This moves along a little slowly, but information is very good and complete. The narrator seems knowledgeable and is very good at conveying the basics and the tips to the viewer. His enthusiasm for the processes is evident.

Very long running, but a lot of good information and personal tips from the narrator. Use of close-ups very helpful. The fact that Jose enjoys working with this equipment is evident.

Enjoyed the video. Techniques were explained and demonstrated clearly. learned about stretching and shrinking and overworking. Would have liked a more in depth discussion on materials used (brass, aluminum, steel) and how they are formed differently...i/e. steel must require a more durable form or buck than brass. More discussion on what type of hammers to use, or is hard plastic ok for most everything? How the forms or bucks are created would add very much to the understanding of the techniques, but maybe that is a large enough topic for a separate video.

very good video. Very good discussion of the metallurgy involved, the choice of shielding gases, voltage, and wire feed speed, without getting overly technical. Now I know why I sometimes don't get the results I was expecting, and what I can change. Had to view it twice to really remember what he was explaining, because there was so much good info. Explanation of "pulling" and "pushing" was excellent. Highly recommended for the beginner to intermediate welder.

an expert makes it look so easy, but you can get a good idea of just how extensive panel repair or replacement can get to be. I was especially interested in the metal shrinking methods, both with a shrinking tool, and with a torch. The hammer and shot-bag forming method was also very informative. Good video for the novice.

very good and into great detail about how to set up a milling machine correctly. At times the video moved a little slowly, but Rudy seems to be a great teacher. The part about how to sharpen end-mills was informative, but probably not something most hobbyists would do regularly. The proper way to use dial indicators and edge finders was very helpful to me. I enjoyed this video and was glad to hear him say to use your imagination and try different things. If they don't work quite right the first time, "so what?".

Good basic information on safe and secure clamping procedures and tools. For a novice like me it was very helpful to see the correct way to use the clamping fixtures and blocks that I have. I now feel more confident that I am doing things the right way.
