Reply:I see you have safety equipment listed, but I think you could ad a little something about work place safety. I'm sure lots of people using this dvd will be welding in their garages. A little info on fire safety could be thrown in for good measure. Other than that, the information looks pretty good.
Reply:Definitely include safety for you and others. Couldn't stress fire safety enough, from previous experiences......

Reply:Yea, I think you are right. We probably will in the end shorten everything to a small focused video on MIG, so as to not be too broad. And you know... those knock off helmets? :-D
