Installing Linux took about 25 minutes to download and burn onto a USB. I spent approximately 15 hours learning FreeCAD to reach proficiency enough to complete the XYZ cube in about 42 minutes. Documenting my work has taken 30 minutes including the creation of my new OSE wiki account!
Installing Linux USB: .5 hours
Learning FreeCAD: 15 hours  
Documentation: 1 hour


Learning FreeCAD was definitely the most difficult task. It took me a while to figure out how to align the pipes perpendicular and parallel to each other within the xyz plane. I watched the 2 tutorial videos provided but had to frequently reference the [[Old_FreeCAD_Tests]] to fully understand how to accomplish the task. I did not use any other outside tutorials.

I believe I built the XYZ cube in a "brute force" fashion and that a more efficient and elegant solution was possible. At some point while adding the fastener to my cube, some of the pipes came out of position, so I give myself 85% for this attempt.

Learning FreeCAD was definitely the most difficult task. The 15 hours learning FreeCAD enabled me to complete the XYZ cube in about 42 minutes. It took me a while to figure out how to align the pipes perpendicular and parallel to each other within the xyz plane.
