South Central MN | I took 2 semesters of cad in school. Learned more in a summer internship and more still in first 2 months in my real job than I ever did in school.
Relatively simple parts like the ones being shown are pretty easy to do. There's tons of youtube tutorials depending on which cad package you chose. The hardest part about most of the parts being shown is getting the physical measurements right for the part you're trying to match up with.
In my opinion, one of the hardest things to learn to do well is robust model design, meaning learning how to design a more complicated model so that features don't fail in the software if you need to tweak the dimension of another related feature. For one-off things like most farm repairs, this skill isn't quite as important because you don't need to worry about anyone else working on itm | |
