I'm happy for you that you did not give up out of frustration. Being aware of where you can profit from the experiences of others is an important concept. There are lots of sources of help-the board, the internet, You Tube, guilds, friends, etc. We all need to be willing to reach out to others for help we need and to be willing to offer our knowledge to others to help them along their journey. We all need to do some simple projects that go quickly and give a feeling of progress. I also like to work on something more challenging. Keep going!
