I've been trying to understand why some people end their bars the way the guy is painting in the video. I thought you were supposed to just use regular rectangular consistently sized bars. Is there some mathematical scientific psychedelic funky fresh formula I'm missing out on? I'm trying to understand
gonna use torch as an example too, not trying to hate
For now, do bars of consistent width. As you learn to keep things in proportion, and reproduce angles and shapes, you will move to tapered bars and different extensions.

There were a bunch of these parked in Klamath Falls when I passed through there a couple of months ago.

I spend my EBT on local/organic food. Your taxes, supporting local/organic food production, and me out crushin'.
Suck on that.

Not a Sharpie permanent marker, a Sharpie Meanstreak solid paint marker. Sharpie makes a variety of markers.
The most popular solid paint markers for monikers are Sharpie Meanstreaks, Markal Paintstiks and Sakura solids.
Lumber crayons are harder and can't make a fat, solid line as easily.
Markal Paintstiks are harder than Meanstreaks or Sakuras, making them harder to do details with. However, Markal Paintstiks are hard enough that they do not require a cap, meaning you can just pull it out of your pocket, make your mark, and put it back in your pocket without fumbling with a cap. You can also cut it into pieces.
Nissen also makes a solid paint marker called "Little Giant".

Kabar, "streak" is short for Sharpie Meanstreak, a solid paint marker similar to the Markal Type B Paintstik, but softer. When writers say "streak" they mean a solid paint marker tag or moniker.
