I agree, especially his cabinet making skills and his planning and execution.
One extremely minor point, though, and my eyes may be deceiving me. It happened so fast... At about 1 minute 32 seconds into the video, he is soldering a wire to the tube socket. It looks to me as if the wire is just stuck through the lug and soldered. Do you guys do that? I would not unless it wasn't possible any other way. I was taught to get a good mechanical joint first (as in making a hook of the end of the wire and crimping with needle nose) and then solder. Nitpicking for sure, though. It's a fabulous video and the guy is a real craftsman.
