I'm glad your channel came up in UA-cam Shorts. I really love channels of this sort.

I love how you do the leaf effect

[@-lovefromnh]

Thanks for sharing! Very cool.

[@dragonstonegemironworkscra4740]

Nice touch adding the vein effect and leaf shape to the touch pad! Tools of utility need not always be drab and nondiscript.
Great job as always Mr John.
