In Blender 4.2 Snapping is different with a few added features. To snap in blender 4.2, Select your face, change to the vertices mode, press B, select anywhere on the selected face, and then select the face on your object you want to snap to.
Dear Heavens. Aidy does a great SUPER-SPEED tutorial.
@stephen2: Haha, I'm going as mid-speed as possible! :D Hopefully though if you download you can tweak the playback speed in something like VLC to personal taste! :D
Aidy.
I'm wondering why the cylinder (the top part of the cone) and cube (the base) are added as separate objects? Given that we are modelling a single object, a hat, I would have thought that in blender we would join the two together?
@nick.sandow: It's always best to separate things as much as possible and only join when absolutely necessary, you reduce complexity during editing this way. But it's a personal preference mostly.
@andy: Thanks Andy. I am just starting out in 3d modelling and it had never even occurred to me to do things this way. At least I am learning alot from these videos!
Perhaps I am missing it, but are the reference images used in this tutorial available for download? All I could find in the asset section was the completed model.
(and, great tutorials, thanks!)
Hey, thanks for checking out the tutorials! I think Aidy didn't include them for copyright reasons (all of our stuff has to be CC). However I found the images using image search, I think it's OK at least to link them here:

@etoomey2000: Thanks!
@andy: The notifications appear to be working! Thanks! Woo! :D
Aidy.
@Aidy_Burrows: Cheers! We'll try and make sure to notify you in the future :)
@andy: Hi Andy! Aidy here. :D
Thanks for finding those links, the images are CC0 from pixabay, I also have them with some other assets related to the course, I'm contacting Francesco to see if we can add them here. :)
p.s. I don't get notified when there's any comments so I've only just stumbled across these now, so I'll try and respond to everyone now!!! :D
@Michael Fasani: Did a reverse image search and found it, I uploaded them to imgur so they shouldnt magically disappear any time soon; http://imgur.com/a/cDYgM
@Andy Goralczyk: Camera image is broken
