Beginning Woodworking Part 3 - Finishing DVD Critique

Adding to the beginning woodworker series, here's part 3.

I critique a new finishing DVD produced by Popular Woodworking Magazine.

Have a listen and begin to think about finishing as a seperate skill. A skill ; needed to be a successful woodworker.

Hey David....glad you see the value, others should too. Next is my Design approach which I'm excited about....going to try and clear some misinterpretations there also.

David....woodworking is just not as complicated as individuals like to think it is. If all the thought about the next post of minusia went into the act of woodworking, the internet woodworking community would be better for it. I'm hoping this begins to sink in over time. Butas we've talked, its still all new.

The WoodExpo is doing OK, my calender has us close to schedule...... need to stir the pot a bit. We are behind in the Call for Entries now. Thought we would have heard by this week. I'm on it and we'll give it a shove over the next few days.

I'm noticing forms of our theme mentioned around the internet so we have a good topic to build on. I've contacted loosely, some local internet Boston guys to be ready and they are curious.

Say hey to everybody....Neil

Neil,

Excellent critique.

I love how you stressed who the information in the DVD's is targeting and why it is valuable to them.

Often people will give an inaccurate critique because the information is above them or below them and they seem unable to discern this issue.

I agree with the 2 finishes for beginners. They are the easiest to control and apply at the beginner level and a person can start their finishing journey there.

I am curious myself now about all the other information that the DVD's contain.

Thanks again for an articulate and well thought out critique of the video set.
