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.

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://thekiltedwoodworker.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.

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!

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. :)
