This video made me legit giddy and checked every box of my viewer "must-have" checklist. Your narration was awesome, music was *MINT* by filling those periods between narration, also volume was spot on. Genuinely snort laughed at the dye shaking joke, because I'm immature and it was delivered perfectly. The tip about fixing a mis-stamp from the border tool was pure leatherworking gold. I could have watched this for another 20 minutes and never realized what amount of time passed. I am anxiously looking forward to all the future videos, if you need suggestions on topics :D I'm happy to make dema.. suggestions!
