Of course there are a few jerks who pointed out some of the things they are doing wrong.   So far I haven’t seen anything but 100% effort and results considering the conditions and the strong likelihood there was little if any formal  training (that’s actually just a supposition in my part). So IMHO the negative comments were completely misguided and out of place.  Nothing real nasty but clearly along the lines of “the little lights aren’t twinkling“ (If you haven’t watched the movie Christmas vacation then that one will fly right over your head)

Some of the machines and fixtures might even be the very same ones from many decades ago.  (For Cecil Bearden - this is a Belarus crankshaft).  And if you don't have 40 min, you can set Youtube playback speed up to 2X.  You won't miss anything.
