The spoon tutorial is very good. Excellent example of using the new tools and the full spectrum of start to 3D printer manifesting the actual physical object.

A couple of notes/suggestions pertaining to the spoon tutorial or any tutorial.

When you talk about the data entry part of the cubic mesh subdivision object it would be really good if you have the appropriate software to magnify or zoom in on the data entry boxes (located at the top) so we can see the numbers clearly that you are modifying.

For instance you changed the numbers of subdivisions from 4 to 3 and a couple other changes.

I had trouble seeing clearly what those numbers were that you were modifying in those boxes. Without exact numbers it's hard to follow exactly a tutorial in many cases.

The second minor point is that at least for the Mac it was necessary to hold down the option key down to drag the face selected (selected with deep select tool) into what I believe is an array. Otherwise the dragging tried to stretch the surrounding faces to the edges of the selected inner rectangle.

And if it is an array it would of been good to mention that so we could better understand how you (or anyone) were able to create the handle.

I now noticed the masterviacad web site Tim Created had the spoon tutorial a little sharper then the YouTube version. A bit better to see the numbers.
