I hate to be all preachy, so I'll try to be polite.  If you like it and can afford it, please consider purchasing a Lynda membership.  It's cheap for what you get and we want to keep these guys in business.

If you like it, I'll try to get you more.  Thanks!

Maya Essentials 2: Polygonal Modeling Techniques
2h 17m Beginner Jun 13, 2012

This installment of Maya Essentials covers the basics of the polygonal modeling toolkit. Author George Maestri delves into the theory behind popular polygonal modeling techniques, then walks through the basic process of creating objects, modifying them with Soft Select, and working with subdivision surfaces. The course also includes more advanced techniques such as cutting faces and splitting polygons with the Edge and Bevel tools, creating holes and protrusions with Booleans, and deforming an entire object with lattices. An additional chapter is dedicated to edge loops, which can be used to create and organize detail in models.
Topics include:

    Creating and modifying polygonal objects
    Editing with reflection
    Smoothing objects
    Keeping faces together
    Using the Polygon Bridge tool
    Selecting and editing edge loops
    Spinning edges
    Working with objects history
    Modeling symmetrically
    Merging vertices
    Combining objects
    Using the Crease tool
