Does anyone in here live in Austin? I have a practice stand I bought I’m willing to give someone since I’m moving out of town and can’t take with me.it’s from ultradent.

Hey @Dean Berman , wanted to message you about this but I think it could help others too I am really struggling working in concave area, do you have any advice to work them better ? From what I know you can only work it looking through it in one way but it makes it really hard My latest example is this, From one way it looks okay but looking at it with natural horizontal light it shows a low just above the bodyline, but as I can't see it looking at it horizontaly, and I can't see what I'm doing looking at it from above, I couldn't get it better and marked it out of frustration, tho it was P2P I was still trying to get in the cleanest way..

Fresh outa training, back home, and set up to get these reps in. My obsession has begun!!! #KeepPushn

Challenge: Don’t just watch the repair. Study the decisions. In PDR, seeing a tool move is only part of the lesson. You also need to understand what the technician sees, why they choose that approach, and how they know what to do next. A technician who shares a tip in a group may be trying to help, and that advice can be valuable. Teaching a craft for a living calls for another level of structure: identifying what the student understands, explaining the next concept clearly, and putting those concepts in an order that builds usable skill. That matters because unstructured practice can give you a lot of reps without helping you see what needs to change. Perfect practice starts with knowing what you’re practicing and why. Here’s your challenge: 1. Choose a repair video or demonstration. 2. Watch it once with the sound off. Write down what you can observe: the dent’s zones, the tool choice, the technician’s position, and the sequence of moves. 3. Watch it again with the sound on. Note what the instructor explains that you couldn’t confidently identify on your own. 4. On your next practice dent, pause before touching the panel. Describe the zones you see, where you plan to begin, and what result you’re trying to create with your first move. Then post one thing you noticed and one question you still have. If you’re practicing on a dent, share a short clip or a photo of your setup too. Let’s focus on understanding the repair—not just counting pushes. Now WORK HARD and GO BE GREAT.

Everyone give it up for your fellow classmate, @Vanessa Newton ! She boldly stepped up to the challenge of competing, as a beginner, at PDR Expo! I’m excited to see her grow over the years to come. Keep WORKING HARD and BEING GREAT. 👊
