I have bought this kit to do a papermaking project with my son. Unfortunately, we could not watch the video as we do not have a VCR, only a DVD player.
The papermaking screen is nice, actually you can use either the screen or the window mesh to lift out paper sheets. If you want to create watermarks, you have to sew pattern onto the window screen , as the papermaking screen is too fine for that (sewing would damage it). To drain water from newly made paper sheets we used pieces of denim rather than the plastic sheets supplied in the kit. For making pulp, we used reed fragmides stems boiled for 50 minutes in 3M NaOH solution.
Basically, we made nice paper in the end but I would have preferred a screen already stretched on the frame, rather than kept flat by the plastic grid support as it is here.

I found this to be a good introduction into the art of papermaking. It is basic, but helpful.
