Editorial Reviews

Join Ron Hood as he travels to Romania on a quest for Bronze... Bronze is one of the cornerstones of civilization. Ancient metalworkers learned to manufacture this metal around a simple campfire. The skills they discovered and the techniques they uncovered are all explored as Ron takes you on a tour of Romania's historical artifacts and treasures. You will see the process as copies of some of these ancient artifacts are made for later casting into bronze. In this DVD you will learn, up-close, the basics of modelling, copying, mold making, casting and aging of bronze. Watch Ron get his face cast into a bronze life mask from start to finish. This DVD does not include instructions for constructing your own foundry. But it does teach you, up close, all about preparing and casting of Bronze as you watch and learn. This DVD is about 1 hour and 45 minutes. A note from Ron about this DVD: When Karen and I talk about "survival" it is not just a concept related to the wilds. It covers every aspect of living from primitive to modern, from barter to economics. This video is related to barter and economics. When we produced the "Knife making" video we brought into being a whole new generation of custom and private knife makers. There are literally dozens of people who now augment their income through metal working and knife making. Since then we have had many people request more videos on skills. Bronze is one of the cornerstones of technology. Without it we would not be where we are. It is also an artists ultimate medium. Add to this the fact that it is beautiful, do-able and saleable and we have a recipe for financial augmentation as well as a way to express an artistic bent and make everyday durable and practical items
