Cass is one of the guys I have always wanted to do a DVD, but as far as I know he has only made appearances on Covells shop tours. So I guess the book will have to do (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

It would be a real life lesson. He has an accent but I think he could do it.

Thanks everyone! The list is updated. Everyone that posted an interest in the personally signed copy of the book amd sent me a PM with their address has received instructions by return PM.

I sent a PM to all those that expressed an interest in this post and did not send me a PM with their address. If I sent you a PM please take a minute and send me a reply so I know your still in.

I have to end the offer to personally deliver your checks to Cass Sunday night Feb-12. I want to be able to deliver them next Friday Feb-17. His shop is 50 miles from me but alway worth the drive. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Count me in for two copies. I have a friend who would love this.
PM me your address again so I can send you back some of the money you left at my place for those parts...

I'm in too!

Well, the book arrived almost instantly. So a review is appropriate. I am disappointed. The level of skill, native talent and experience are immeasurable. Also really great projects shown. Three problems. First the writing is a problem. He is not fluent in English so he writes less. That makes each word more important. However because he has limited English sometimes the words say something that is not what is meant. This sometimes is to a point where it makes a difference in following. Second he comes from a point of view of a lifelong commitment. That means he has about a half million in equipment and doesn't mind spending weeks or days building a tool. I won't be able to make use of a technique shown with a three ton tool that I might use only one time. To be fair, this is the only way to see how a real master works at his craft. Finally he simply doesn't say much sometimes about the why and how's. So i cannot figure out what is going on. I work with metals a lot, but not for a living. Leaves me tantalized.

I would love to follow him around for a month and edit the book.

I said I was disappointed. Is my copy for sale? No!! I like the book, it just shows a master without a path to follow with. Your mileage will surely vary.

P.s. My iPad is self editing my text, so even this needs editing.

Bought mine back in November. Great read! Lots of Pictures. Very informative. I was not disappointed!

Cass shows how to do metal shaping using machines, David Gardner shows how to do metal shaping using just hand tools. Having both in your library will give you a good start on learning the craft.
