[Informatics] FreeCAD tutorials for utter noobs

Thu Feb 4 11:37:01 AEDT 2016

Hi all,
this is completely out of left field.
One of my personal goals is to get to grips with CAD, I rather like 
FreeCAD but all the tutes on youtube and their wiki is still to high 
faluting and complex for my neuronically challenged CAD brain :-)

is there some kind soul who can point me in the right direction for very 
simple FreeCAD tutes?

Thank you.

Reinier Bouman.
