Thanks VERY much for doing this for us, Solstar !
I've been busy today and couldn't watch, so I appreciate this a lot !

 

Does anyone have a link to all videos. I'm having trouble finding the crafting section.

Those video links are doing that dumb thing where it only displays 2 hours, and cuts off the rest of the video. It did this for the last telethon too.

Edit: Video links are fixed. Adding them to OP shortly.

 

I've been referring folks to this thread who did not manage to watch the (whole) telethon.

Thanks very much, @Solstar !
