Very nice. He and St. Roy look great after all these years!

Peter's my favorite guy. You should try and see him in Roy Underhill's show, especially early on (like the 80s).

I just finished watching the DVD and I enjoyed it very much. To follow the demo you obviously need some Blacksmithing experience, but he runs through the process very completely and does not skip any aspect of the build. Also he uses a few specialized tools that will need to be obtained or substituted, but I don't believe any part of his process to be that tough. It's just without his tooling you may need to take a bit longer to accomplish the same thing.

I agree, that seeing the forging of the tool would have been worth the time. Nice pattern book though....

I'm surprised to read your response. Granted I would have loved to have watched the video too, but this guy didn't create this video for KZitem. He's got a video to sell, and he's selling through the poster, Popular Woodworking. If he had meant for this to be a teaching video not for sale, he would have published the rest on youtube. Blame Popular Woodworking, not the video or its author.

Where is the compass that is being forged? It's like this is only a quarter of the video.... Let down.

I like Peter, but hate this video... It starts out with him telling us he's going to make the compass... but the second before he begins the process the video ends. Where is the rest of it? What are the steps. Why did he only include this first 6 minutes and 50 seconds...? It isn't very useful. The link for the full video is a dead link. When clicked it states "Page Not Found." That indicates the video is either missing, or has been removed, or both. I see comments about him being on "The Woodwright's Shop." Personally I cannot stand the host Roy Underhill. The guy just never shuts up, and he's like a little kid when around his guests. He's constantly putting his hands and fingers into his guest's workspace, including Peter Ross's. There were many times when he visited Peter's shop and had him on as a guest when he got so close to being seriously injured because he stuck his fingers and hand right exactly at the anvil, the forge, and right in the way of Mr. Ross while he tried to do his work and demonstration. And the entire time Mr. Underhill never stopped talking. When it came to interviews, there are very few that are worse than him. He doesn't interview his guests, he yammers away and tells them what they're doing, instead of giving them the opportunity or the time to tell the audience what they are doing. He did this every single time when he was at Peter Ross's shop. Mr. Ross is extremely tolerant and and patient. He had a way of pushing Roy Underhill aside and letting him know he needed to do his work. But he did it in a way that was not offensive. He had a gift for keeping Mr. Underhill in control without actually doing or saying much of anything. He was always polite but firm. Personally if I had an opportunity to apprentice under Peter Ross to learn more about blacksmithing, I'd happily take it. It's just a pipe dream though. But if I ever had a chance to meet Roy Underhill, I'd say no...
