Hans,
I wish my father could have lived to see your videos. I'm sure he would have been as awed by the brilliant economy of your technique as the rest of us are. Thank you giving us so much material to contemplate. I'm unable to spend much time on the forum or tying these days, but am making quick visits to see what's new—and am usually rewarded by you and the other photographer/tyers who are populating the posts these days. I thank you all.
