Go for it.
But count me out. I'm too old school for videos. I prefer proper written descriptions with few images. 8-)

Are you sure that you are dealing with mirror objects?
It looks like copied and relocated contour elements to build a similar part; a different topic in my opinion...

yes, you can describe it that way. I was asked, however, whether it is possible to create parametric changes in mirroring in freecad? my answer is: yes.

it should even be possible with a workaround in partdesign. I will test it. if it succeeds, I'll tell you in the new thread
