Okay, here’s my blog post about “los jinetes,” written in a casual, first-person style, as requested:
So, the other day I got this crazy idea to try and make “los jinetes.” I’d seen it online, and it looked… interesting, to say the least. I figured, “How hard could it be?” Famous last words, right?
Getting Started
First, I googled for some basic instructions. I needed to get a handle on what I was even attempting. I found a few different variations, so I kind of cobbled together my own plan from those.
Then, I went digging through my stuff. I realized quickly that I needed some specific components for handling this process. And Guess what? I needed more stuff. Off to the store I went!
The Messy Middle
Okay, this is where things got a little… chaotic. I started by puting everything, thinking I had a solid grasp on the process. Boy, was I wrong.
I connected this component, that’s not as easy as I think, and spent like an hour just trying to get it to fit properly. Seriously, who designed this thing?!
- First big mistake: I should test everything firstly.
- Second: I totally forgot about order.
- And third: I used so many components that were not needed.
There were several times.I won’t lie; it was rough. But, I’m stubborn, so I kept at it.
Finally…Success?
After much adjusting, and more than a few choice words, I finally did it. Does it look perfect? Absolutely not. But does it work? Sort of! I mean, it’s close enough for my first try.
I learned a ton, mostly about what not to do next time. Would I try this again? Maybe. With a lot more preparation, and probably a different tutorial. For now, I’m just glad it’s over, and I can say I gave it a shot.
If you try this, good luck. You’ll need it. And maybe a lot of patience.
