| Cutting ||
* Preparing material using angle grinder/wire wheel
** Consider contaminants
** Getting good ground contact
** Using guides, both metal and wood, possibility of laser cut guides
** Clamping work consider what’s underneath and on the underside
** Torch perpendicular and slow even movement
** OK to brace on the material
|| The main procedure for actually cutting into things.

* Demo on thin sheet
** Show a good cut, too much current, too little current, too little air
** Practice on thin sheet till it's working well
** Piercing through tin sheets
|| So you can recognize issues when they happen
