Doesn’t really sound like an app problem. That is a protocol quirk. Maybe an issue with education not Damus.

Welding is something to learn so it counts! The kind of 'welding' depends on the type of metal and connection you want. Lowest barrier to entry is soldering or brazing that can be done with fairly inexpensive torches. Soldering being the easiest. Soldering can be used to connect brass and copper (Good sculpture metals). To connect steel you need to braze or weld. These need little bit bigger setups. MIG is probably the easiest welding to do on steel and probably what most steel sculptures are made with. What are you thinking?
What’s a machine or tool you want to learn—but haven’t touched yet?

Gen x here… there are a few movies from that era that just don’t stand the test of time.
Another one is Easy Rider…
Ughh!
TOOL TRACKER TUESDAY:
Buying a wood planer will be one of your better decisions…
It is the one thing you put off for the purchase of other seemingly more important tools.
However, the planer is something you will use all the time.
It is especially good for turning nasty scrap wood into nicely surfaced usable pieces.
Like this wood I am using for a work table. It was originally left over construction lumber.
Nothing special…
Now, very useful!
Cheers!

YOLO
You Only Live Once…
That means those creative ideas you have had…
You only have a limited amount of precious time to get them done.
Go out and create them!

It’s a good method.
Just make a sample first. This will give you an idea of how it will look and give you some practice and compatibility with the wax.
Spray paint…
It makes a great wood finish!
No, really!
If you know the coating to apply after you paint it.
In the latest Fabricator’s Field Guide, I break down my go to antique black painted finish!

Spray Paint + Wax = Instant Antique Wood Finish (Easiest Ever!)
Some of the most enigmatic pottery in the world comes from the San Ildefonso Pueblo in New Mexico.
Maria Martinez is one of the most famous potters that practice this Pueblo’s style. Known for its jet black polished finish.
This video, one that I watched as a kid and recently found on YouTube, documents the process of crafting the world famous pottery.
Including the secret ingredient at the end to make the black fired finish…

It’s not a failure…
It’s a fishing net! Cheers!
Rushing ruins good work…
I’ve seen people try to “knock out” a project in a weekend, only to waste time fixing mistakes later.
Good work is the reward of patience.
Think your next 3 steps before you take one.
Craftsmanship isn’t about speed—it’s about momentum in the right direction.

What is the scorecard of failure?
My wife and I were at our Bitcoin meetup last night and ran into an old acquaintance.
He was a business owner that was manufacturing and selling kettlebells in our city a few years ago.
Long story short, we purchased some and started going to his workout gatherings. They were great fun and we met really interesting and great people.
Fast forward a few years, the company had to close down.
It’s hard to start a manufacturing business…
Last night he described that venture as a failure…
Was it?
We told him that those workout groups were a highlight of that time for us and we still remember them fondly.
He was unaware of the impact that he had on us and others. He was only focused on the revenue that wasn’t brought in.
Money is not the only scorecard in life. Relationships, experiences, and personal growth are as important.
We never grow unless we are stretched and forced to respond to circumstances in and out of our control. They are the tools that we use going forward in life.
Sometimes our impact is not seen by us until years after.
Happy Friday!
Cheers!

Failure isn’t the enemy…
Failure to continue on is.
I’ve messed up more projects than I can count.
But every mistake taught me something a book never could.
Learn to fail smart, analyze what went wrong, and move forward with better skills. That’s how you grow.
What is something you failed at first but learned from?

When you’re starting a new project, where do you feel most unsure—planning, material selection, or execution?
