Subject: Blacksmithing video footage

Hello,

I am developing a documentary about a master Californian
blacksmith.  In the process, I am taking a lot of detailed
video footage of his style and technique.

It occured to me that the raw, unedited material could be
very useful for beginning blacksmiths.  There's a lot to be
learned by simply watching a master go about his work,
from start to finish. The more opportunities like this you
can find, the more finer points of the craft you can pick up .

If you know of anyone who would like to have a copy of this
footage, please have them contact me.  It would be a shame
to let this valuable information collect dust, when it can provide
a genuine service.

Good Day, Mr. Walker

        I am very interested in obtaining a copy of your documentary about
the Californian Blacksmith.  I am personally involved in the welding
industry and am just starting out into the blacksmithing trade.  I am
currently setting up my own blacksmithing shop and am looking for as much
information as I can find on the blacksmith craft.  The opportunity to view
your video would be greatly appreciated.  Please let me know how it would be
possible to get a copy for viewing.  I would be more than happy to return
the video after viewing.

        Look forward to hearing from you.
        Thank-you,  Richard Lambert
