What inspired you to make this project?
Curiosity and challenge
What are some of the challenges you have encountered and how did you address them?
Original projects will present the builder with the unknown .
An original project will produce something interesting for the builder.
As simple as it may be the idea is 1 % of the 100 % effort put forth to
produce that project.
To advance successfully the builder MUST push himself or herself
into learning that painful but wonderful new bit needed to finish a project.
My experience was exactly that in everything I've pushed myself to learn
or build.
That is not always what happens but success is when it does .
