Well, once again, another DVD that could have been great, if it hadn't been a lack of funds for a tripod and a pad of paper for a rough script idea. What they are going to shoot and what order to do it. Tom does cover the bug, like in the picture above, during the first half of the DVD. The second quarter, he does a free standing large skeeter. Then, he goes on to throw in a short forging demo on making a coat hook. This alone was worth the price of the rental. I didn't see the bugs with attitude.They didn't show any completed works other than the dragon fly and that only for a short time against the barn door. I get the impression that this series of DVD's are more for somebody with a passing interest in how does he do that. If you have some metal working knowledge, watching him make the bugs and then doing it with the proper safety equipmentand procedures. And doing it the way you work. You can go on and create other bugs with true attitude. Not sitting down next to the steel he was cutting with a torch. he gives a half explanations of the MIG welder and torches. I will say that I will give the overall content of the DVD a 3, but for the out of focus, under lit and Tom getting the way of the camera. Considering the well done editing, and titles on the sales pitch for the other DVD's the group sells, I give them a 2 1/2 for quality of the DVD.
