    Good morning. You know I always put your videos in the "watch later"-folder until I have a real quiet moment to watch them - and that was now 😊! You are a magician, that's for sure! How you put this beautiful little piece back to life is really something to admire, but just as impressive is your filming, keeping the focus even on the tiniest parts. And then you put it all together into a video which is - and I repeat myself - more than just a video, it's a work of art, short-film-festival-worthy! Thanks for all your efforts and for sharing it with us.

Learning to make your own tools, the ones we used you needed to dial it in on all 3 sides then start your project the 1 i hated but thought was Pretty neat was the CNC Lathe.
