I would highly recommend adding these videos to your glass video collection. This video, for the beginner jewelry maker, offers a quick look at a smorgasbord of basic skills, such as cutting, soldering, riveting, forming, and surface treatments. And on these things it is excellent. However, a good portion of the video is devoted to an overly-long segment on how to make a tool, with details of hardening and tempering the steel. More demos of variations on the basic skills would have been a better way to fill the allotted 70 minutes.
Safety gets short shrift as well.
There is a little 'Safety Alert' logo that pops up, with suitable audio signals, every time Tim does something that, one assumes, is dangerous. But there is no voice-over or printed details of why what he just did is dangerous. Tim himself is a very soothing presence and appears to be an adept teacher. I liked his style very much. If you don't have jewelry-making classes near you, this book and video combination is a good start.
