I am almost afraid to post this following the beating I took when I
last posted here. But here goes... my son has put an 8 minute
segment of the 2 hour video tape on cutting foam wings by hand out on
youtube. Before you ask, yes it still links to his website that
sells the full video. To find the 8 minutes go to the youtube website
and type in foamwingcutting all as one word in their search box.
That should take you directly to the video. He has added a
downloadable feature direct to your PC if you do not want the video in
VHS mode.

I am rarely critical of another's contribution to the hobby, but the production
work on this video is terrible. The camera zooming in close and then moving
back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, ...... and all without reason.
It was enough to give me motion sickness.

Hi, Jim.

I guess you get what you pay for.

Thanks Ed, as you point out the 8 minute segment is free. If a
person there does not find something helpful there they are under no
obligation to buy anything. To be honest I have never claimed that
this was a professional, polished video. It was something that we put
together here because no one else had done an introduction to using a
hand held bow for foam cutting in video. Almost 8 years later and
that is still the case. Now if someone wants to take the risk and the
cost and do something similar using a professional studio good luck
and God bless you. Till then, if you want to know how to cut foam
wings by hand I am glad to be of help.
Bob.

Wow! Just over 2 months on youtube and over 2000 viewings. It seems
quite a few folks want to know how to cut foam wings by hand. BTW
the easy way to pull up the video is to type in "foamwingcutting" all
as one word in the youtube search box.
