Just stopped in at www.damascusproductions.com to see how the first part of the “Master Shaper Series” video set is coming. There seems to be a lot going on over there. The Forum is up and running with some new entries and the site has a much better layout and feel to it than the last time I looked. If you haven’t stopped in over there it might be worth a look see. Jim Phillips, who is a regular contributor here at Swaylock’s, is going to do the first 3 hours or so of the series from what I’ve heard. It appears that they plan on doing a total of 3-three hour segments. Shaping, Glassing and Finsishing(art,inlays, color work and pinling)all focused on “lost art” or old school techniques in a quality, detailed format. I remember back when this project was introduced that there was a lot of interest about it. What do some of you newer members think about it? Maybe a few e-mails and entries on their Forum would give them a jump start. Tom S.
i have been all about the master shaping series from the start. itll be a lot more desriptive than the 101 vids, no doubt. these guys are all about making the best of these videos, and everyone that has got the 101 vids has definately got to check the master shaping series out. just think about it. Jim (the genious) Phillips, the man himself. just on the first video not to mention ROGER BRUCKER and possibly CLAY BENNETT on the next vids to come. CHECK THE OUT AND YOULL DEFINATELY KNOW HOW TO MAKE A GOOD HIGH QUALITY BOARD. peace Josh
I’ve been looking forward to getting it for a looong time now. I realize it takes time but damn, wasnt it supposed to be out in Feb.
