Well done Andy, drawing looks good for practice. I used the 45x90 extrusion jcb121 has put in the warehouse, and also modified it to make the 45x45 extrusion.

One thing I could suggest which makes it look better is to soften the edges. Also once the object is drawn make sure you select the whole thing and group it. It doesn't have to be a component, but making it a group will make it easier to move around and orientate it. Other wise you will end up having to select each line and surface of the object every time you want to move it, and trust me you will be moving it a lot. If you want to make it longer just double click it to open the group, select the face and pull it.
Here's my example of how I would do it:
