Looking for HOT videos?

[Chris Barton]

OK, now that I have your attention, go to this link and look at the instructional videos and such. A tremendous wealth of information!

By the way, I am unclear if this represents a threat to the linking of other sites. I am only interested in passing along the instructions, not in stimluating a DEFCON 4 moderator reaction.

Good post Chris. In the past, I've found these and the Woodcraft site videos very helpful.

Anyone have any more links to contribute?

( at ease moderators )

Yeah, if you want to rent turning videos, you can go here:

I've use the service twice and it worked well. A bit pricey, but prompt delivery and a big selection.

FYI, You can get all these in a DVD for free. I got them though Sorby's site.

Chris, as always, links to other sites are encouraged as stated in the TOS (http://www.sawmillcreek.org/terms.php). The only prohibited links are direct links to other forums and to auctions. Additionally, moderators will make judgement calls on "overtly promotional" activity by vendors, manufacturers and others with something to sell when it is not supportive of the discussion at hand.

Thanks for posting the link to the Sorby materials.

There's only one problem with those videos. They make it look easy!:D I have a Sorby texturing tool and it's nowhere near as easy to use as the video makes you think. Still, those clips have helped me make buying decisions in the last few months. I wish Sorby would make more of them available.

Sure it is Mark....You just sharpen it with your diamond hone, turn on the lathe to about 500 RPM and stick the tool in there. :p :p

It's like me when I saw my first woodturning video.....Man! That sure looks easy enough. NOT!!!! :o :eek:

But after a couple hundred hours behind the lathe? It's better now. :D

Thanks for the link Chris. No DEFCON4. :)

DAMN!!!!

Just about time I convince myself that all I need is my $9.99 a month dial up service and you go post something like this. I will let you know in about a month what I think of a video.

Thanks for the post.
