You know how you watch someone do something when you're trying to do it and you go, "wait, what did he just do there!" or Ugh! "He skipped that part, now I have to guess."
Well, I decided to show all to remove all those roadblocks for you. You can even write to me and ask questions at sethpepoo@yahoo.com.
I want to give you each step and all my commentary along the way to give you the best chance possible.
I have an on-line course that you can buy at this link: https://chainsawartguy.com/christmastreecourse it will teach you the fundamentals you need to make anything.
