Item # BK-HC - Price $59.95 Running time for all six DVD’s is over 6 hours.#ISBN 0-9776591-2-7).  Several delays have slowed this project.  First the video camera needed maintenance, then insufficient hard drive space ( now I have 6 hard drives) and lastly the start up of the saddle manufacturing plant.   Hang in there as proofing still needs to be done. This set is unbelievably awesome.  Words cannot describe.
