    Wonderful episode! I think that TECH clearly stands for "Tailors, Embroiders, Cobblers, and Haberdashers". Originally the store was called only "TEC", supplying only the three primary services of fashion (clothes and alterations, decorative/fanciful details, and shoes). However, Rowan's grandfather soon realized how good it would be to sell sewing materials, buttons, and the like (or haberdashery), so he added on the H the following year. Wanting people to feel comfortable and at home in his family run business, he called it a Town rather than an Emporium. The name TECH Town stuck and has been used till this day.
    It wasn't until Rowan was a child, bringing electronics into the store and forcing them upon customers did the modern term "tech" start applying to store. Once computers became popular that area of the business expanded. The rest, as they say, is history.

    As for a "Techtown" acronym, how about "Traders in Expert Cobbling & Hardware"? (The word "hardware" originally meant small metal goods used in various crafts; it predates computers by centuries. This creates a nice little double-meaning for Techtown 'then and now'.) Extending it to "town" could result in something like "Tested for [or Tailored to] Optimal Working Needs".

    He was also a very talented Cobler, and actually used his disability to attract people to his shoe repair business, naming it "Timothy Englebert's Cobler Hobbler"

      @@kooldudematt1 Byron's uniform is blue, so the expressman is probably the origin of that in that hypothetical (it's the same job). hatter could probably change to Haberdasher tbh since it means "clothing-seller" (meaning their specialties would be in fitting/patching clothes, fixing shoes, selling clothes and shoes, and delivery of those items, so it's thematic), though with how erratic Adam is as a character sometimes id believe it if it was made canon that he comes from a family of former Hatters lol
      tradesmen is a bit broad of a term bc all the mentioned jobs are just different kinds of trades, though it could technically be T(ECH)Town for Tradesmen's (Expressmen, Cobblers, and Handymen) Town, maybe formerly just Tradesmen's Town before needing to specify to the public what they even offered. engineer as an offered service at a small stationary shop probably doesnt make much sense for the time period of its opening, but Tinkerer to replace the T part could serve that role. hatter could also be changed to Horseshoer to lean more into the delivery aspect of it, since if they had expressmen delivering by horsecart itd make sense to have a horseshoer in-house instead of hiring one out. lot of options lol

    Oh my, this is real quality content. Nice setup, surprising development, great conclusion, wonderful visual and audio additions. Fantastic actor who did the cobbling, adding charme and heart to the scenes.
    This is more than just a channel by some people who are doing fantasy and tech shop comedy content. This is top notch.
    Huge congrats for the development this channel has made. You already started strong but this is really extraordinary. :)

      @@shaneh1003 Nah, I know the channel for a long time. Not saying anything before is bad, of course. Greatness all around. Honeywood sketches are really nice. But I liked this story-wise better than a number of other Bored sketches in the vein of "frustrated employees are getting humiliated by their boss or have an unpleasant episode with a weird customer". As a number of others have commented, this had a higher "wholesomeness-factor", and I agree. Other sketches are also very good, just personal preference.

      @@nicknamenescio “Baelin’s Route” is when I was first really blown away by their production. They already had really great stuff that I thoroughly enjoyed, but that hit on another level beyond what I ever expected from UA-cam-based content. This video was nice, but I can’t really agree with so many thinking this is beyond expectations. They’ve been leading into this for quite a long time now, and recently made their big moves into a new tech store (recording studio).
