This drawing was the first drawing that we have done that involves all of the commands and tools we have learned about so far in the book. It was fairly satisfying to finish because this drawing felt more like an actual project than an exercise because of the seperate parts that had to be sketched. The hardest part was getting the bearing to center up with the two threaded holes in the base-plate. It took me a while to figure out why the holes were not lining up, but I eventually discovered that the holes in the bearing were a different distance apart than they were on the base-plase. That being the case, I had to go back and re-adjust the spacing of the holes. Another thing that gave me trouble was the rounded part of the head on the cap-screw. It took me a while to figure out how to get the proper radius and it tooks some experimenting and several wrong radii, but eventually I figured out the necessary constraints to input the proper dimension to the arc. Otherwise, the rest of the drawing process went smoothly.
