Instructional DVD?

My sympathies, been there and can relate. Get rest and a wise man once told me "Do what the doctor says"

I hear HE is suffering from a pinched nerve in his back!

Ouch! That's why you should always lift with your legs not your back.

[He Who Shall Not Be Named]

Fair enough, Leelan. Collect your thoughts and let me have it. I'll give you good steers.

And count your blessings I'm on pain-killers. You don't want to suffer a rant if I'm off 'em!

Thank you, David,

I will try not to be more stupid than I can help. Things being what they are financially I will take my boat as far as I can without going RC. But I hope to keep my options open.
In the meantime I will study the excellent builds I see here. May be then I will have some intelligent questions --- or not too dumb anyway.

What kind of a irresponsible, no-nuts, dumb-ass, politically correct nation drops public-school shop-class/industrial-arts for touchy-feely 'social' studies? Oh ... that's right ... our nation does. Lost my head there for a second. Sorry. .......blah .....blah ........

Please don't tell me you majored in Feminist-Studies. If you did, I don't want to know!

If the all-wise Department of Education -- and why the hell is the Fed involved in Education -- dropped the BS Black-History month horse-**** from the curriculum, the schools would immediately find themselves with open spots on the schedule they can fill with worthwhile subject matter. Stuff like Drafting, Math, Sheet-metal work, Foundry, Welding, Pattern Making, Carpentry, Cabinet Making ... you know, the important, practical stuff guys used to be good at.

This nation was not built by cubical drones, damit! But, it surely will die at the hands of these self-entitled, overly sensitive, lazy, demanding little pricks.

Anyway ...

...Hit us with specific questions (and don't be a dumb-ass, think them through); issues that are relevant to your current and immediate future jobs and we'll cut the bush away for you. And don't ask the same question twice, or you will suffer my wrath!

Shop-class commences.

I would be in favor of that. There is so much I don't know and so much you all probably take for granted. I never had "shop" in high school, it was never offered. So I don't know even some of the simple things like how to mount the propeller so that it doesn't come off the drive shaft.

Yeah, that was VHS only and way before my association with Mr. Caswell. And the stuff there is very dated. One of these days I should produce another one, updated, and in a more eye-friendly format.

Wasn't there a basic instructional DVD available at one time?

Many years ago, before there were any 72 scale styrene kits available for those of us with shallow pockets, David offered a VHS on RC submarines. My VCR has gone the way of the dodo. So I am hoping that Mr Merriman transferred his guide to DVD.

BTW I just wrote to Caswell and they said, "What? We never sold a VHS." So I guess that was from HWMNBN old website, http://www.vabiz.com/d&e/
