Finally got a chance to watch this. Wow, what an incredible documentary. Being a history nut, an antique nut and a gun enthusiast (hate to say "nut" after "gun" ;D ) I found this to be fascinating. The skills involved are nothing short of amazing. Thanks for the great link.

Edit: Heo, thought you might like this video I found after watching yours. The same guy, 40+ years later. Turning out some true masterpieces. I would love to own one of these pieces of art.

Well it would have helped if I had actually POSTED the video I mentioned ::)

Here he is in what I assume to be his 60s. And it looks like he's gotten much BETTER. Check out some of his works in this short video.
