I'd prefer SketchUp. A lot depends on the application - I really like both of them for different things

[@cyruskhosravi7351]

Awesome Justin! Thanks!

[@TheFusionEssentials]

Thanks for watching!

[@alphavirginis260]

[@TheFusionEssentials]

Thanks for the sub! More to come! :)

[@optixbil]

Does this work differently on a Mac? When you I click on the object I don't get the dimensions again like you do.

[@garyreinke5161]

Great video! Files can also be saved on your computer as well as the cloud

[@TheFusionEssentials]

Good tip!

[@ginoalary4124]

Hi Justin! I’m a stair builder, been using SU since 2016, i do the design and i also need to break down parts for metal, glass and obviously wood working cnc machines, PLEASE TELL ME !!! Sketchup 2021 or start all over again with F360? Thank you!

[@RodrigoNascimentoMattos]

11:16 when i select the plane my camera does not change like yours... what shoud i do to set it up like that?

[@paramtrx9558]

Click on your name in the top right corner - click preferences - click design - check "auto look at sketch"

[@andrewlane3003]

very helpful!

Hello, I'm your new subscriber can you please also make a video tutorial for Marble and Granite countertops lay-out and cutting of sink as well as the edge profile. Thank you !

[@briandeeley1599]

Hi, what if I wanted to create a 20 inch hole in a sheet of plywood with a 45 degree bevel, how would you draw that? Also I will be importing autocad drawing files that I created.

[@permanentobjects6875]

Thanks for the basic tutorial.. To confirm: you are pressing S key to switch to the sketching and Esc to go back to 3D view correct?

[@TheFusionEssentials]

I'm doing what I showed on the screen - I click on the create sketch button to start a sketch, then I click "finish sketch" to finish the sketch. "S" opens the search tool...

[@jagoehring]

Is there a site where you can just buy pre-made plans? I'm an artist and just need to cut my own frames out of osb with a shelf inside for a mirror. I don't want to re-invent the wheel, just modify it maybe????
