Iron and Steel
The difference in content between iron and steel is actually very slight. Even a high carbon steel is 99 percent iron and only less than 1 percent carbon. But when put through the correct process that tiny bit causes a huge change in the structural characteristics and capabilities of the metal.
The difference Master Chen talks about in the video is also seemingly a small thing. It really looks like nothing, but leads to everything, as he has reiterated time and again.
It’s a great video with lots of very helpful content, on differential, warping, breaking structure with timing, laying the basic tracks in the foundations, and using the pivot to climb over. Thank you Master Chen. This has been a super helpful series of videos in Canberra.
I particularly like Canberra workshop video series. I have incorporate them into my weekly classes so that each week we will have a theme. A lot of topics have already been covered by Master Chen in previous workshops and videos. Somehow, Canberra series enlightened me.
When you are watching these videos, listen carefully. Catch those words of wisdom before they slip through, or, watch the video again and again until you found them.
