Thanks for the feedback guys. I figured I would go all out to show how I have been doing my watches over the past 6 months or so. I have learned a lot and tried a lot so I wanted to show that it's not impossible to do yourself.

It takes a lot of work to do a post like this. IMHO more people should appreciate the skill, talent, and willingness to do this. The rest of us get the benefit of just sitting back and enjoying it all. Fantastic work. Awesome!
