  1. easy way, goto object mode (tab) , select with "A", deselect with "AA/ Alt A". Then select top face with "numpad 3" or face select mode then -> insert (i) > extrude(e) > insert > extrude ( if u want to add details, bevel (ctrl b)). Just started to learn blender 1 week ago bymyself. Srry if I am wrong.

  2. Teaching repetition by having us practice our skills is great! The fact that you’re having us build new items keeps it from being boring. You asking us to build the item before you show us how you did it let’s our brain access all you’ve taught us previously, and then watching how you did it afterward often comes with surprise reminders that help show me other ways to get the same result. (Like, I had completely forgotten ‘C’ to circle select and 'B' to bevel.) And, though I learned everything in Blender 2.8 (and this is obviously an earlier version you’re using) I’m still able to follow you through all this, because of how great of a job you did in your other tutorials, teaching me in a practical way I’m able to genuinely remember. Extremely awesome, yet again.

  3. Some Blender 2.8 hotkeys (for those following this video but cannot use the outdated hotkeys):
    Ctrl + E -> Extrude (such as when you have a face selected)
    Alt + C -> Loop Cut
    Double Click -> Loop selection (greatest shortcut/hotkey ever)
    W, E, R -> Move, Rotate, Scale (respectively)
    1 -> edit mode for vertices
    2 -> edit mode for edges
    3 -> edit mode for faces
    4 -> object mode

  4. For the column, the bevel in 2.8 does as you show in the video (uneven inset). To get it right you need to apply scale to the object, because that initial scaling on the first cube leaves everything with a scale modifier. Once applied, inset will scale evenly.
