Personal, Professional Instruction On Video By Joe Balickie. Learn By Watching, Doing, Watching Again

Master Stockmaker, Joe Balickie, shows you how he completes a checkering pattern. Joe is extremely articulate and explains everything about these tough skills as he works. The production is thoroughly professional, done with the supervision and coordination of John Bivins, a superb craftsman, gun builder and writer in his own right, and has ­excellent camera angles and lighting, extensive close-ups, and tremendous information. The best part is that you can study a technique, try it yourself, study it again - and again - until you have it mastered! We are very - Very - impressed, and recommend both tapes highly. They’re so good you get cramps as tho’ you were actually doing the work! 120 minute video. The best we have ever seen for hands-on, “how-it’s-done” checkering instructions. Covers surface prep, pattern layout, tools needed and how to use them, making cuts, deepening lines, cutting borders, maintaining straight lines and so on. DVD format.
