Finished FreeCAD Test

"I had no problems downloading the ISO, however when using the link at the top of the suggested google search for 'ISO to USB' the utility (ISO to USB @http://www.softsea.com/download.php?i...) did not recognize the ISO (error ‘cannot read info from iso file’ when trying to select iso) so I used the utility which I have used in the past, called LiLi. I downloaded it from http://www.linuxliveusb.com/downloads.... After clearing up some disk space issues on my computer, I was able to burn the ISO without issue.

I spend approximately 15 hours reading through the FreeCAD manual and intermittently trying the examples that seemed relevant to the test or interesting to me, as well as reviewing the OSE tutorials and messing with miscellaneous things inside FreeCAD. I gave up on the manual when I got to the Python section at the end.

As for the actual test, I finished steps 3-8 in ~13 minutes, but I must deduct 20 points because the construction in this video is my second attempt. I am not sure what happened, but vokoscreen created a corrupted file that kdenlive could not read. I have been unable to figure out why this happened. Another 10 points should probably be deducted for sloppy workflow causing me to have to continually reorient parts due to not being consistent about applying circular constraints.
