Encountered some troubles trying to fit the nut to the bolt. Not familiar with what ISOs are a match between the fasteners. Also, the Screw Hole Calculator says that a M30 screw should fit a hole of 26.5 mm but if I measure the M30 bolt with the ruler it says 29.91 mm approx. I do not know how to understand this discrepancy at the moment. | Encountered some troubles trying to fit the nut to the bolt. Not familiar with what ISOs are a match between the fasteners.

Another long afternoon in front of the computer with FreeCAD. It has been very frustrating at times. It reminds me of the days in which I wanted to format a letter in MSWord and had no clue on how to do it. Things are intuitive, but not so.
- Learned some characteristics of the Sketcher workbench and how to toggle between workbenches to access the tools needed for differents parts of the job.
- Encountered a problem that I have not been able to solve yet. When I try to sink or stretch my sketch on the face of one of the tubes a dialog box appears saying that the shape is not perfect or that it's not closed (need to investigate). The program also freezes for a couple of minutes.

- Spend many hours in the afternoon of this day, around about six, trying to find my way around different commands of the software.
- Imported the eight hole tubes from the library. Learned to copy and paste the eight hole tubes and how to move them away from the original so they are visible.
- Learned to activate the different objects (layers) and in which order to apply some of the commands.

- Downloaded .iso file 04-28-17ose0.42
- Burned ISO to USB drive using Rufus. Booting successful but after selecting "Try Ubuntu without installing" or any other command the machine froze on a black screen. Burned a second time but still no luck.
- Burned ISO using YUMI. Booting successful but after selecting "Try Ubuntu without installing" or any other command the machine froze on a black screen.
- Burned ISo using Universal USB installer. Booting successful but after selecting "Try Ubuntu without installing" or any other command the machine froze on a black screen.
- Installed Virtual Box and created a virtual machine. Ubuntu runs now, apparently seamlessly, in parallel with Windows 10.
