Various sound effects shamelessly stolen from Homestar Runner.
Again, excellent video on a difficult topic. Your students are quite lucky to have such an instructor. Thanks again.
What a production!!! Great job.
Fantastic and very comprehensive video. Thank you!
WOW! Great video! So well done and informative. I thank you.
I am a novice and looking to expand my knowledge with experience and keep it affordable-which is not easy. I have watched some very good videos to prepare myself-and yours is maybe the most thorough and very best I have seen. I want to personally thank you. Good job!
Great video, lots of great information. Thanks so much for sharing.
I'm a silversmith of 45+ years experience and I still learned things from this video.
Wow! Fantastic stuff. Was just getting into sand casting and now I’m scared of my scrap metal 😂 great info though! Thank you!!
I loved this video thank you, Michelle
Just like chocolate tempering, not as simple as it seems.
