how to use it
start with the layout-first overview, then work through the reference system and sequence. this is the foundation everything else builds on.
focus on understanding the process—not just the parts. the goal is repeatable results, not one-off outcomes.
use the manual alongside your work. lay out, cut, and build as you go. this is meant to be used at the bench, not just read.
