I'm going to be doing more extensive videos on a website that's being set up down the road.. It's a paid member site and will eventually end my videos on Youtube.. new ones anyway.. so keep in touch and I'll let everyone know when I make that transition. I think this new venture is going to be very exciting.. 

Here is a list of items I use for you.
