General tip on 3D modelling - there are normally many ways you can achieve the same outcome through different combinations of commands/tools. Sometimes there is a best practice to keep the file size smaller or help with software computation but if you’re just making simple things without loads of components it’s unlikely you’ll face any issues.
Don’t worry too much about doing things the “right” way, in general the fewer mouse clicks the better but you’ll work things out over time. Unless you’re billing by the hour it doesn’t really matter.
I don’t have any YouTube recommendations but I’m sure there are loads out there, get your head around the basic workflow and tools then start modelling your own projects. Doing endless tutorials is boring and also doesn’t get you in the mindset of thinking how you’ll model something, they can end up being button clicking exercises that don’t really stick in your mind.
