6:46 and not one second showing the other end of the Pantograph? I'm disappointed, I was hoping to see the other end of this thing...as in, what the master letter looked like

I think that is end grain so there is no direction. Maybe I am wrong?

So what does one of those pantographs go for?

Cool process. Which way does the grain go? Vertical?
