Hi Don,

I think that it might prove diplomatic to simply send him a copy of the video to play on his computer so that he can see what you are proposing. Keep in mind that he makes his living providing classes and if your video is well made then this could just make Jack obsolete.

I recently attended a wedding reception and noted that there were a number of people aiming digital video recorders at our family group and this felt a bit like being under surveilance by the Stazi - not nice !

Now that you are a fully paid up member of the TFG please note under the TTRAG web pages that "The archive will be open to all Guild members for their study purposes. Not only will it be a record of historic structures, but it will aid in the advancement of the crafts practiced today." I hope that you can share with us whether this actually works in practice.

Regards

Ken Hume
