Cornerstone Creations, LLCDVDs – Castings – Tools
I have recently discovered that my DVDs are being sold illegally as downloadable versions on the internet. I have not given permission to anybody to offer this and any downloadable versions are illegal. If you see these downloadable versions and know how to contact the hosting company, please contact me with this information. There will be no written instructions available or templates if you choose these downloadable versions. Please consider that this is how I make a living and these unscrupulous companies are choosing to steal rather than make an honest living.
Instructional DVDs with Matching Plaster Castings
The following instructional videos will also soon be included in my Online Video Woodcarving School
