sweet, thanks for sharing…

-- When in doubt - There is no doubt - Go the safer route.

Thanks, Marc. This was a nice look inside David’s shop.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

Wow! That is a nice tour! I like to see him in a little more relaxed setting and actually having the time to talk about what ever it is he wants to talk about in-depth. Thanks!

Cool. Thanks Marc.

-- Wipe the blood stains from your blade before coming in.

That was a great tour, I love the woodworks series! I wish they would give David another show contract. I can’t wait to see part #2. I wonder if David still can rock the Drums?

Great tour – thank you…

Great tour!!
Nice to see him relaxed and in his own environment. Thanks for sharing with us.

Great Tour. I’ve never watched any of his shows. But, I’ve heard a lot.

Mark your intimate relationship and I mean this with all due respect really shows through in this tour. I can only dream of knowing such a legend. You don’t happen to know Sam Maloof by chance,I would love to tour his shop.
well done cant wait for the gallery tour.

-- All bleeding will eventually stop.

Thanks Marc, that was fun.

-- Thos. Angle

Thanks Marc. That was great to see.

-- Guy Kroll

Thanks for the video post.

Hope I don’t undermine his sales of the scraper sharpening video;)

I can’t wait until you do the Gallery tour. I’m sure he’s got some great stuff in there. Thanks for sharing.

Very cool! I would love to take one of his classes someday.

-- Julian, Park Forest, IL

Great video, great tour. Hey, I heard David walked on water, is that true?

Thanks Marc. It was like visiting with an old friend. I miss not seeing him in action!

-- Rich in Richmond

Very nice fellow.

He has the best personality to learn from.

It’s called humility.

Nice shop.

that was really cool marc, thanks for sharing.

...oh and I loved the intro, classic spagnuolo right there!

Hey…his shop looks just like mine…except he has all those great tools and room!
Thanks Marc.

-- gbear, Carmichael, CA

very nice! i love the beginning! its hilarious!

After meeting David in person, I always found it funny to watch him in his old shows. David is a relaxed, t-shirt wearing, coffee-drinking woodworker with a vision and a dream. On the show, he was who the producers wanted him to be. The fact that David even gave me the time of day, years ago, when I approached him with my own dream says a LOT about his character. And I consider myself to be extremely fortunate to call him a friend.

And yes PKP, he can still rock the skins! In fact, you’ll see some of his playing in the next video. I even had a chance to jam on his set that he has upstairs in his gallery. That, however, you won’t see in the next video, lol.

Hey Bob. Humility happens to be one of my favorite characteristics about David. You might like this (non-woodworking) article I read recently: Humility

Thanks for all the kind words everyone. I will send David a link to this thread so he can see all the great comments!

Marc, David is a great guy and very knowledgeable. He has put in his time. He does phenomenal work and has studied a great deal. His drive to constantly push the envelope and try new things is admirable. Can’t wait to see the next segment.

-- Oldworld, Fair Oaks, Ca

You know it’s really good to see David on screen again. I think he really has a lot left to show, and amaze us with. I build a lot of New Yankee projects, but that is because Norm has really made them simple, and easy. I wish I had the talent, and vision of David Marks to attempt one of his projects, especially the veneering. Ahh, maybe one day. Thanks for the update on David, Marc!! You know, he’ll be here in Houston this month I believe to give a lesson on finishing at our local Woodcraft store. Maybe I’ll scrape up enough cash for tuition. Finishing is another skill David has perfected!

-- Matt, Houston Texas

Marc,
Thanks a lot for the video.It was like having a new episode to watch I miss Davids show immensely and it was nice to see him in such a relaxed atmosphere.He didn’t need to show us that 36” bandsaw though-LOL Reckon he could use that 36” bandsaw and to do some bandsaw boxes? I’d love to see him cut out that turtle toy box he made on one of the old shows. I think you and David both have the necessary humor to make wood working enjoyable. I’m really looking forward to the next episode! Thanks again guys and may yours tools always be as sharp as you are!

Sincerely,
Ken McGinnis

SWEET!

Great video….sweet shop, of course….....Thanks for the video, I’m sure you had a great time doing it.

-- Todd, Oak Ridge, TN, Hello my name is Todd and I'm a Toolholic, I bought my last tool 10 days, no 4 days, oh heck I bought a tool on the way here! †

Personally, I was most impressed with the horizontal front leever, on the workbench. If anyone else here has a grasp of the body tension it takes to pull that off, his woodworking begins to look amateur. How old is he anyway?

Thanks Marc, it is always awesome to see videos of a famous woodworker in a relaxed environment.

Thanks for the video Marc. I am a huge fan of DM. This is nearly like meeting him in person.

Thanks for the post. I’ve been a big fan myself

Thanks for the video Marc. My two favorite pieces he made, were the hall table with the cold patina top, and the glass top table with the hot patina stretchers. The guy is awesome.

Thanks Marc for the video! Really interesting to see his shop.

-- ...it's rennovation time!!!

Thank you Mark, you make great videos

Thanks Marc.

I wonder why his show was canceled. It was by far the best woodworking show on TV. I still watch old repeats :)
