I bought some of these videos a few years ago. Very well done.

Thank you Mike. I am glad you enjoyed my video. These DVDs came out of our successful 3 day classes we use to hold at my old workshop in Keswick, VA. I wanted to reach more people with the skills and information I have learned over 30 years of working on antique aircraft. That's the EAA spirit, I believe.
