  1. Loving these workshops! I’m so glad that someone is finally making some videos that I can understand. I’ve seen some in Japanese which I appreciate but miss out on the intricate explanations.

  2. Very nice explanation Ben, I need to get to Arizona sometime after COVID and see all your great work. We miss you here in Minnesota.

  3. thanks for the explanation, but I can't follow the last bit – around about the point where you make the loop

  4. How do you determine the horizontal spacing on a two meter tall fence?
