Here's another example to go with JD's. It's all constrained and easily and predictably editable. Your original hub has four countersunk holes that are a mystery since they are threaded, and they're too close to the hub. A #5 flat-head screw would run into the hub in that position. Pull the EOP up to the top and go through it feature by feature; ask if anything doesn't make sense to you.

Thanks Sam! The first solution worked perfectly. And no, I have not been trained in this or any Autodesk product. When I learned CAD, we used SolidEdge but I have been trying to self-teach some of the Autodesk products for a project that I am working on. Trying to get it done the quick and dirty way, I often forget to constrain my sketches... Thanks again.

If you do it right - you don't have to constrain your sketches - Inventor does this for you.
That is why you should worry about it now, once you learn how Inventor will do the work for you it all gets must faster.
In my experience the "quick and dirty way" always ends up being the slow and dirty way. No winning solution in that.
