I've just watched for the first time I'll go back and make notes next your extraordinary recent issue; as a confirmed instructional video junkie I consider myself something of an expert on evaluating that kind of stuff; yours is the best I've come across in the genres that have captured me over the years.

Unexpected - the loads of examples such as how to drive a screw, make a pencil mark, etc. It is indeed like having a private lesson. Even with 25 years of experience, I still found something new every few minutes.

These guys teaches solid basics for all skill levels. They bring, not only the how, but the why these procedures will keep you safe and give you the best results as well. The videos have an even flow teaching method that keeps your attention and leaves you with virtually no questions in the end.

Don't ask me how or why but I no sooner ordered my router when I found myself looking at your web site. I subscribed to it and after the first issue arrived, I became obsessed. I know I'm not telling you anything you haven't heard many times before but these are absolutely spectacular -- you're spectacular.

You're wonderful -- a true sage. Hey guys. Just dropping a note to thank you for your videos. I thoroughly enjoyed them. I am a 44yr old beginner woodworker and am looking for all I can on instruction materials. I've learnt so many new things and can always go back and watch it again when I get stuck. Anyhow I am now in the process of watching them for a second time and starting to put to use the skills you teach.

Just a great product. Thank you. It took the mystery out of the planing process, and gave me confidence that I would not have gotten out of a book or magazine. I look forward to the next one, and am hoping for the subject to be hand planing! I am finishing up my first commisioned piece, a mid-century modern style desk of my design, and your DVD got my milling off to a good start. The presenters speaks clearly and plainly, so it is easy to understand.

You can watch the demonstrations each step, from setup to cutting, during the video as he shows what to do and explains why it is important. I have another 5 or more hours of instruction to watch, and look forward to doing so as time allows. I would highly recommend this for a woodworking club or as a gift to someone just starting out in the hobby.
