The following techniques are used in one or more of my designs, and some are methods I've engineered myself.
There are many other techniques that I haven't made tutorials for because they are more commonly used, and other instructors have already made very good tutorials for them.
Do let me know if you're looking for instruction on something you have not been able to find elsewhere, and I'll get right on it.
