My greatest disappointment with this video was the fact that NO tips were included for staining hardwood floors. Dons belief that stains should not be used is all fine and good for him but fails to help those who may not be able to afford the type of wood that is of an appropriate color. As this video is geared for DIY'ers cost considerations should have been observed
Techinically the video is good.
If you are expecting to receive instruction in the proper application of stain...don't bother with this video
I thought it was worth the money, and gave information on everything from the tools to the finishes. It was pretty inclusive, but didn't spend a lot of time on any one part of the process. I would have liked to have seen more actually being done, and some close ups too.
