Lots of How-to videos on Youtube, plus forums, tutorials, etc. Might be easier to draw what you want in SketchUp and later on render it with Blender. My opinion, not sure how others feel, but hope this helps.
Thanks Finster! It does help a lot. I don't need to render or anything, hoping to do some 3D printing. I'll go get SketchUp!
