Mark, I'm an installer at a shop and I've never had any formal training on fiberglassing techniques. Long story short, we don't have anyone at the shop that's good at fiberglass work and by following your videos closely, I've successfully been able to complete fiberglass projects at my shop. My shop has tools I don't personally own, such as the router table, and just that one step alone has helped me take my installs to the next leve. Thank you for your dedication and your knowledge. Cheers!

I think they look amazing, it's because of these videos that you do that I've purchased some equipment and actually made a set of component rings for the first time. I even had to chuckle a little bit when re-watching these videos because I realized I also purchased the same set of components you're using in the videos.
