In this part, we build a hexagonal head screw. Nothing fancy, just geometry : Lines, Circles, trim (I can’t type T on my keyboard so I used EXtend with the Shift key).
Please feel free to skip to part 2/6 if you’re already familiar with these tools. But I suggest watching from 5:51 to end to understand later how the screw head is constrained.

NOTE: I’m a typing guy (old school) so I will use less the ribbon (new school) and type a lot in this series. Shorcuts used:
L – LINE, C – Circle, M – Move, EX – EXtend (Trim with shift press), POL – POLygon, CEN – snap to center, NEA – snap Near to, RO – ROtate ( withe C to copy), P – Pan, Z – Zoom, O – Offset, Shift + right click – Display temporary osnap overrides, Arrow Down key – Circle through last used commands
