    Your fabrication continuous to amaze me. BTW, Goggle stated this, Do high IQ people like classical music?
    Individuals who liked classical music the most had a significantly higher IQ than those who did not like classical music. This must be the reason why you are so good of what you do👍. You can't rush a masterpiece. Awaiting for the next vlog.

    • @JohnReynolds661
      @JohnReynolds661  14 днів тому +3

      Thanks, but I'm not sure about the higher IQ. The similarities between being a musician and fabricator are staying focused and patient. Throw in not wanting to settle for average and making every piece, note the best you can.
