I have always wanted to learn to tat; but when I finally found a great shuttle tatting site; my hands are bad. This book is really informative and I can sit down and follow the instructions.

We have a 2012 Ford Focus and a 2013 Ford Escape. Within weeks of owning each, I was immensely disappointed at how faded the rubber seals around the windows looked (as well as these two rubber-ish trim things that run down both sides of the roof on both vehicles). I just sucked it up for quite a while, but it really added age to relatively new purchases. Needless to say, I jumped at the chance to try out Turtle Wax's Premium Trim Coating Kit.

I decided to give it a go yesterday. Let me first say that, if this is your first time doing something like this, you may want to set aside more time than you initially estimate to complete this project. This is not necessarily because the process is inherently lengthy, but it does require a fair degree of care to avoid making a mess. I personally found that, by the second car, I was comfortable enough that I was moving much quicker. I would also recommend preparing several pre-moistened paper-towels and placing them within arm's reach prior to even putting on the included gloves. One of my first mistakes was not taking this precaution. I got some of the treatment on my window, immediately stopped to run inside and get some paper-towels, and, by the time I got back to the car, the treatment I had been applying to the rubber trim partially dried prior to my being able to smooth it out and made a bit of an awkward texture. The window was easy to clean up with a bit of elbow grease.

All-in-all, I am beyond pleased. The treatment took years off of the appearance of our vehicles. I was impressed with the look of the rubber window trim even after the first coating. After the second coat, it was so deep and rich that it almost looked like paint. The textured black plastic body trim on our Focus turned out well, but the results were not nearly as stunning as the rubber. I decided not to apply the treatment to the dark grey textured plastic body trim on our Escape. I just don't believe it will have the same brilliant effect on the gray trim. I did, however, apply it to the smooth black plastic rear window wipers on both vehicles with fantastic results.

I am very, very pleased! If you understand that there is going to be a bit of patience and precision required of you going into it, I believe you will be pleased too.

I'm freaking out!!!!

I've been involved with graphics and desktop publishing since 1989. Where we were then to where we are now is galaxy's away.

I researched other pens on Amazon and finally after listening closely to features and reviews, I bought this stylus (please stop calling it styli!) not really comprehending the flat disc point versus a normal point. I now understand.

I used the Apple pencil briefly at the store, and granted I wasn't using a professional drawing program, what I felt compared to the Adonit is night and day.

I think it's interesting because Apple is known for creating wonderfully designed products, but if you put the Adonit up against the Apple, I think the Adonit is way cooler, and I think it's designed for the professional in mind. That being said, I did not spend very much time at all with the Apple pencil, thus I am sure there are very positive things that it offers.

But, if I had to choose based on gut instinct, the Adonit is my choice.

It is a marvelous piece of technology, and one that severely threatens the existence of the every day pen and pencil. It feels so nice in your hand, and the plastic disc on the tip makes perfect sense. It glides perfectly over the glass. It's one of those things that you have to experience to appreciate it.

I am currently using Procreate, however I just downloaded and am using a drawing program called Concepts.

This is what I mean by Galaxy's away. With this pen and Concepts, the world of graphics and art has been turned on it's side. Not that this is a replacement for desktop publishing, but in terms of just being creative wherever you want to be. The future is now.

The syncopation between the pen and tablet (iPad mini) is simply perfect. It all works, that's just what it does.

So if you've made it this far in this lengthy review, I can assure you that when you proceed to checkout, you should be very excited about the things to come!

Try [...] I went there and IMMEDIATELY found several tatting books that are listed here as "Out of Print" or "Unavailable". Don't believe it and don't EVER give up! If you want it badly enough and are determined enough - EVERYTHING is POSSIBLE!!

Hope this helps those of you having trouble finding some of these tatting books!

Sincerely,

~KB~

The projects and pictures are beautiful- every day should look like the pictures in this book! I have flipped through this book five times already (and I only got it two hours ago).  I also love that her daughter helped her produce it!
For clarification, this is for shuttle tatting only (two shuttles needed for each pattern). The patterns are easy to follow (written out, not diagrammed) with great stitch notes. I am a beginning tatter and cannot wait to finally make these creations. I have only a few more stitches to learn before I can (i.e., Josephine ring, split chains/rings). I'm definitely going to be on the look out for more tatting from Hye-oon Lee!

I really do appreciate your guys services and I am happy with most of the materials that I have purchased through you guys. I would like to say that the inks in the tattoo kits should be upgraded because some of the inks don't hold at all on the skin and the ones that do fades be for the skin heals all the way so that's a bummer but other than that,you'll be hearing from me again at BICCAS industries.

Nitrozac and Snaggy, of the ultra cool GeekCulture.com have really hit the nail on the head with their book. The long wait for the book was well worth it. Each page looks absolutely beautifull, and the printing is spectacular. The introductions by David Pogue and The Woz are great too! And the lexicon at the end is very nice, for us "insiders" who post on the boards there :).
The comics are the best of the ones I can remember (all of them) and each page gave me many a chuckles.

By drinking some coffee, I tend to have a little stains and I thought I could eventually try Whitestrips.
I already read some people complaining about sensitivity after a couple days, however I was seduced by the number of people having great results.
I gave a try, and thought I would maybe get some sensitivity after 3 days. However, on the first try, after 10 minutes of application, I started to get some pain like I never had even with some very icy drink.
I had to remove the strips ASAP.

I believe this product works. However, don't try if sensitivity is something familiar with you already.
I believe I will need to sell my 19 other stripes now!

I'm a professional tattooer and I'm always looking for reference material to borrow design ideas from. I have to say, this book has a plethora of amazing designs. Yes, some of the prints are kind of small, but to the people who are complaining about that- all I can say is learn to draw.

Finally found what I needed!  I was attempting to color/paint some 3/8" vinyl tubing (kinda like a large version of aquarium tubing) for a costume project.  First I tried Plasti Dip, and while it seems to adhere at first, it quickly all rubbed off, no matter how prepped the surface was, nor how long I allowed it to dry.  Then I tried Krylon Fusion, this was even worse, the paint never fully dried/cured. I waited a week, and it was still very tacky to the touch.

I finally figured, hey, its VINYL tubing, lets try some VINYL paint!  This stuff (Red) worked like a charm, it dried completely, remained flexible, and adhered VERY well, I can't scratch it off with my fingernails.  It seems to really bond with the vinyl tubing very well..  I just wish it came in a few more colors I need purple!

Ordered this and I didn't use it for several weeks. When I first used it, I thought I had a lemon. I wasn't feeling anything. I thought it was like a galvanic current machine like Connie Stevens and Suzanne Sommers sell and you most definitely feel the current on those.. Then I actually watched the video and tried the Tinity. It does lift and appears to lessen wrinkles pretty well and this was noticable the first use.  No pain like the galvanic current machines.  I am also derma needling my face along with the Trinity and  using a Palo Via laser and an LED red light therapy lamp. Also bought some gel form skin peeling acids. Of course I don't use these all at once. I rotate them as I tend to be heavy handed. Oh and I also use a microdermabrasion system occasionally. Is my skin very wrinkled and discolored? No. I have very few lines exceppt I am starting to get some naso-labial lines and marionette lines and I hate them and I intend too get rid of them or die trying. Refuse to pay major money for Restylane and Botox. Am a big do it yourselfer. So as this progresses, I will add comments. This machine may turn out to be a 5 star item.

I have been buying Ships of the line calendar(paranomic version) since 2004. These calendars have always showcased great star trek art over all these years and has been a must have for trekkies or trekkers. However in last few years I think the art lacked imagination and there was too much emphasis on just one Star Trek series. They didn't really capture 'To boldly go...' feeling of star trek. Well this year I must say I am pleasently surprised.

This time around all of the calendar art has a imaginative feel to it and also a wow factor. They cover nearly all the Trek series this time around with Enterprise series notably missing(finally). Some of them show-cases nice shots of ships while others are more action oriented with ships engaged in battle. The action driven pieces appear to be the most attention drawing. Now as before they appear to be drawn rather than being photo-realistic but the depth and creativity of the art more than makes up for it. One of the art 'To reach the quadrant in 80 days' will adorn my wall as a poster in the near future.

In a nutshell this calendar has great imaginative art with that Star Trek feel to it. In my view its a must buy for a trekkie and well worth the price.

I used to love sketching up cars when I was a kid.  My dad worked for a major automotive company in Detroit and used to bring home all the new product books.  I would sketch over them and then make modifications in my sketches to make the cars look 'cooler'.  This book reminds me of the hours and hours I would spend doing that.  There's no way I would have built up the talent that Scott has, which is clearly evident in this book.  His sketches and ideas make it look almost easy to do.  But, rest assured, this man has some serious talent.

I think it was the cover shot of the book that made me want to buy this.  It's an amazing rendering of a car that will likely never exist.  There's a futuristic pride that takes place when you look at the sketches.  It reminds me of the old Disney videos of what the future will look like.  It seemed so real and possible.

The sketches of the bicycles was a pleasant surprise.  I guess I was just expecting a bunch of future looking vehicles.  The bike sketches are really amazing.  Definitely pushing and going beyond the design realities of your typical bicycle.  I found myself being a little critical of the designs, but then I had to just step back and appreciate the futuristic prediction and take in the awesome possibilities.

The only thing that I would be a bit critical of, is the constant mention of Adobe's Photoshop.  This book could easily be turned sold as marketing brochure for the software application.  However, it did pique my curiosity of how these sketches were done and made me want to visit his website ([...]).  Of which, is another great place to check out his work.

If you're in the search for design inspiration or just like to look at exceptional sketches, than this is sure to meet your expectations.

I have my share of ink. I have to be honest though, not sure I think of sex while I get them done. Though I'm sure that would help ease the pain. But for those who have a favorit tat artist that looks like him, read this book. Held my breath at some points. Over all I really liked this.

Love it!  Perfect!!  After emptying all my pockets and wallet looking for my parking stub taking 5 minutes as the shuttle continues to drop off passengers I said, This is the last time I will be doing this.  Bought the next day.
