Lest you think that's the only video we filmed there--oh, no. There's more. Much more. For example, we also shot the first in a new video series I'm creating for Knack Books. This "show" will feature Nick Knack (yours truly) as he shares various step-by-step, do-it-yourself tips drawn from Knack Books.
