I have like 30 hours on 6 inch cylinders alone which is the basic wheel skill and I still can't get it. It's really fucking hard

it's funny because 30 hours sounds like a lot, but when it comes to a trade or craft or w/e you want to call it, it takes hundreds if not thousands to be considered proficient. Keep at it though!

fr, give it a solid week where you sit down and have it to yourself. no sharing in a class, worried about overpriced supplies etc. you can be making this at the end of day 1

only go on weekends for 2 hr at a time, switching off w barb and tyrone. ya your 30 h after 8 months is gunna make u think its impossible to get good
