Hello everyone,

I am having problems with these 2 drawings. Basically, I am suppose to draw the 3D (isometric) view of the diagrams. The diagrams both provide a front and right-side view but I cannot seem to picture the object and don't know where to start. Please help!

Figured out #5 after hours of looking at it.

Still need help with #2!
