Here's the video. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJOfH-lomEQ)
Learn about this seminar in this Chief Delphi Thread (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=147028).
The recordings were supplied graciously by two Build and Control Team students; towards the end a few seconds are cut off between camera shots but the missing portion is summarized briefly in text for viewing ease. Enjoy!
