"...The 'you are there' feeling is incredible. I have never seen such fantastic images. One of my favorite segments is where you can actually see the metal come down over the top of a large oval amethyst. The tool section has some classic information with innovative techniques as well. The stones and settings supplied for practice are a terrific bonus. I couldn't be happier with this package. It is indeed a "Classroom in a Box" and the best instructional video I have ever seen."

"The absolute best training video I have ever seen! Mr. Lewis has combined highly magnified, easy-to-follow video with cross-sectional, computer graphic depictions of what is actually happening inside the ring. The tool section at the end of tape two is incredible, and made the purchase price a true bargain."

"The clarity, detail and sequencing is fantastic. New Approach indeed! Not only were the ingredients of proper stonesetting made clearer than I've ever seen them, but I was left itching to get to a bench and try out the innovative techniques."

"The new video tapes on flush setting and bezel setting by Blaine Lewis are an incredible learning aid to any aspiring jeweler who wants to set stones in a professional manner.

Blaine's stone setting methods are conceptually brilliant and are truly revolutionary in their approach. The videos show these concepts very clearly, using graphic animations that go far beyond anything seen before in instructional videos.

The tapes also include a wealth of information about tools and other workshop tips that will help to achieve the professional setting results that are the focus of the videos. All in all, the videos impart a tremendous amount of useful information and they are without doubt a great bargain in that respect."

"Blaine Lewis has taken a giant step in instructional video. Unlike any other video on the market, Blaine has taken the time to figure out what helps the most for learning and mastering the craft. As a full time metalsmith, this for me was money well spent. Now I have new skills to use in my craft. This video with its awesome photography and crystal-clear animations, tools and samples included, will set the trend for learning videos. I recommend it highly. It truly is a 'Classroom in a box'."
