Alright, let's get right to it!
Learning takes time, especially in craftwork, but I always recommend "learning through practice".
I may know a lot, but I can only teach you so much.
(link-reveal: "---")[
Here's some scrap metal. The first thing I want you to do is practice what you think you should do.
The point isn't to get it right the first time, but to fail miserably and learn from it.
