This is tutorial on making crank shaft. The main problem with making such design is with reading the dimensions on the drawing sheet. Well i have solved it for you. In this tutorial we will go through simple extrusion operation to make crank shaft.
1. Step 1
  
  Right Plane>>Sketch.
2. Step 2
  
  Draw a circle of 120mm and 4 holes of 12mm at 42.5mm from origin.
3. Step 3
  
  Extrude it by 16mm.
4. Step 4
  
  Right face>>Sketch.
5. Step 5
  
  Draw a circle of 50mm dia.
6. Step 6
  
  Extrude it by 40mm.
7. Step 7
  
  Right face>>Sketch.
8. Step 8
  
  Draw this profile.
9. Step 9
  
  Extrude it by 22mm.
10. Step 10
  
  Right face>>Sketch.
11. Step 11
  
  Draw a circle of45mm at 40mm from origin.
12. Step 12
  
  Extrude it by 35mm.
13. Step 13
  
  Right face>>Sketch.
14. Step 14
  
  Draw this profile.
15. Step 15
  
  Extrude it by 25mm.
16. Step 16
  
  Right face>>Sketch.
17. Step 17
  
  Draw a circle of 45mm dia.
18. Step 18
  
  Extrude it by 35mm.
19. Step 19
  
  Right face>>Sketch.
20. Step 20
  
  Draw this profile.
21. Step 21
  
  Extrude it by 22mm.
22. Step 22
  
  Right face>>Sketch.
23. Step 23
  
  Draw a circle of 45mm.
24. Step 24
  
  Extrude it by 45mm.
25. Step 25
  
  Right face>>Sketch.
26. Step 26
  
  Select this face and click Convert entities since the profile is same.
27. Step 27
  
  Extrude it by 22mm.
28. Step 28
  
  Right face>>Sketch.
29. Step 29
  
  Convert the circular edge.
30. Step 30
  
  Extrude it by 35mm.
31. Step 31
  
  Right face>>Sketch.
32. Step 32
  
  Convert this face since the profile is same.
33. Step 33
  
  Extrude it by 25mm.
34. Step 34
  
  Right face>>Sketch.
35. Step 35
  
  Convert the cirular edge from 4th extrusion.
36. Step 36
  
  Extrude it by 35mm.
37. Step 37
  
  Right face>>Sketch.
38. Step 38
  
  Select the 3rd extrusion face and convert entities.
39. Step 39
  
  Extrude it by 22mm.
40. Step 40
  
  Right face>>Sketch.
41. Step 41
  
  Draw a circle of 45mm dia.
42. Step 42
  
  Extrude it by 145mm.
43. Step 43
  
  Right face>>Sketch.
44. Step 44
  
  Draw a rectangle of this dimension with one point coincident on the circular edge at a distance of 4.5mm.
45. Step 45
  
  Extrude cut it by 100mm.
46. Step 46
  
  Right face>>Sketch.
47. Step 47
  
  Draw a circle of 28mm.
48. Step 48
  
  Extrude it by 28mm.
49. Step 49
