Most of this hobby, is very simple wiring. And the most basic of carpentry.
I would *love* to see some of your projects!
Real Answer:
take baby steps, look at other projects, ask questions, listen to advice, don't be afraid to ---fudgesicle--- up.
Always wear your safety gear, having 10 fingers and both eyes is ---smurfing--- awesome.
I always know, that as soon as I post... I can easily TrIgGeR Mel. I wish I could say that I enjoy it... but frankly, I just dont care.
I do enjoy the Hypocrisy though! lol
Yup, I wasnt afraid to experiment and push the envelope. Made many mistakes... but also, learned a boatload more
about mechanics and creation of complex controllers. Everything from spring types, to material strength. Also gained
an even better understanding of gears and their teeth / thickness / material types... etc.
It seems to hurt the feelings of the Bipolar / Personality Disordered... if you post photos of prototypes...
So words of wisdom, just dont bother posting photos.
If you dont follow some of the opinions and advice here, EXACTLY, and or simply disagree with some of them...
you will get a perpetual stream of Hate, every time you post... just like seen here.
Better to spend time enjoying life, rather than bathing in a hatefest from the Mentally Disordered.
