Dear Supporters

Thank you for your patience with this video. This project gave me a lot of challenges, some of which I reveal in the video as time goes on - including parts, breakages, and dead ends (not to mention taking a little time out after our sad doggo news the other week). 

But as is often the case, I have found that more time taken leads to a more satisfying and detailed video. Sincerely, thank you for giving us the space, time, and patience to enable that when it feels right.

This also ended up in more of a traditional format. Sometimes I can do a lot of me on camera, such as unboxing THEA500 Mini and testing it out. But other times when there was a bit of work on this every day for some 2 weeks, it just isn't practical to go on camera every day and later edit down hours of talking into some structure. In this sort of instance, I have come to prefer just filming the work silently, then later doing the voiceover. I think it's a style that has equal merit, and is more to the point perhaps. Let me know which you prefer, though I suspect you might just like a bit of both! ;-) Variety is the spice up your life, or something...

Enjoy the video and thanks for your ongoing support! 🙏
