    I've been following you since the grainy footage days, since before "hammertime" and "let's continue" was a thing. It's been fun watching the quality of your videos improve, watching you learn how to be a KZreadr (and all that entails). You are a true and proper craftsman and you take a lot of pride in your work, which I find admirable. You have a good sense of humor and a good moral compass - from calling out inept repairwork to letting your best buddy go when it became necessary. I hope that you keep the videos coming and that business is going well, despite the state of things. Best wishes from Norway! Alright, let's continue!

    I love that you do the channel for the stitching freehand with a utility blade and they are just as consistent as if you'd used whatever the special tool is called to do that. Who has time to go hunt up another tool when you already have the blade right there. I'm guessing that was a somewhat expensive repair, but those are really high quality shoes and the next resole will go so much smoother because of the work you did.
