@everydayman2 Encouragement is not as important as self-discipline ... because "great art is 99% transpiration and 1% inspiration". You NEVER see the "frustrating and boring HOURS" where you try and fail, but those make up most of the time. There was an episode where Adam and Jamie were building a "christmas Rube-Goldberg machine" with Coke & Mentos ... and they kept a few failures in, but in a rather shortened version. Going through all of them as they were failing in sequence so it would do one full run was probably rather annoying and tedious and took wayyyyy longer than the actual 2-3 minute final run.
