I made the pastry last night and had freshly baked croissants for breakfast. Awesome, if a lot of work 
If anybody else follows this recipe, the ingredients list plain flour but m0rte seems to have used bread flour. If you use plain (as I did) then add 20-30g to the amount, and save yourself having to kneed it in later.
Your pictures were very useful, it made the folding stage much easier. It's so much easier than trying to follow text instructions! My final croissants weren't quitte as neat as yours, but they taste amazing
Cheers!

Great little guide to trying these at home! Might give it a shot over Easter. I remember going to a large bakery in the States that distributed nationally and watching these made on a huge scale. It really is disgusting the amount of butter that goes into them - but my God do they taste awesome as soon as they come out of the oven!!
