I've been swamped with work lately and haven't had a chance to start the construction of my Bar Mills Majestic Hardware and Feed Kit, but since I do stare at a computer all day, I managed to find a great DVD on Ebay.
"Building Craftsamn Structure Kits" by Scott Mason offers a lot of great tips and weathering techinques for building a craftsman kit. Its just what I needed to watch before I try to tackle this Bar Mills kit. He goes through everything from construction and glues to use to weather and other effects. I plan to use several of the tips I learned in the video on my kit.
You can find his video with a free 3 minute preview at

I don't think I'll ever be at his skill level, but to me the video was worth the 29.95.
