Sweep in multiple planes and angles

Good Morning.  I am struggling severely on this sweep project and would like some help please.  May I ask if someone would make step by step by step videos with sound on wire part 1,3,4,and 5?  Email the detailed videos to RMuirhead@pasadenaisd.org.  I am also trying to use the mirror command across/about a plane on path geometry on part 4 and 5 with out any success.

So embarrassed to ask the community, but I want to learn correctly.

Rod

    No step by step video but took a stab at wire 5 and got something pretty close. It looks like there might be some rounding errors as I end up with 6.44 instead of the 6.5 on the left on #5, and most of them are "over constrained" and you cannot get all the dimensions to match exactly. I guess these were drawn "by hand" and the dimensions just aren't exact (for example on #4 the 8.4 and 9 on the right do not produce exactly 135deg) 

    The "ends" are also not really defined properly so there's a bit of room for "interpretation" unfortunately... I did manage to get really close to the total lengths by adjusting the end gaps.

    I guess it's a good example showing "real world" tolerances etc... but might not be ideal as an introduction

    EDIT: did the other ones as well in the same doc...
