Here are photos from Jarrett’s first bagging process. Mike Hamilton in Oregon. Your DVD's are great! Tim from Fresno, CA. I Don't think this boom would have come out so n...

I have both videos by Curtis. As well as Phil Barnes and the one by George Spar of ACP. I got the one by Curtis just for the part of using PU glue. However his video taught me a few more things than I expected! I think its good to see other peoples views. I also like the video on Pod and booms.
