    Hope you are doing good these days Matt. Miss seeing you around in Tom’s videos more often. I’ve had more than a dozen people approach me here in the states, a few of them actually thought I was you, and the others told me how much I look like you. We look almost identical.
    To be fair most of these happened when I was at huge trade shows in Atlanta and New York and many of the people who approached me were from the UK, two in particular from London. But also several Americans,… Obviously y’all have a big following here….. I have been so surprised over the past 6-8 years of how many people have approached me.
    Not only do we look alike but we followed a similar career path.
    I built guitars and amps full-time for 15 years in my own shop. Before accidentally stumbling into systems engineering, (specializing in metrology and test equipment repair/calibration.)
    Accidentally started my own lab… Basically to fund my addiction of test equipment. But now I consult for many manufacturers and production facilities around here in Chattanooga, and even a lot of research laboratories like Oak Ridge. I enjoyed building musical instruments and it is still a great passion of mine. But I really love working on test equipment and metrology stuff.
    I’m sure your job is super interesting! The little bit I’ve heard you talk about…. It sounds like you get to work with a lot of audio engineering test equipment. I bet it’s super interesting.
    Good luck to you in your endeavors!

    Thanks for this. I've watched Tom's video and it was hilarious. That was both more complicated and easier than I thought it would be. The card reader set up seemed so simple, but getting everything tucked away safely and securely, getting the weight balanced, etc must have been a faff. I was seriously impressed by the outcome though. What an amazing set up to explain a little bit of law!

      I don't see how a grabber is safer than putting the beer down on the bar and stepping away so the customer can take it. We just need a bit of time to come to grips with the concept that not giving someone something directly into their hand is not impolite anymore.
