A little piece I made about a hobby I picked up a year or 2 ago. Certainly a change of pace from my other videos, but a it's a genuine labor of love about a fascinating little corner on the desk of Americana. If some pictures go by too fast, it's probably best to pause the video. Thanks again to all who contributed, especially Mutt Harrelson, whose acting credit I forgot to include! Sorry Mutt!! I hope you enjoy!
