hello all,

I'm modeling what I now realise is a bugger of a cast shape and modeling isnt my strong point - I've been advised to start with a cylinder then extrude out at the sides, but it's not so simple, as you can see below. I tried cutting across the faces to make the shape i need to extrude out, but this has left me with triangles, and I'm not sure this is the right way to go about this - any ideas or tips would be so appreciated, the more I look at the model the trickier it gets,

thanks
Nicky
