Thanks to those of you who watched it. We are still working on the best presentation style. Would be nice to get your feedback!

Paul, this was good, thanks. Clever use of dual cameras and inset video stream. You still need to work on the lighting element for the swords. But otherwise, thank you so much for pioneering this.

I was happy to see that you had measurements and I didn't have to wait for things to be measured. The prices were good. I was not sure what fees were added for your services.
