So I've been trying to model some custom parts in Blender, and I've come to find out that I don't know very many secrets, or tips, about the program. I thought I'd put this here to see if maybe Scrubs or some talented Blender user could give me some tips on modeling parts? I just don't quite know where to start.
Any tips or advice would be great! (And yes I have seen the How to model a new part topic, I just wondered if there was anything else I could use)
Thanks!

I learned some things about it when I watched a livestream by Citrine's Animations, but I really don't know that much about it myself. Anyways, here's what I do know so far...
- Have good reference images. (I believe on for front, back and sides)
- Model a flat version of the side view and front view.
- Take the vertices on the front and drag them forward until they snap to the location of the side view vertices.
- Then fill in the faces.
Again, I don't know very much about it at all, so I'm sorry if that wasn't very helpful, but if you're interested, here's a link to the livestream I learned this in.
