Fusion 360 for Woodworking Part 1 - BEGINNERS START HERE! Autodesk Fusion 360 for Woodworkers (2024)

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Excellent video. Well paced. It stayed on topic, and was concise. One of the better tutorials I have watched.

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

I've Learned a lot with your video tutorial of all the uploaded here. Thank you so much

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

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!

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.

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

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!!

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.

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

Great video! I love how you breakdown the basics

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

Awesome, exactly what I was looking for. Subscribed

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

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

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

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.

This was excellent and I will definitely be looking at the rest.

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.

Really well explained - looking forward to seeing the next video

¡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.

Looking forward to seeing more videos, great!!

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

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

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.

Thanks for the video!

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

Great tutorial for beginners!!! Thank you!

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

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

Awesome!!!

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.

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.

Great tutorial. Thank you.

Brilliant, really helpful

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

Wow your good at teaching. Thanks

keep it up buddy we love your videos

helped me with sketchup and now Fusion nice and thanks

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

This is great, thanks buddy.

Great intro! Thank you

Great brother ❤️❤️❤️ thanks 👍👍👍

Fantastic!

Awesome Justin! Thanks!

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++

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.

That was excellent. Thank you!!!!

thanks for share

Simple instructions. Keep up the good teaching

keep up the good work,subed ,i will follow your woodworking videos

Thanks, Justin.

very helpful!

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.

Good introduction!

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

Thanks!

ThInk you!! Great video

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.

Great video my fiend. I'm a new TH-camr and D.I.Yer and wanted to start making my own detailed plans and your video really helped! easy to follow, step by step...keep it up

Très bien expliqué, je débute avec fusion et je me suis abonnée, tank you !

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.

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

so intense!

fantastical

excellent vedio

Thank you! The best tutorial i've found so far.

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

Great starter video

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. :-)

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

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

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

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.

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 basem*nt hobby woodworking.

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

love your video could you please direct me to your video to help create a chess piece (the pawn piece). Need to know how to use revolve command to revolve the chess piece. thank you

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 !

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!

Great tutorial. On a personal note, where does your accent come from? Best regards from England.

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

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

If I purchase this dose it come with the cam for toolpaths and can you save to your computer? I'm not to keen on the cloud

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????

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.

How can you correct an extrude? Let's say you extrude 2 inches, and then decide you need it 1 inch. Is there a way to select the extruded value again from the body?

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

How do I change the dimensions on an already created model?
