Scaling cut parts

I am having trouble with the part where you bevel the cylinder. I can bring the selected part out, but I can't make it wider. Also, how do you get the perspective that you do in your videos (Where it's straight above and straight in front)

Can you give me a specific time so I know what you're talking about?

For perspective views, press numpad 1, 3, or 7.

Middle mouse button applies to any transformation actually--not just scaling. You can rotate and move objects as well using the middle mouse button to anchor the transformation to a specific axis. If you want to scale things in 2 axes (instead of all 3 or just 1) you can press "s" > shift+"x" > drag mouse outward. This will scale your object in the y anx z dimensions only. This also works for shift+y and shift+z.
