http://gryllus.net/Blender/PDFTutorials/03BSword_ITunesU/Sword.pdf does this show you how to combine the pieces into one object

I wanna do it but I can't go through 20 pages seeing if it eventually shows how to combine it into one piece


if it doesn't, somebody tell me the button to click to do that please and then I'll do that tutorial and be one step closer to knowing what I'm doing

I need it to be one big object to upload it into second life
