So I was watching the Passfire show on Western Winter Blast (highly recommended, regardless of this post) and noticed this.....

Yep, that's my build from one of the classes and the answer is NO. There is no report with that.


That year was a lot of fun - you'll see my actual mug quite quite a few times in the show - we set up the Maltese wheel and matched and loaded many of the large Maltese shells in the video. The year prior we did one of the evening shows. WWB is a bit more relaxed than PGI, but I hope to make it to PGI this year and WWB next year, too.

Glad you added that question mark to that creation. LOL I have mixed feelings about that entire Passfire project. What is confusing for now is what is what for sale? Is it Season one or Season 2 , is it Blu-Ray is it DVD is it a download or DVD or 4K. Can I buy this and get it all or i something missing? I got lost in the progression of the series.

It by no means is a big production. All involved are very nice people and I appreciate the production the package together, but it is a bit of a strange business model and just a few people. Many of their series/sessions are subtle paid-for-adds and that is how they run, so it is not always just documentary. They get most of the sponsorship and even go-fund me profits to put the work together. Then they are running around to events camping out and peddling DVDs and merch. I think they sell the DVDs until they run out or have no more funding to produce more.

I have some on DVD, but I think most are avail on Vimeo. The WWB was from the recent Maximum Load.

Oh, it had a 1" ID, if I recall.

It was a gerb used on a set piece. The "With Report?" was just to identify it. I just chuckled that it got some attention in the film.

We made some "Lattice Poles" that year, going for something like this.

Here is it actually being set up

As for big stuff - I got caught on film with some of that, too. I didn't build any of these, just added all the leaders, help a bit with the loading, and wired them up.

Fantastic stuff by some members. Just about any one of these shells will out impress all the shows - IMO. I don't even want to know how many hours of work is leaning against that container.
