Not that I'm aware of, I sure won't have time to do it.

As I will be unable to attend the convention this year, will there be video recordings of the seminars?

I started my business in 1978 and for the next 10 years, I cut everything by hand.  I was so far behind in y orders and working myself to death, so in 1988 I bought a clicker and had 3/4" steel rule dies made for some of the more popular holster patterns I had in my catalog.  It saved me so much time, it was unbelievable.  My steel rule dies have all had hundreds if not thousands of strikes without a single failure.  I don't think I've had to stone any of them more that once or twice in 35 years of use.  In 1988, my clicker cost me $5500.00 shipped to Montana from Texas and the holster dies were generally in the $90 to $105.00 range.
That's good to know. I've never had the volume for anything but in your case, it paid off. Outstanding.

I stumbled on this video on YouTube. If I were still making Holsters, I'd give this a shot. It's much slower than a clicker press but I'd still save time and get an accurate shape.

That's the one I would go with if I were interested in having a die made. He's mid point between the other two and probably would provide the best product.
