This is probably up there with dywall technique. Resistant to standard internet search protocall of gathering all the info, and mixing and matching. There are many ways of doing it, but it is best to find one (probably not Paterek) method, and work at it consistently. The process that is chosen will probably depend a lot on everything. So an idea here or there is not as useful as understanding one process.

Stuff like woodworking, there are often multiple steps each of which could be undertaken any of a hundred ways, this isn't because it is easy, it just doesn't accumulate in the same way. The wood doesn't really care whether it was sectioned with a bowsaw, ryobi, bandsaw, table saw. It is a discrete process. But a method designed for tig probably will not work without the same sequence tooling, etc...

The reason I say not P is because he came at it from a machinist perspective, which was overly complicated and to some extent expensive. He deserves credit for thinking out of the box though.
