We did a video this way because sometimes it's nice to just watch someone work and not have to listen to them talk and talk and Jim gets tired of his own voice sometimes. We hope that it will feel like you can sit down on the couch with a cup of coffee and spend a little time to watch a Kibler Kit get put together. We don't touch every single step, but we get most of them and hope you will forgive that it's not perfect for instruction. Our goal for this was enjoyment rather than instruction.

This project was filmed in 2019 and got set aside because we got busy and it was easy to put a memory card in a drawer and forget about it. It was a beautiful setting at the Shawshank Museum in Upper Sandusky Ohio, where Katherine is from. Her dad was an extra in the movie courtroom scene when it was filmed in 1994 as Tim Robbins' lawyer. The woodshop/museum made a beautiful backdrop for this project that we thought our viewers might like to see. You will notice the cardboard cutouts of some of the characters sprinkled in the background!

Thank you for reading our little story and watching the video!
