I checked out your site, & I think you’re doing a great job. It should really help those that are starting out in woodworking. I think it will even help us old timers that have forgotten a lot of things, & also learn some new stuff. The PC is a great learning tool. Keep up the good work.

-- Cheers

lol. Ok. I’ll post the new episode tonight. :)

Marc – Yay, a new episode tonight! how nice amid the NOTHING new or worthwhile on TV these past weeks.

Shawn – thanks for the insight into the recesses of your imagination… sorry about the painful holiday memories. ;)

Marc, I’ve enjoyed veiwing your pod cast. I wish you would have used a board with a little more cupping and/or twist in your pod cast on the jointer. The board you used was something that most of us could do with a hand plane. It was very informative for someone who has never done it and that is good. Keep it coming!! Thanks.

Scott, if you have DIY, it looks like they’re doing a three-fer of Woodworks on Saturday! And two of them are on Arts and Crafts pieces… Man, I love TIVO.

But I hear David was considering making some more full-length DVDs. Marc, I would think you might have some interactions with David still on a more personal level? I thought he was going to do that since Woodworks was cancelled… is it still cancelled, and they’re just rerunning shows? Or did he get signed on for another season? What’s the scoop?

-- Ethan, http://www.merganserwoodworks.com, http://greystonegreen.blogspot.com/

Hey Ethan. The unfortunate scoop is that David is pretty much done with TV. Woodworks has been out of production for years and last I heard, there was no possibility of new episodes. But as you can see, DIY is milking Woodworks for all its worth. The whole thing turned out to be a pretty raw deal for David. But then again, the fame and notoriety he received is what allowed him to make a career out of appearances and teaching. So I guess he is making lemon aid from lemons.
He is making DVD’s, but they are coming out slowly. He currently has two videos: one on chemical patination (from the 80’s) techniques and one on jigs and fixtures. You can buy them at www.djmarks.com

Hopefully he will be able to make more DVD’s soon.

Cool (about the three-fer on DIY) we don’t have it, but I think my in-laws do. I’ll need a break from the rest of the fall-clean up I need to finish before the snow comes (finally) on Sunday.

-- The opposite of war isn't peace. It's creation. -- Wood T's: http://www.printfection.com/snbcreative

Yeah, I’d read he didn’t get the best end of the stick with that deal and he was planning on making more in-depth DVDs, instead. Chemical patination isn’t really my thing, but I might check out the DVD on jigs and fixtures.

Actually… maybe I’ll put in a request for our guild to buy a copy for their library.

Thanks for the info, though!

ok, I just came from The Wood Whisperer site and I’m not seeing my new podcast out there yet!!

I’ve got the shakes so bad from withdrawl I’m amazed I can even type this message…

I gotta go score me a podcast!

-- ~ www.darrylmasterson.com ~ www.woodworkingdungeon.blogspot.com ~

Sorry about that. I have been trying since last night to get my video uploaded to Blip.TV, which is the site that hosts them. Unfortunately, something keeps screwing up the upload. But since you are a nice guy, here is a link to another super secret location where you can see the next video. Dont tell anyone. :)

Enjoy your work. I’m from a woodworking deprived area, so there are few to learn from outside the small clubs. I resort to the magazines and forums. A video is worth a thousand words so I look forward to your future casts. Also, nice job on teaming up with Matt. Listened to the first episode on the drive home last night.

-- Jeff, South Carolina

Thanks Jeff.

Hey Marc,

Thanks for mentioning this site in your “A Cut Above” podcast. Looks like a great place for a newbie like myself.

Keep up the great work!

Thanks,

-- Wayne Short - Newbie looking to learn!

I love your podcast! I watch it at lunchtime when Im out building stair banisters. You and Nicole rock! I have ‘shop envy’ as mine is mostly the portable tools in my van to set up at jobsites everyday.

Later!

-- Wayne Rogers, www.Miniaturebases.com

Mark,

Thanks for introducing me to this site. Another good source for tips and info for a beginner.

Marc,

Thanks for giving a new woodworker the video “crack” one needs to feed one’s addiction. One of your podcasts pointed me to this site, so thanks for that as well.

-- Log...log...it's big, it's heavy, it's wood!

Just checked out your projects, you have some really nice work. I especially like your inlaid jewelry box.

-- Ron, Twain Harte, Ca. http://westcoastlands.net/Sawmill.html http://westcoastlands.net/SawBucks

Marc, just joined lumberjocks based on your rec. Looks pretty good. Loved your podcast – spent my whole Christmas break watching it. My wife won’t stop bugging me about building her the cutting board. Good things!

-- Bob, So. Cal

I found lumber jock through your site which was also a random stroke of luck. I love what you bring to this industry…videos and websites full of info like yours is exactly what’s helping bring this craft into the mainstream. Thank you for taking the time to share with all of us.

Hey Marc, I love your podcasts, they are so funny and I get alot out of them. I started watching them about october of last year, and I watched every sigle episode you have in about a week. All of the episodes you do teaches me about diffrent woods, tools, and pretty much anything else there is to know. I know that you had an apprenticeship with David Marks as well. I appriciate alot of his work. You both use alot of the same techniques in doing things. I can’t wait to see how that end table will turn out. By the way I think you shuld definetly use glass for the top. It will give it alot of class I think. Thanks.

-- Tyler, Illinois

hey Marc i just wanted to say that i love your podcast just like about everyone on this entire site. you’re the one who convinced me to start my podcast and it has been doing great so far. currently i have 5 episodes out and am looking for some sponsors (hopefully i can get some free tools). so i just wanted to say thanks and i think that what you’re doing is great and keep it up. i eagerly await the next episode.

-- if you haven't already check out my blog http://lumberjocks.com/jocks/teenagewoodworker/blog/3961

Well thank YOU buddy. I think you are a doing an excellent job with your videos. Keep up the great work and good things will come!

just thought i’d say hello and keep up the good work

-- I cut it twice & it was still too short

Marc,
I know we’ve all seen your workshop through your video podcasts, but come on man.. no workshop pictures on Lumberjocks?! :)
(actually, I have cleaned my shop, reorganized, and have some new equipment, so I am due for some new photos)

BTW.. Love your podcasts!

-- Jamie, Kentucky

Hey just thought I would leave you a comment, i realy enjoy waching your podcasts, it is nice to see how other people go about a project keep up the good work!!

Callum

-- There is no such thing as a mistake....just a design modification

Hey Marc—
I’m like a lot of others; it’s all your fault I’m here. I really look forward to the podcast; it’s like a healthy combination of Norm (whirring routahs… everything always fits together first time…) and St. Roy (we get to hear the clatter of an 1860’s Sheffield tenon saw hitting the bricks…) Can you tell me why my wife relates to Nicole so much?
Seriously, I truly appreciate it when you explain to us the elements of your design and how you arrived at the design decisions you made. Keep up the energy!!

-- There's no tool like an old tool...

Marc. I really enjoy your podcast(TWW and Wood Talk Online). I think it may be time for a new shop tour podcast. I can tell by watching that things have changed a bit. Just a thought. Keep the episodes coming.

Good Afternoon Mark, I’m some what a newcomer here but wanted to stop by and thank you for being such a Great Ambassador to our field of Woodworking. It’s a pleasure to watch your Pod Casts and your good nature
nonchalant attitude to the audience in your presentations.
Keep up the Good Work!
Have a Good One,
Smitty
