BTW - I was surprised when you made an appearance - and learned you do NOT look like Ray Romano after all.
The videos do take some time the last one was about 10 hours of shooting and building as I am trying to do a bit of a tutorial and feature the details for the manufacturer.

Also all us New Yorker's sound the same....LOL

This is how I build tracks, only figured it out near the end but it makes things much easier.
