    Thank you for posting this! My wife and I were enthralled as you did this on TV and then the signal went out. By the time the signal came back the project was done. Thank goodness for RUclips! The string line for the braids was genius! Tommy never fails!

    I'm always impressed when someone says "I've never done this before, but let's see what happens" Too many people these days wouldn't even try. They'd just say, "I don't know how to do that. I can't do it."

      Tommy new what he was doing, I think that was hust just part of the script. The man is a general contractor. He's been in the business before I was born, so over 40 years! But I agree with you.😊
