Secret stash of online videos?

[LuptonM]

I was just wondering if there are some secret stashes of woodworking video's available online?
I am looking for ones which mainly involve using handtools- thus posting it in the hand tool section now

So far I've found this one http://www.pbs.org/woodwrightsshop/schedule/video.html thanks to Pete but surely there should be more out there.(btw the above link is really good)


EDIT: Can a mod move this to the hand-tool section since I've seem to have posted in the wrong place

Hi LuptonM

Are you aware of The Woodworking Channel


Cheers

I think, for a realistic slant on hand tool techniques that you can learn from, you've found the best. This link should soon lead to the latest season - which has been tantalisingly described as 'coming soon' since November:

Maybe your right, though I was hoping there might be more presenters like him out there. They are really good, I'd even say they were better than rob cosmans dvds though a little rushed at times (quite funny when he makes mistakes)

I've only just noticed there are earlier videos that aren't posted on the site. I've managed to find videos for series 21 and later but they are located in a dark place in the internet (so I better not post a link otherwise I'll get squatted by a mod!!!!)

I think the series 30 videos might never come out it seems due to funding or something- can't they just host them on you tube or something to save money?

I've had a quick peep at the woodworking channel, but was a little slow for my liking (the presenter looked like he could keel over at any minute)

EDIT: no I can't find the earlier videos online, I thought I had but the links didn't have the videos available anymore

I've just found out there is another show called Rough Cut but I can't find any videos online.

You're not alone in feeling frustrated that the earlier series aren't around. It's especially annoying that for some time they were available on videotape, but PBS don't seem too bothered about the fact that there are people who would pay for DVD transcriptions of the earlier series. There are the books of course, but there's nothing as immediate as seeing how something can be done.

I think Alf might find one of the videos helpful as she was saying she didn't like Rob Cosman's through mortice video, which was more hit and pray. I was pretty surprised the mortice turned out so good.

In one of the Woodwright videos, I remember he marked both sides of the mortice and chiselled from both sides (paring it first to make it look clean from both ends) - sort of like a dovetail (but with paring first)

I just hope some one will put the earlier videos online one day

He's a marvel, and they only made one.

If you find out a little more about him, you'll realise how remarkable he is. He's not "just" a TV presenter.

You could try Tommy McDonald. A little bit of an acquired taste but watching him build the Bombe Secretary won me over. An incredible body of work.

I don't know if this is helpful , but I use an add-on for firefox called Ant video downloader that captures youtube ,flash various video and puts it on your drive to play at your convenience. I have a slower internet than most and find the old start and stop thing annoying. Once on the drive the videos run smoothly ,very important when maintaining the correct relaxation level for St. Roy.

I've emailed Mr Underhill about how upset I am, so lets see what happens :mrgreen:

 

[LuptonM]

Hey I got a reply from Mr Underhill himself, looks like there's hope :mrgreen: :

Hi Marc,

Thanks for the kind words on the show! We (they) are working on
getting more shows online, and we are looking at partnerships to make
them available in DVD form and on You tube. They are short of staff,
so everything is going slower - but it has not stopped (as far as I
know!)

Best to you!
Roy

There are lots of youtube channels and videos up there that offer woodworking info , try searching for a specific tool so that you can see how it is used?

 

[Noel]

There is a youtube channel called (deleted) that is being developed to include woodworking videos, sorry that its not available right now but I'm working on getting it up and running so watch this space!

I don't think many will be watching this particular space. We're not a big fan of traders joining and promoting their business interests, especially on the sly, without full disclosure. You could of course buy some banner/advertising space?

Have a look for Shannon Rogers video podcasts. He starts off using quite a few hand tools, but as time goes on he turns into a real hand tool junky. Search online for Renaissance Woodworker and you should find him. He is also available via iTunes.

Oh, and if you are willing to pay for your videos then he has also started an online hand tool school.

If I recollect, one of the recent ones he did (dovetailing maybe :duno: ) was very 'iffy' so I'd be wary of taking some info off t'internet as 'gospel' - Rob

The internet is just a delivery system, the quality of the teaching is generally independent of the media. I have been at some dire training sessions where the company I was working for was paying £1,000 a day for the trainer...

Another couple of sources of video demonstrations of hand tool techniques - both have been mentioned before, but not in this thread.

This guy goes a lot slower than Roy Underhill - but is quite thorough and informative:

and this one makes beautiful ouds (Turkish stringed musical instruments) - so probably more 'nice to watch' rather than instructional for most of us:

The latest Woodwright's Shop episodes are now up - in a different place. Here.

Thanks Alf - I'd been watching the old site. Now I know what to do this afternoon!
