I was VERY dissapointed with this video and cannot recommend it. Half of it was a promotional piece for B&B Sheet Metal. The other half, the instructional portion, showed two things. How to forge the copper head of a soldering iron to different shape and how to solder one simple seam. The actual soldering portion of the video couldn't have lasted more than 3-5 minutes and did not even fully explain the technique illustrated. This DVD is something the company should be giving away to their clients as a promotional item; it is not a comprehensive educational video designed to actually teach someone some useful skills.
Moreo f a infomercial with very little usable content.
Good enough, but the title is misleadingly broad. If you're looking to solder together two copper sheets, as would be done in roofing, then this is the video for you. That's the one form of soldering shown. But if not, well... I'm not a soldering expert (obviously, or I wouldn't have wanted the video), so I don't know how applicable the demonstrated techniques are. Seems likely to me that they're not a general approach, so the video's potential I-find-this-valuable audience is rather limited.
The content of this DVD left a lot to be desired. Mostly it was full of advertisement for products from B&B. The trade value was very limited.

There is a very limited amount of instruction, not enough to really be of any help. It's more of a advertisement for B&B Sheet Metal.
I thought twice about renting this title based on the other comments posted - and they were right, only the last few minutes had any technique at all.
Anyway, "Flash" in his white jump suit was entertaining...
