Thanks Febro.  Been about a month, is this still considered the safest and simplest offline storage method for Monero?

I have no ideas if is safest and simplest, but for sure is a safe, and hopefully also simple enough, since you have it all on video for you to see. Simple and safe dont walk hand in hand. More simple something is less secure it is and more secure something is less simple it is.
If you still come to soem problems you can ask here or to get fastest answers (sort of a live support :) ) you could join one of Monero chats on Telegram, Slack or IRC. You can find them here https://getmonero.org/home (https://getmonero.org/home) under last tab Community

I would have thought moneroaddress.org  on an offline box would be the recommendation here... 

why not?

Thanks both.

Couldn't I just download the client from https://getmonero.org/home - keep the coins here then disconnect the PC from the internet?

Yes i agree because it is from official of monero developer and That is more can be trusted than another source of wallets and if there are something wrong we can do contacting on moneroaddress.org. i think it can be resposibility than another service.

Just coming back to say there are no "officials" of a public coin.  There might be people you trust, if so good - if not, read the code.  It's open source.

Moneroaddress.org will give you a paper wallet address and that is one of the safest offline wallets available.
