There probably would be interest in a project like that...I think that a video on changing pedals, set-ups, making adjustments and general up-keep on a steel might be of value.

Hi Don, Well I'm getting close to that retirement age and I, for one, would be interested. However, I agree that a high quality "generic" DVD video on changing pedals, set-ups, making adjustments and general up-keep on a steel would have a larger responce and is greatly needed as it is difficult to find a "local" technician.

Heck, why no do both .... out of bordoom Oh Well

Blessings, Bo Baker

Are you thinking of a "professional" video (produced and edited by someone with video experience and good equipment), or just something you might do yourself to occupy your time?

I guess I'll take one. I plan to be building a steel or two pretty soon. Setting up a shop building right now. Got the floor joists laid today. Walls tomorrow.

Ouch? From the "tupperware" guy??? Cool

At any rate, no slam was really intended. I just wanted to see if it would be a "professional type" video production, or a sort of "youtube quality" thing. I think how well a video is produced usually has a direct bearing on how well it sells. Some people make videos as a hobby, or just a lark, and that's fine. Others make them primarily to generate income, and help their business.
