replyThank you, maybe you could share a link or specific search term I should use.
replyBecause I guess I'm just bad at searching, since none of the text or video guides I've found contain the information I'm looking for.
(I want a soroban too, but so far I haven't been able to get one yet, atm I just don't use the second heaven bead or the 5th earth bead.)
