This topic is to be a reference section for Guillow model builders.
This is intended to be a video link only thread. Any discussions about the context of the videos should be in a New Topic.

As each person posts a new video link, they should number it in sequence from the previous post, for easier reference.

Also, please give a title and short description of the video.

This video, about 8 minutes long, is about repairing some slight damage to a Wakefield balsa model. Fairly well done video. The repair principles could be applied to the construction of a model, also.
