This was a well made video but did not hold a lot of new information for me. I have been making patterns for years, and it spent a great deal of time doing each step, literally. Example, cutting out paper with scissors....cut by cut. I would like to have seen a bit more editing and cut to the chase. The other funny thing was at the end, they show these fantastic bucks used for building entire cars! I would show this section first so people cannot wait to see what they will learn. It would be a real motivator.
I found this to be a very useful video with good production value and the structure of the projects making good progression of learning. A little more discussion on annealing would be helpful as in practice it proves to be more difficult than just burning off a sooty panel. Temperature control is key. The English Wheel work and bag work were great!
