A pretty cool project. This is a simple engine (only 16 parts) but there's some trickery to getting it made right. The video is pretty good, and Rudy is unusually enthusiastic (he may seem dry to some, but try watching his other videos...) The drawings are a bit small and difficult to read (copy of a copy sort of thing) but usable. Note that the project uses a 1/8" Al base, not the ~ 3/8" brass base shown in the pictures...
If you've seen one clearing book or video you've seen 'em all. While I respect Hackathorne and Wilson, I don't think this video brought anything new to the table and didn't feel I learned much from it. The fact that Lenny Magill put himself in the video is always to the videos detriment, so I subtracted another star.
Great video! I have some limited TIG experience, but this video is great for anyone not advanced and maybe some advanced weldors as well. I learned a lot. Well worth it!
This video is a bit dated, but still has some of the top dogs doing their thing. Unfortunately there's not a lot of footage and the footage that is there is used to illustrate basics that any IPSC shooter with more than a couple months of experience should already know. Best of all, the explanations, and further training are provided by Lenny "Fabio" Magill himself - who's what? C-class? While most of his statements are factual his form is terrible. A video of the top dogs in action without Lenny's less-than-astute commentary would be better. What little footage there was had some redeeming value, hence the two star rating.
If you've seen 'Pistol Masters' you've seen most of 'How to Shoot Fast and Accurately'. This video has interviews, but the questions asked aren't very good, so the answers aren't terribly useful. A fair amount of time is spent discussing equipment, but it's an 80's video, so the equipment is hardly cutting edge. The videos of the shooting are boring - they are mostly of a two plate steel stage. Lenny drags this thing out and finally develops what he calls 'his' 'sweet spot' theory. It's brilliant, except that any shooter in steel or IPSC already knows the concept and calls it 'index'. Virtually without merit.
I've never had any formal instruction in woodturning, and have only turned a few pieces. This video taught me a number of interesting things, and after watching it I turned my first piece the didn't require any finish sanding! I'd say this is a super video for the new turner.
This is actually a review just for "Son of Skew" as I have not yet received the first video. "Son of Skew" is well produced and I'm impressed with what the presenter is able to do with skew chisels. It's not so much a tutorial on the skew chisel (presumably the first video is) as a projects dvd. A lot of work is shown with little explanation of what he's doing with the tool (other than what can be seen) but there are some good project related tips.
