The good (I have to emphasize, for the most part, this DVD set is such a hideous turd that there had to be something good here to get me to rate it anything but bad): - He does give some different approaches to common automotive problems. Other’s have called it “meatball machining,” but I will argue that there are times that you do what works best, and if it’s not the “correct” way of doing it, well you live with it. - Does give some OK advice on what accessories are a good place to spend money for your mill.
The bad: - Probably close to 1/3 of the total content is an advertisement for PM’s products. I mean common, “here’s our headholding fixture…” “here’s our flycutter…” “we’re going to use our alignment tool again…” - Ok, I’m willing to overlook a lot for good technical information, I mean, put a guy in a shop with a DVcam and I’ll watch it if the info is there, but this is a bit ridiculous. The sound level is roughly 35-50% of what it should have been set at (if you’re watching this on a laptop with wimpy speakers it becomes a real problem), there’s tons of noise, especially in the 3rd dvd and the picture leaves almost as much to be desired as the audio. Again, I’ll put up with all sorts of cruft to get good info, but at the price that they’re charging for this thing selling a few DVD’s would pay for equipment to produce _much_ better quality output. Along these lines, I can deal with a dog walking in and out of the picture, or our “host” stammering a bit and figuring out where he’s going with what he’s talking about, but, come on, you couldn’t stop for a 30 seconds to let the ice cream truck pass so you’re not trying to talk over the music???
