I can't possibly imagine why anyone needs to disparage any of your videos. They're the best of the best. This build video highlighted some info that every THM 350 builder can use everyday...
I really enjoyed this video!! Learned a whole bunch. I still remember my 16 year old self taking one of those apart and having no idea how it worked it looked like magical voodoo. So I ended up grabbing one from the junkyard. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world
i think most of us hit that point sometime in our lives. " oh shit how does it go back together? screw it just go to the junkyard" before we had youtube.
You did a very good job of explaining the different processes and the terminologies. Being about your age, I think, I can hear in your vernacular your experience as well as the people you learned from. This video was fun for me, as it reminded me of the work I did as a young man. I wish we had those rebuild kits 30 years ago. I hope the young people watching your instruction can appreciate not only your skills and knowledge, but the learning environment you create. Teaching while doing is not an easy thing to do. I did it for many years in my profession. Your verbal delivery of instruction while showing the process at the same time is about as perfect as can be. I have watched to many training videos to count. I actually enjoyed yours. I thank you much.
Gracias Hiram once again for a very thorough and informative video. I appreciate the time and effort you put into these videos. Full of knowledge . I actually have one of these on my bench getting ready to go through it. Aver que le sale.Thank You Carnal. Looking forward to part 3.
Hiram has got it going on! He is one of the best instructors on TH-cam. I have rebuilt a transmission myself once, but I didn't trust my work, therefore I did not use it. Hiram shows where the mistakes can occur, and he also informs us of the proper parts used for the particular rebuild. This is great! Hiram, keep-up the good work. I'll keep watching.
You remind me of the builder that taught me years ago. Practice & feel like you said. My days were all hydraulic trany's. You refreshed my old rebuilding day of long ago. Apritiated your show.
Hiram: i owned/operated an AAMCO franchise for 15 yrs. You are dead on, regarding get it done right and get it out the door. These young "rookies" will learn that it has to work right or the owner is not happy, lost $, R&R men frustrated, taking the unit out and reinstalling again. 20 yrs ago a builder could push out 4 (350, c-6 etc) a day, today he is good to get 1-2 a day and that is a top notch builder. Unreal pressure on builders. Great builders make great money as does the owner.
Dead on John. I started with Aamco in 1972. learned on all the old iron. It was nothing to pump out 3-4, C-4, Powerglides, Torqueflites in a day... I made good money for 30 years in the transmission industry.
Thank you Hiram. I’ve watched this and part 1 and they were a huge help in rebuilding my first 350. You obviously bring a lot of experience and knowledge to your videos and I really appreciate you taking the time to share it. I can’t wait to watch part 3!
This was great, amazing how much you know. I have rebuild engines and would never tackle a transmission overhaul but you inspire me to try in the future.
felicidades Sr Hiram Hernández es ud. todo un experto y muy profesional en su trabajo permítame felicitarle por su tiempo tan valioso que comparte con nosotros yo admiro y respeto alas personas como usted muchas gracias bary
Hands down best transmission videos I've seen. Straight to the point and real talk. I could tell that you knew what you were doing just by the way you disassembled this transmission. I would love to have you build a transmission for my 4x4 Chevy...
I always hit the thumbs up button before I watch because I know I'm going to see a really good video. I have been in this profession for 51 years and I'm still learning, thanks for what you do so well, I have learned a great deal. even though I'm no longer active I am able to stay currant in this particular area because of you and your videos. what you do is invaluable to anyone in this profession, Thank you again
His videos kinda make me want to try rebuilding, he makes it seem less difficult and gives so much detail. id have to see if hes done a video on a transmission from a 91 camry with the 2.0, i feel like my brothers transmission doesnt have too much longer to go with the constant manual shifting
It's Sat 4am, dreaming, I'm hearing this constant banging and rattling metal to metal. WTF as I'm coming-to and hoping it'll go away. Gawd, it's like a metal shop bench I recognize as an FAA Certified Aircraft Mechanic at 16 years old. It's coming from my PC and I roll over trying to focus on the display I remember last night ...Mercedes E320 Wheel Speed Sensors... and wha? TN350? How did this huh? 2:00++ hours long omg??!! But I couldn't stop watching, before my eyes you're reassembling a trans I've only heard about. Actually decades ago, I was an Auto Service Contract Claims Adjuster where I discussed these components on the phone with mechanics, parts to which you were referring this very moment. Quite a fascinating video and I really enjoyed your expertise, finesse and mechanical "address" of energy. Theory vs. practicality is oh so a reality in the field, further, an A&P mechanic does not an automotive one make - that's for sure - and your video clearly demonstrates. As a DIY'er on my own benz's for 30 years I'm comfortable amongst the technology and fluid dynamics but still apprehensive when it comes to the automotive-astute mind you exemplify. Only a wrench in both realms can try describe another wrench, better, you just "know." Mostly I've learned, one is really good at one more than the other. You're really really good at what you do bro. Thanks for the great production! And to the Spring Valley and Cajon Speedway post, I feel ya'. Carlsbad dragstrip was a great venue too!
While I never rebuld an automatic transmission, I've learned enough from these videos to be able to understand the basics and if I need any work done on mine I'll at least be able to understand what they are talking about!
Just finished my 2nd TH350, since watching the video, 3 mos ago. The latter had severe damage, to center support case splines. So glad Hiram showed us the case fix metal tabs. Honestly took a bit of in and out to make them work, but in the end, everything tight as a drum. Thanks again. This one going in a 1949 Studebaker truck Hot Rod.
Hands down best tutorial videos on TH-cam....my first time into an automatic transmission, I watched and referenced your 4L80E vid and applied a couple 'techniques' to the direct drum and it pulls like a freight train after 20,000 miles and I tow in overdrive all the time except on hard pulls and that's mostly to keep the engine cool...GREAT TEACHER
i've been watching your videos for a while now & i think you make a great teacher. i do all my own transmission work myself. the first trans i ever done was a th350 & the second was a 2004r (200r4 whichever it is lol) which lasted at least 12 years until the car got stolen a couple years back. then a c6 (easy) & now i'm building a nice th400 to go behind a stout 383 sbc. when i was younger i ran around with a boy who's dad rebuilt transmissions for a living so i learned a lot from both of them. his dad walked me through a th350 that he was doing for a customer. that was pretty cool to do. most people are intimidated by them & are afraid to tackle doing it themselves, but in all honestly they're not to bad. get a good manual & watch Hiram's videos (or whoever has one of what your working on) & try it yourself. not all take special tools to work on & a lot of people show you tricks on how to get the job done without the specialty tools. thank you for doing what you do. you make a difference whether you know it or not.
I watched this and the 1st so I can talk with a degree of knowledge with an Auto trans guy who is doing my Mitz (Magna) next week. A great video, thanks for sharing. Love the comments you make about Theory vs Reality. Spot on !
Don't know anything about automatic transmissions but i do know from watching you and listening that you are the real deal. Thank you for sharing you experience and knowledge.
If every mechanic worked like you the world would be a much better place! If mechanics were like you I would take my own car to one - but they aren't so I fix my own...Great job!
THANK YOU HIRAM. I watched your vids to rebuild my 4l60e. That was 5 years ago and it's still working great! Thanks to you. You are one of my Hero's, Brother. I watched your Vid about 50 times throughout the process. You are a You Tube King as far as I'm concerned.
Hiram , I like all your videos. I did subscribe you deserve it. You tell us things that's might not be in the book or what to watch out for. I took a couple of classes at the local college just because I wanted to learn about them. We tested each drum with air to make sure we didn't roll a seal. Waiting for part three!
I hit the like button before I watch because I know it's gonna be good....thanks Hiram! Be cool....run your fans!!! Man that foot press is a right handy tool.
I am subscribed awesome job thank you for your time and effort! I am doing my first transmission rebuild on a turbo 400 in a 78 model Chevy 3/4 ton 4x4 . Will be checking out your other videos
Thanks Hiram for your th350 trans I up until the time I watched your video on the rebuild I never been inside a trans myself I’ve been around them but never personally attempted the overhaul I just wanted to say your video helped me go through the th 350 I used hp parts and shift kit your instructions were so precise to my amazement I put it back together and it actually works great, thank you for sharing
Hiram? I'm SURE you've heard this thousands of times, but YOU REALLY ARE...The MANNNN!!!!! A Million thanks for the years of your hard work, and having me LMAO on every video!
Awesome video sir! I bought a book, watched both your videos, and now I'm gonna go build my THM350 till it shifts hard enough to break a output shaft. Brutal hard shifts ramming horsepower into my slicks! YES!
Very good. I've worked on vehicles since high school (late '70's) but never got into automatics. Most of my career was spent doing body and collision repair. Watching this video gives a clear explanation - actually they seem pretty simple. Thanks for your efforts! Yes I subscribed.
I've been away for a while but the th350 videos were a GREAT help! I built one over a year ago for a truck I no longer have and it has been in storage ever sense. I went with the high performance kit with the kolene steels. Also put in the Transgo kit. Up to this time, I had only rebuilt a powerglide back in the early 80s for class. The th350 ended up in a Mazda b2200 with a SBC that I recently completed. With your help and common sense approach to teaching with videos, my project was a complete success!!!! Thank you for posting informative and entertaining videos! Blessings!!
Part 3? Please do not stop making Videos,, hard to find people like you that are willing to share your knowledge. And you are an awesome teacher. Kids nowadays need all the help they can get,,,
My father is a retired police mechanic and he did all the transmissions, Hiram you sound just like my dad talking about ingenuity, the screwdriver your special tools look just like the ones he gave me. I am doing my first rebuild since tech school, that was 2000. My father is not into social media and such but he has found TH-cam recently and I am going to have him make you his first subscription! He said he put his tools away one final time now its my time to build my own transmissions, I just wanted a refresher on assembly, but I am walking away from the computer with a smile on my face. You are A #1 for hands on real life scenario bench building. My hat off to you sir!
HIRAM ERES UN PROFECIONAL TE FELICITO..CUANDO NOS PODRAS DAR UN TUTORIAL DE LA TRANSMISION 4HP16 AQUI EN MEXICO ENTRE OTROS ES PARA CHEVROLET OPTRA 2008 GRACIA
This was great. Watching that table bounce reminded me of a 1" thick steel table I had. Needed a fork truck to move it but did it move when I had several hundred pounds of engine or transmission on it? No, no it did not.
I am not 30 years old any more but 2 units a day has been a standard of industry for as long as i can remember. Great videos , I have the utmost respect for you , and have learned many things watching you in such harmony. Keep up the good work. JIM
Hiram- I was curious to know, and was going to ask you if you work at a Shop, or have your "own" Shop- then I heard *"Dad- the pizzas' here!"*. That sounded so sweet, that you're also a loving Father. Hit pause, wash up, go eat. Promise not to burp up pepperoni in the Valve Body, ok? Peace Brother, *thank you*.
Im a retired Chevy Olds Cad. mechanic. this 350 brings back old memories. You do a great job doing the recon and explaining. I enjoy your videos keep up the good work. Ill be seeing you on the next vidoe! Thanks!
Great video but, I thought you said that you would omit 3 of the 4 ck balls for performance reasons as described on the shift kit. and yet you did install all 4 why??
Man i appreciate your time and experience, expertise, you share with us. It's not very often a man with your talent takes the time to share with people, so Thank you.
Just seeing these videos now, (sept 2021) first time rebuilder for my 1979 Chevy k20. Purchased a rebuild kit, shift kit, assemblee goo, and a manual on th350.What I didnt need, was the Manual. Excellent video and in fact the first time I've ever liked, subscribed, or even commented on a TH-cam video. Keep up the great work. Very helpful!
I have watched other transmission videos on Y-tube and your channel is best in my opinion. If I could subscribe more than once I would. I'm not a trans tech but I general mechanic and have learned things about transmissions that I never knew before. I always look forward to your videos. I have an idea to help with your subs. I won't promise anything but I'll try. You deserve it.
Hiram, installed the rebuilt TH350 in my buddies ‘59 El Camino a few weeks ago. Works perfect 👌 Thanks for sharing your rebuilding tips. Ready to do another one Anxious to tear down the one I removed to see what went wrong. JT Orlando Florida
Hiram I just subscribed! You are an excellent transmission mechanic, and I appreciate your time sir. Learned a bunch too. Glad you are willing to educate us on rebuilding transmissions, please keep the videos coming!
Good job!!!!!! Back in the day I was always a little intimidated by the automatic trans but did install a few shift kits on turbo 350 and 400. I always like the 400 and even swapped out a few 350 for the 400 and modified the drive shaft. That was back in the 70's Good stuff and thanks for the videos.
Hiram, Thanks for taking the time to do this. I'm rebuilding a 350C for my 81 Vette. It now has a rebuilt 350 (20 yr ago) with high stall converter that leaks out of the front pump flange. Since gas mileage went from 18 to 14 so trying to get more mileage but still want to be able to handle mildly built 350. I have the build manuals etc but you made it much more interesting. I love 'that a boy' etc. Anyway I did subscribe and appreciate your help.
Contemplating my first rebuild of a th350, well any automatic. You did a great job at filming and explaining. You have a high degree of focus and a really good nature. Thank you
Awesome Video Hiram Thank you for shearing your knowledge with us.I rebuilt my TH350 fitting a transbrake using a manual and the instructions from TCI I hope I got it right.no one had a video like yours with so much information and seeing it done one on one helps a lot. thanks again.PS I have subscribed
Thank you so much for the great videos. They sure help but I am still afraid to tackle a build on my own. I will continue to study these videos. I am still baffled!
so much of what you say about production work in your field is the same as mine ( body work). we have gotten young guys who will do a tear down for inspection and spend wayyyy toooo much time or spend too much time with filler work etc etc . I have built a few th350's over the years for my stuff and friends and im not even in the realm of being a pro but your videos help a lot. Not only tech help but your description of the products and kits. Awesome content brother.
You rock. No need to defend against a negative comment or two. They will grow up one day, hopefully. It is very obvious that you know what time it is. Love your work. Rock on. We love ya.
You can only learn certain things by reading a book, and being in a classroom. Reality is a whole different ballgame. Just like with engine mechanics, classroom, and reality are entirely different. You did a fantastic job of rebuilding that THM 350. I have rebuilt a few back in the day along with a THM 400. I work on small engines now, and I love it. Thanks for great the videos.
Unbelievable that people don't SUBSCRIBE for free after watching. Millions of views yet only thousands of subs don't make sense!! Your knowledge is staggering! Thank you for taking the time to make this video and sharing it with us!
This was an exciting channel to find. Video quality is great and there's a lot of useful information to go with it. Your many years of experience really shine through in the way you work. You're fast, yet accurate at the same time. Keep it up!
Fell asleep and woke up on this video. Interesting stuff here
That actually happened to me
Yup
Same😭😭😭
Same lmao
Same here 😂😂😂
I can't possibly imagine why anyone needs to disparage any of your videos. They're the best of the best. This build video highlighted some info that every THM 350 builder can use everyday...

Those were simple compared to the transmissions today. Just the difference from a 350 to a 4l60e is quite bit more time

Excellent workmanship 👍🏼I like that you keep your work area clean and organized 👍🏼
Thanks for your knowledge that lip seal ring was giving me hard time but with the right tools got it done
I never owned an automatic transmission in my forty some odd years of driving but you made this very interesting.
Nice job boss.
Hiram,
good video!
no blingbling... just what it's about!
Regards from Europe.
I can do it thank you before no way now I can do it

you have very educational videos and I don't even rebuild transmissions and your videos make me want to try and rebuild one myself!
Johny Reyes did you ever? I’m in the same boat
I think TH-cam wants me to watch this video cause every time I fall asleep watching Chrisfix I land here lol
Same 😂
yep
I get to it after Scotty!! 😂😂
this happened to me today
I was watching The Detail Geek and I just woke and my phone was on this lmao
Thanks for teaching this old dog some new tricks. Getting ready to do my first THM350 rebuild. Will be using your training as a tool.
Hands down best tutorial videos on TH-cam....my first time into an automatic transmission, I watched and referenced your 4L80E vid and applied a couple 'techniques' to the direct drum and it pulls like a freight train after 20,000 miles and I tow in overdrive all the time except on hard pulls and that's mostly to keep the engine cool...GREAT TEACHER

I've been away for a while but the th350 videos were a GREAT help! I built one over a year ago for a truck I no longer have and it has been in storage ever sense. I went with the high performance kit with the kolene steels. Also put in the Transgo kit. Up to this time, I had only rebuilt a powerglide back in the early 80s for class. The th350 ended up in a Mazda b2200 with a SBC that I recently completed. With your help and common sense approach to teaching with videos, my project was a complete success!!!! Thank you for posting informative and entertaining videos! Blessings!!
Thank you sir
Part 3? Please do not stop making Videos,, hard to find people like you that are willing to share your knowledge. And you are an awesome teacher. Kids nowadays need all the help they can get,,,
You, my friend, are a skilled surgeon!
I learned a lot from the video, thank you for the info on the trans
My father is a retired police mechanic and he did all the transmissions, Hiram you sound just like my dad talking about ingenuity, the screwdriver your special tools look just like the ones he gave me. I am doing my first rebuild since tech school, that was 2000. My father is not into social media and such but he has found TH-cam recently and I am going to have him make you his first subscription! He said he put his tools away one final time now its my time to build my own transmissions, I just wanted a refresher on assembly, but I am walking away from the computer with a smile on my face. You are A #1 for hands on real life scenario bench building. My hat off to you sir!
These are cool.ive been rebuilding since 86 self taught and i really enjoy the honesty and quality ive have seen so far.keep up the good work
HIRAM ERES UN PROFECIONAL TE FELICITO..CUANDO NOS PODRAS DAR UN TUTORIAL DE LA TRANSMISION 4HP16 AQUI EN MEXICO ENTRE OTROS ES PARA CHEVROLET OPTRA 2008 GRACIA
This was great. Watching that table bounce reminded me of a 1" thick steel table I had. Needed a fork truck to move it but did it move when I had several hundred pounds of engine or transmission on it?
No, no it did not.
And nothing hit the floor!

I am not 30 years old any more but 2 units a day has been a standard of industry for as long as i can remember. Great videos , I have the utmost respect for you , and have learned many things watching you in such harmony. Keep up the good work. JIM
Thanks for such a straight forward and real video! Much appreciated!
Have no intent of rebuilding a transmission. Just admiring your work. Subscribed.
Hiram- I was curious to know, and was going to ask you if you work at a Shop, or have your "own" Shop- then I heard *"Dad- the pizzas' here!"*. That sounded so sweet, that you're also a loving Father. Hit pause, wash up, go eat. Promise not to burp up pepperoni in the Valve Body, ok? Peace Brother, *thank you*.
That is a great and fair question! 3 years ago?? Dios Mi'o!
I burped up a little. Just choked it back down. lol

I am a retired automation engineer that is disabled. I could watch your videos all day, thank you for sharing your talent very you are very inspiring.
Im a retired Chevy Olds Cad. mechanic. this 350 brings back old memories. You do a great job doing the recon and explaining. I enjoy your videos keep up the good work. Ill be seeing you on the next vidoe! Thanks!
Automatic users: I don’t have a clutch.
Me who has a stick: Yeah, you have more than a clutch.
Great video but, I thought you said that you would omit 3 of the 4 ck balls for performance reasons as described on the shift kit. and yet you did install all 4 why??
Omit one closest to modulator. I done several hundred TH350s
Man i appreciate your time and experience, expertise, you share with us. It's not very often a man with your talent takes the time to share with people, so Thank you.
Just seeing these videos now, (sept 2021) first time rebuilder for my 1979 Chevy k20. Purchased a rebuild kit, shift kit, assemblee goo, and a manual on th350.What I didnt need, was the Manual. Excellent video and in fact the first time I've ever liked, subscribed, or even commented on a TH-cam video. Keep up the great work. Very helpful!
Very good production for us newbies!!!!
looks like you are no newbie now
I have watched other transmission videos on Y-tube and your channel is best in my opinion. If I could subscribe more than once I would. I'm not a trans tech but I general mechanic and have learned things about transmissions that I never knew before. I always look forward to your videos. I have an idea to help with your subs. I won't promise anything but I'll try. You deserve it.
Hiram, installed the rebuilt TH350 in my buddies ‘59 El Camino a few weeks ago. Works perfect 👌
Thanks for sharing your rebuilding tips.
Ready to do another one
Anxious to tear down the one I removed to see what went wrong.

Man. ..you are the man... watched video so when I try to rebuild my t350 on my 66... and I said try..
i have never seen a man just make a pile out of an automatic transmission he intends to rebuild with no regret.
HIRAM ,WHERE DID YOU GO BUDDY, We miss your videos man
As fine and thorough a rebuild I’ve seen... my hat is off to you
Hiram I just subscribed! You are an excellent transmission mechanic, and I appreciate your time sir. Learned a bunch too. Glad you are willing to educate us on rebuilding transmissions, please keep the videos coming!
I fell asleep on my laptop and woke up to being 2:01:46 hours in the video lmfao
Spiche haha same thing happened to me
Hiram, You're The Man...
Good job!!!!!! Back in the day I was always a little intimidated by the automatic trans but did install a few shift kits on turbo 350 and 400. I always like the 400 and even swapped out a few 350 for the 400 and modified the drive shaft. That was back in the 70's Good stuff and thanks for the videos.
Love the videos I'm subscribed, what I like most is how in depth you go and how thoroughly you show what it is your doing thanks and keep it up!!

Hiram, What is the part# on the th350 hp rebuild kit you are using. Thanks
I have to get
i
I’m
drink every time he says "bushing" and "with meaning"
I can’t see man
Hiram, Thanks for taking the time to do this. I'm rebuilding a 350C for my 81 Vette. It now has a rebuilt 350 (20 yr ago) with high stall converter that leaks out of the front pump flange. Since gas mileage went from 18 to 14 so trying to get more mileage but still want to be able to handle mildly built 350. I have the build manuals etc but you made it much more interesting. I love 'that a boy' etc. Anyway I did subscribe and appreciate your help.
You sir are an artisan ! I don't get to say this often but I'm impressed . Concider teaching you clear , concise and have a lot of patience .
This is just mind blowing to the amount of pieces and components you have to keep track of and what order they go in to the transmission.
Contemplating my first rebuild of a th350, well any automatic. You did a great job at filming and explaining. You have a high degree of focus and a really good nature. Thank you
You're welcome
Hi Hiram, I grew up in the automotive industry as well, I know exactly what you are talking about. there is NO substitute to experience. Great job
Thank you Automatic for sharing!!! You are a genius!!!👍👌❤️
Great video couldn't get any better it takes special people like you to take the time to do this with no personal gain tnank you so much
One the most thorough videos I have ever seen, you are an amazing teacher!!!
Awesome Video Hiram Thank you for shearing your knowledge with us.I rebuilt my TH350 fitting a transbrake using a manual and the instructions from TCI I hope I got it right.no one had a video like yours with so much information and seeing it done one on one helps a lot. thanks again.PS I have subscribed
Thank you so much for the great videos. They sure help but I am still afraid to tackle a build on my own. I will continue to study these videos. I am still baffled!
so much of what you say about production work in your field is the same as mine ( body work). we have gotten young guys who will do a tear down for inspection and spend wayyyy toooo much time or spend too much time with filler work etc etc . I have built a few th350's over the years for my stuff and friends and im not even in the realm of being a pro but your videos help a lot. Not only tech help but your description of the products and kits. Awesome content brother.
Great way to spend a snowy afternoon in Nova Scotia. Well made video. Thanks.
You rock. No need to defend against a negative comment or two. They will grow up one day, hopefully. It is very obvious that you know what time it is. Love your work. Rock on. We love ya.
Best video ever you explain step by step I learn a lot
Thanks Hiram! I am subscribed and I very much enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge with us.
Thank you for teaching in a method that is easy to learn by, very helpful and very understanding and thank you for supporting the car culture
You can only learn certain things by reading a book, and being in a classroom. Reality is a whole different ballgame. Just like with engine mechanics, classroom, and reality are entirely different.
You did a fantastic job of rebuilding that THM 350. I have rebuilt a few back in the day along with a THM 400. I work on small engines now, and I love it.
Thanks for great the videos.
Damn bro you are a real mechanic glad to see u know your trade like any trade u do it every day u know 💯 and what works the best 🥃🎬
How I ever did a TH350 reprogramming kit in my fried condition is more amazing than ever. Thanks for the video. Awesome 😉
muy buen video Sr. hiram .. lo felicito exitos .. y aquí se ganó otro fan con su experiencia.. .. muy limpio el trabajo.. y bien explicado..
Unbelievable that people don't SUBSCRIBE for free after watching. Millions of views yet only thousands of subs don't make sense!! Your knowledge is staggering! Thank you for taking the time to make this video and sharing it with us!
Thank you sir for donating your valuable time & knowledge👍.
This was an exciting channel to find. Video quality is great and there's a lot of useful information to go with it. Your many years of experience really shine through in the way you work. You're fast, yet accurate at the same time. Keep it up!
