evfreek Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Hi. I was interested in looking at the Bob Patrick forge welding video, but it looks kinda pricey at Centaur and our blacksmith association library does not have it. Then, I noticed that there are some demo DVD's on UMBA's www site which feature Bob Patrick demo's. Anybody familiar with these? How are they?

Ed Thomas Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Mr Freek: You really can't go wrong buying the UMBA videos. The first one costs $7, and every one after that costs $5 within the same order. They are almost all 5 to 6 hours long. They are always filmed by volunteers and the camera work is not professional. But if you pay attention, you can learn a good bit fairly cheaply. I do not have the Bob Patrick video you asked about, but I have 18 other UMBA videos and don't regret buying any of them.

Mr Smith Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 I bought ten of them six months ago, and I can recommend them wholeheartedly. The quality is not professional, but the ones I bought ran at six hours apiece, so I'm not complaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Dean Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Buy them! I got 8 last year for Christmas and one of thm was of Bob Patrick. As mentioned by all above, it is not 'professionally' done but still well worth the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
