hello, my name is Nate and I am an old broken US ARMY veteran with too many ideas and not enough brains to stop them. I have an idea for a new car and also a new airplane I am thinking carbon fibre is the only way to go for both. Since there has never been one built like the pictures in my head I have no pattern to go off. How do I make a mold from scratch? What tools will I need for body projects this size? I have access to all the metals and framework components (as well as people willing to help put it together) and even connections to find running gear/chassis parts. I have to keep my costs down due to limited income however some of these dreams just wont let me go so I guess I have to build them. I have watched your videos on youtube. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR ALL THE GREAT INFORMATION AND KNOWLEDGE! I really do appreciate this.

Thank you for your time, sincerely; Nathaniel Erik Fisher Owner of Pro Blasters media blasting in Portland Oregon

Hi Dennis,

Thanks for your interest.

We've started filming but as always, these videos take longer than we think. For the pattern making video we've developed two new products from the ground up; we're very excited about them but just getting the formulation right has meant coating about 100 patterns so far just to compare and 'fine tune'. We hope to finish filming fairly soon. I always avoid giving a date for the videos because we'll inevitably miss that date but I do hope they won't be too long.

All the best, Matt
