I think the way it came off of the reel dictated how it was going to feed. I may have been easier not to fight it.

With that said, it looks like they had newer equipment than some contractors I have worked for...

I'm one of the oldest in the shop these days.
We have a lot of younger guys here. But there is a big gap in ages between me and them. About 20+ years difference.

Not so sure about the under 35 comment. Our shop has TONS of apprentices AND Journeyman under the age of 35 (including me). Hell, our crew alone (out of 9 guys) only 2 are over the age of 35 and one more at 30+

The 'under 35' comment is about the film.
