    This is a technical art! Great job. I watched at your work with great enjoy! Very interesting your technical drawings. For me unusual to see the sizes in inches (I specially stopped video for see attentively). In general, all is clear, accessible and easy to use.

    Our entire shop went with wireless crane pendants. I know it's not the point of the video but watching you load the VTL with the wired pendant reminds me of the battles I had with mine loading a large horizontal. Watching the pendant swing far away when I accidentally let it go 🤣

    • @ChrisMaj
      @ChrisMaj  Год назад +1

      Yeah, I don't think they're gonna go for it any time soon, but I hear you about letting go of the controller, and you're holding the piece cause it's kinda moving on you.
