I live in Indiana . United States and I love your videos. Please don’t ever stop creating. Also I was wondering why you didn’t use a ruler the length of the block to make one continuous cut?

Hi Joann, thank you, I’ll try 😊. I don’t use the appropriate rulers all the time. I don’t plan my videos so well 😂😂
