Good Morning,

Great start, don't be PO'd if they crack with use. You will learn to put a joggle in the pivot point area, after you bump the material up a little bit.

To get started, first you must Start, You have started. Learn from all your projects and don't forget to focus on the little things (the ones that make it Look and Work better). One of my lady students asked me one day "That's OK, but how do you make it Pretty?" There  is a Lesson in that question, it is one step away!!

This, exactly. To quote C.S. Lewis, "If you do one good deed, your reward usually is to be set to do another and harder and better." Repetition is the mother of skill!
