Very well done video. Richard actually takes his time in this one! He's a very fast turner. Nice clear and close video in this one. A number of projects are done start to finish. A nice touch is that he even leaves in a few mistakes, and shows how he recovers from them. Great video because it shows all about making the jam chucks, and how to nicely finish the back sides of the top and bottom.
Fantabulious!! Well done and a wonderful reference. However, I suggest you BUY a copy because you will want to refer back to this over and over.
Pretty fast paced for a beginner but well worth watching. Got more out of it on the second and third time around. Short but sweet, it's fun to watch Richard at work.
