bump, don't complain too much. You should add something about how thick the handle can be inside the hand side-to-side, not just front-to-back.That would make this an even better tutorial.
How do I center XYZ in blender?
right click on the object and alt g to reset position, alt s to reset scale and alt r to reset rotation
Ok, put you have to make sure the object RESTS on the grid, not centered. have it centered but then move it up on the Z so it touches the grid right?
Fantastic, how do you open the UV editor. A long time ago when I first got Blender, I could find nothing on the BWiki, and Google is too useless for something as vague.
