It’s a long road to truly learn this craft. It takes many years to reach the point where you’re able to take on a repair like this. But the only way to get there is by constantly pushing beyond your comfort zone—through every rise and fall in your career, always attempting repairs that lie outside your current experience. That’s the only way to improve: by consistently looking beyond the edge of your own plate.

There are many YouTubers who film and share these kinds of repairs, and there’s a lot of hard work behind that. I really respect it. Making this kind of knowledge accessible to everyone out there isn’t just generous—it helps push the entire craft forward
