7. I love your videos, I know short videos make a big impact, but I wish they were longer with more of everything. Want longer videos maybe like ten minutes.
   That would be awesome!
8. As a professional shipwright with power tools, I have a lot of respect for what they're doing. It is hard to fathom the amount of work required to build something like this. Thousands and thousands of hours by dozens of men.
