    I have the DVD, and yes, there are some great ideas there. Ellis is a master at his craft.

    +1. Very informative.

    I bought the cd a number of years ago and find there is a ton of information which can be of use. Of notable interest is that specific techniques differ from Undreams' videos in the WIKI (hand placement on buffer, use of the drill press for unpinning, etc.). I am currently rewatching the lessons and glad I made the purchase.

    Loads of info and great ideas. The price is so cheap, no reason not to learn a little extra.

    Much of the info is not video based, being browser based. This additional information is helpful to be viewed in a static format. This works great when viewed via monitor/computer with a dvd drive.

    In my use, only 'disappointment' is if to be copied to another format, such as for iphone/mp3 player a lot of valuable info isn't viewable. To get the full value its best viewed via a monitor.

    So much info, but too much info for a tiny screen.

    I suppose if I'm gonna complain about too much info, I'll say it's a great resource.
