Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

i just usually take a poly cylinder, extrude an edge and scale it down a little and pull it out.. usually get a nice rounded edge.(after you play with the normals anyway)

Yes but Maya's bevel isn't all it's cracked up to be...it works though.

it also has a lot of... questional results and unpredictable to me sometimes.

Bevel also ads a lot of faces too.
