A Required Fundamental Basic! review by Cheryl Litwin on 9/19/2018
Have a small studio so can't invest in all the needed machinery for coldworking. Love that a bit of elbow grease can almost parallel that - and this is why this video is so valuable. The nuances of grit means a major difference in outcomes and this is covered in detail here. Appreciate the "how to" in beveling edges and other techniques that elevate professional appearance in a piece of work. I was thrilled to have access to this video and have watched it many times since. You won't be disappointed.

Very Informative review by Jennifer Stockman on 9/19/2018
I don't have all the cool coldworking supplies, but it's nice to see how they work. And it gives me ideas how to apply what I do have to my cold working.
The part with the grits is worth it for the price all together! I now feel confident using that method to finish a piece! -
Necessary evil review by Temple on 9/19/2018
I hate cold working but Nathan breaks it down and shows you many ways to get it done painlessly. I am not as reluctant to make pieces that require Coldworking now which ups the professionalism of my work.
