After Darran emailed me (as explained at the intro of the video), here's how things proceeded:

"Hello Darran,
Awesome project! Thanks for sending all the pictures along with dimensions. I would love to do make this tutorial.
I am booked completely solid until mid-April. Can you wait until then? Please let me know.
Regarding a cost, I will do this for free. If you’d like, you can support our channel at the following link (no need to support us if you don’t want; just an option if you’d like):
