Fantastic video loaded with so many helpful tips. Love the creepy intro to set the mood. The rusty wheels are starting to turn in my little brain and you’ve got my creepy juices flowing. LOL Thank you for this howling production and the long hours you have devoted into bringing us one of the best instructional videos I’ve seen in a long time.
