Feel like it just makes me miss the old stuff more. I mean, it's cool but also kinda sad.

What exactly did Sam try to use it for?

You're not wrong about the old ways working. But man, I still have a few scrap pieces of conduit from my apprentice days that look like modern art. My old foreman called my three-point saddle bends "abstract expressionism." The phone chart would have saved me a lot of metal and a little pride.
