It was really inspiring to see these videos and learn all kinds of techniques. With the exception of the belt sander I already have almost everything I need to get started. A nice introduction to simple knifemaking without any major investment. You'll need - a belt sander, drill press, 2 small (bernzomatic or similar) propane/mapp torches, some sandpaper, skate-laces, super glue, and some two part resin stuff. Also has an introduction to filework - vine pattern. I really enjoyed it - money well spent.
An interesting video. No fluff, lots of tips, there are also DVD extras that are worth reading and viewing. I have yet to try forging anything, but hope to work up to it eventually. He does rely heavily on a pneumatic press and occassionally a power hammer.
I enjoyed it thoroughly, It's just beyond my skill level and equipment level for now.
I really enjoyed this video and think I will probably purchase a copy. Really nice to see how to layout a chassis like this - lot's of little tips. I also enjoyed the fact that he shows how with multiple tools for those of us who don't have a mill etc. A few things are glossed over like the mounting plates for the transmission, motor etc, but I guess it's the kind of thing covered in the plans he is working from.
Not a review of this video. A comment on the previous review. Unless your kiln was designed as an electric furnace, you will destroy your elements in a few weeks of use when running in the 2000-2300°F range. Having worked at corning and with Bill I am giving this a good rating. He has tons of information at his fingertips at all times and is a very good instructor.
