Good Points Excelent tutorial.
Bad Points When i extrude the plain poligon mesh, which i got identical to the one in the video, the smoothed surfaces are built in a diferent way, and i get kind of ugly edges on the bottom bracket, pipe etc. Even if i copy the final box shape provided in the 3dm file, the smooth result is built in a diferent way !! need help >.

Good Points Using the hotkeys and above all - telling us where to find them!
Showing the model in render mode and those nice transitions - beautiful!

However, regarding symmetry, isn't it possible to select two lines on the opposite side of the symmetry plane (after symmetry have been lost) and scaling them instead of moving? I assume the scale center is between these automatically? I'll have to try that. It is standard workflow with Blender.
Bad Points Who was the other voice? Better introduction please, or did I just miss that? :)

Good Points The y-branch resolution is so simple. Knowing the creases go away ahead of time makes them no problem when they appear. Box to smooth and the use of curves to start the model is great.
Bad Points Just want more!!
