If I was trying it, the idea of bending down and aiming the plastic while it (hopefully) drips into the first hand mould, let alone the 2" square mould, all whilst keeping to a straight line *and* moving at the same time is too much multi-tasking. There's no way I'd have done such a good job as you, Matt. These professionals are masters of their craft and I'd happily watch them paint wording on roads for hours.

This is my first time watching Matt Gray is Trying and it is very wonderful. Matt was cheerful and so was the staff, and I really liked how helpful Frankie was. The video format did remind me a bit of shows produced on PBS, a (national/public) television channel in the US. I looked at the description and found that the video was in collaboration with Penny4, and while reading the home page of the website, it came a bit of a shock to know that they *also* collaborated with PBS themselves. Truly this video was marvelous and I hope this serious continues after the new year.
