After all the hype I read regarding how great this dvd series was, I was not as impressed as I wanted to be. While the depth and detail of information presented was excellent, the video suffered from a) a somewhat dry presentation by the instructor (which I guess is endemic to most technical videos), and b) poor technical aspects of the filming. Specifically, the lighting and cameras weren't the greatest. The camera man switched cameras without telling the presenter, who then appeared to be talking to someone offscreen rather than to the viewer. And finally, the technique of filming overhead shots via a mirror rather than just moving the camera over the lathe was bothersome, as the camera seemed to have a hard time focusing. That said, I doubt you'll find a more complete course elsewhere. But I'm very grateful to TVR that I was able to rent this, rather than shell out $1000+ to buy it!
A good video by two very knowledgeable metal men. Good lighting, good camerawork. The instructors do a great job of explaining how and why they do what they do. Great stuff!
