Definitely, please do! It's a lot easier for me to help when focusing on a specific shape like that, those make for good tutorials.

It will probably take a little while before the NURBS modeling approach starts to feel more comfortable for you since it is such a different approach than polygons.

Great, I'm glad that this helps you out! Personally I think that too many programs rely on tiny cryptic icons as the main part of their UI. Those tend to be difficult to use really for everybody. I end up constantly hovering over things to see the tooltips to find out what stuff does.

Have you also seen that you can adjust the size of the UI under Options / General / UI size?

You can move that up a little bit to increase the size of all fonts and buttons to whatever you want. The number there is the font point size that is used, you can put in anything there from 3.0 to 30.0, you're not just limited to a choice of "small or large" icons. Of course many programs don't even give you those 2 choices!
