David Charlesworth DVD ?

[Joe Close]

Has anyone viewed the Charlesworth DVD, "Furniture Making Techniques: Five Topics" ? Is this just a compilation of his other DVD's, or does it consist of new info?

Joe -

I'm a devout follower of David Charlesworth, so it's a glorious day indeed when I run across any new material from him. I was walking by the LN booth in Berea last year when I caught a glimpse of his new video...

It is all new material - taming tearout, how to back bevel a plane blade, shoulder plane tuning and use, planing a frame and panel, decorative beveling techniques, etc.

Did it open great doors to new worlds for me this time (like his others)? Eh, not really - but I'm very, very happy to have any new material from perhaps one of the greatest woodworking teachers of our time.

Great, thanks John!
