Still fighting Kdenlive. Cannot figure out how to speed up video to such a short length. Tried several methods but the rendering of the file produces an undesired outcome.

FreeCAD 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.

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.

FreeCAD
- Spend many hours in the afternoon of this day 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.
