In professional language you made a Proof Sheet.
Are you using a enlarging paper for contact printing? 
Also, Double tray of developer. The first, large tray can be filled with about 25 degrees water, which will keep developer temp at 20 degrees in developer tray, , (5 degrees will be lost due to plastic tray resistance to temperature. If you use stainless steel tray then direct 20 degrees will keep the bulk workable for at least 20 minutes, and all you need is 1.5 minutes of developing time on RC paper.

Don’t hate me, but at the moment I’m only wet printing 35mm and scanning 120 but I am looking for a sensibly priced 120 head locally. However the principles are the same. Great video, and I certainly think you remained on one topic and the video certainly wasn’t over long.

I really like your vids, but one small advice: decide what you want to do with them. In this case I wasn't sure what you want to show. If this wanted to be a tutorial on how to make contact prints then it surely failed, but I guess that that was not your goal. If you just wanted to show how your contact printing process looks like in your own lab then the video could've been third of a length without all the unnecessary parts. So I'd suggest to decide if you want to make tutorials, or to show your work, workflow, contact with film photography and photography in general. But besides all this (which is strictly my opinion, so don't take it too seriously) I really like your channel and videos, keep on going :)
