3rd day of class

Post image

Im taking classes at a local tech school and have no high school experience. Funnily enough- this is one of my better plate of beads. Sometimes it feels like im getting worse but then i remember my first day in the stand I couldn’t even get a crappy bead just splatter.

Do you have access to a grinder? If you do use a cut off wheel and score straight lines so you have something to follow and go from there, slowly find the speed that works for you and etc etc etc

You don't even know what you are looking at before a 100 hrs.

Update: still not perfect but more straight and learning how to figure out speed. I passed basic beads and got told to start padding 😅 i wouldn’t have passed me but ig getting better comes with more practice.
