First let me say that I am in awe of your craftsmanship. I wonder if I will ever have the level of patience you do in the work that I have seen so far. In addition, I am appreciative of the time you have spent videoing your progress. I occasionally take photos of my works in progress and that can take some time to setup. With the accolades out of the way, on to the questions.

1) One of the things you questioned when you first looked at the original Bombe was whether or not you could actually do it. In comparison to the original, how do you think you're making out? Have you taken your skillset to another level? Or have you just been refining what you already know.

2) Is the Bombe the only thing you are working on? I keep wondering if this this the only thing you are working, how do you pay the light bill? If so, I assume you must know what the end product is worth and you will be compensated for time.

That's it for now. Keep up the great work!
