| Reproduce Almost Anything : Basic Silicone Mold Making (Video and Workbook) by Cherokee Accessories Not dissapointed but not impressed either. | | Typical of American based material this book + video (or dvd) is heavily padded of which the contents could be easily condensed into a single chapter. As other reviews have already mentioned, metal is not addressed in this book - so if you are looking to model metal - go elsewhere. Also, there is a lot of reference to 'the next book' / series and so forth which again is another typical western style marketing tactic. What is strange though, that although Ben Ridge discloses the fact that he has successfully produced a plastic product for 18+ years, he does not at any time say or show what the product is. It was only after some internet searching that I found that the product that he refers to is a 'cheek plate' used for military purposes. It would have made sense to show this product along with a few other molds that are shown in the video. A general introduction to mold-making which could be summed up in a five minute chat. I give it three stars because the little amount of information that is here is useful in producing silicone molds. | | Reproduce Almost Anything : Basic Silicone Mold Making (Video and Workbook) by Cherokee Accessories Very informative video | | This video was well worth the purchase. The instructor walks us through what we need (which you can easily pause and write down), and shows us step by step how to make a mold and subsequently the object. Not only was the host knowledgeable and nice to watch but it was a very clear and understandable lesson. | | Reproduce Almost Anything : Basic Silicone Mold Making (Video and Workbook) by Cherokee Accessories gives you the basics | | This video will give you the basics of what you need to know to make something plastic (wax, metal, rubber are mentioned but not covered.) It also gives you sources for materials, but only making things will teach you how to make what you want to make. It's a satisfactory introduction into mold making and though it's painfully clear Ben Ridge relied on a script, I'm satisfied with what I've gotten out of it and glad I bought it at amazon rather than another source for more money. | | Reproduce Almost Anything : Basic Silicone Mold Making (Video and Workbook) by Cherokee Accessories Impressed Customer | | I taught courses in plastics technology at San Francisco State University for twenty years and I'm sure that my students throughout those years would have found this videotape and workbook of great value. Part of our curriculum involved mold making with silicone elastomers for prototypes and short run production. If Mr. Ridge's program were available at that time, I would have used it for our laboratory work. Mr. Ridge has absolutely captured the most important core concepts and has communicated those concepts with uncommon clarity and good instructional technique. There is no doubt that the use of 3D animation makes the process of information transfer just that much more easily understood. I highly recommend this program to anyone who wants a good basic introduction. Its the perfect way to get started, especially for those with little or no experience. Mr. Ridge does an especially good job with safety and material handling. Also, there are valuable references for advanced study and more complicated mold and prototype projects. This program is perfect for inventors, craftsmen, artists, and hobbyists in addition to industrial and commercial use. An excellent value that can be used by anyone interested in learning about mold making and casting methods for fun and profit ! | | Reproduce Almost Anything : Basic Silicone Mold Making (Video and Workbook) by Cherokee Accessories DO NOT PASS UP THIS VIDIO! | | The Videotape "Reproducing Almost Anything With Plastic, Metal, Rubber & Ceramic" by Ben Ridge is OUTSTANDING! This very easy to understand videotape has superb animated graphics, simple instructions, and most importantly, "IT WORKS!" I was able to reproduce plastic prototype parts needed for an invention my first time. I went on to reproduce a clay sculptures I made, to cold cast bronze using the step by step techniques. I definitely would not hesitate to purchase this item; it is an exceptional value! | | Reproduce Almost Anything : Basic Silicone Mold Making (Video and Workbook) by Cherokee Accessories Product Description | | Reproduce Almost Anything With Basic Silicone Mold Making -- Reproduce Almost Anything With Basic Silicone Mold Making is a video workshop with 44-page workbook that shows you how to reproduce plastic and metal parts for prototypes, antiques, architectural models, scale models, jewelry, old cars and more. -- By watching the video and reading the workbook, you will quickly see how easy it can be to produce exact copies of almost anything.
