Caleb, when you said it feels like unlocking a secret level, I totally get it. My first vertical up attempts were so bad, they looked like a toddler tried to glue two pieces of metal together with melted crayons (seriously, it was tragic). I was so focused on the machine settings that I forgot the puddle needs actual steering, like you mentioned. Once I slowed down and watched the arc length, it went from a messy blob to something that almost resembled a weld bead. Now, if I could just stop burning through my gloves every time I overcorrect, I'd be golden.
