I have only seen No. 2 so far, but this was probably the best camerawork of any woodturning DVD I've seen. Jummy also explains what he is doing very well and demonstrates some great talent. He talks a lot about form and design as well. Also liked the "extra" pieces, especially cutting up a fallen tree for blanks.
I have only seen DVD No. 1, but thought the camerawork and her explanation was very clear. She repeated each step enough that you could really understand what went where. Best explanation of 6 in 1 and Oriental I've seen.
I wish there had been some more info about ring sizes and she only mentions gauge at the end of each segment. It would also have been good to discuss ring making or sourcing.
This is a pretty good "home grown" DVD. It only covered the creation of a standard Slimline pen, with no embellishments or alternate designs. I was hoping for some more of the creative uses of the Slimline kit. He does show a good bit about blanks, but does not actually show them being cut, ie. jigs, etc. The part on finishing was very good.
Bonnie shows quite a lot in this DVD for making small boxes, acorn boxes, bolo tie, purse mirror, etc. It also shows some of the fundamentals of chatterwork. The DVD is a copy of a VHS tape that looks to be from the early 90's.
This was a very good vid showing a series of exercises to improve airbrushing skills. Each exercise builds on the previous lesson and adds complexity. Vid shows clearly her technique and she does a very good job explaining her actions.
My club is turning toys for a charity for kids. I thought yo-yos would be a nice addition to our regular turnings. The DVD shows an unique way to make a one piece yo yo, first out of wood and then acrylic. His explanation is good and video quality was good. However, he was setting up the camera rather than having a separate cameraman, so there were a couple of times when he was turning that I just wanted a slightly different angle. You'll definitely be able to make these cool yo-yos after watching the DVD.
Chris goes through quite a number of projects showing bothe off center spindle and faceplate work. Photography is pretty good and you can tell the tool techniques he is using. However, I didn't learn what cuts make what patterns which is something I was hoping to get. You can repeat his techniques and turn out the pieces he shows, but I don't think it would be too easy to expand on to your own projects.
This vid was well done, but does build on a basic knowledge of inkle weaving. The videography was good and I could follow everything that she was doing. Clear instruction on overspinning yarn to prep the warp and then stringing the loom. The advance techniques were all the pickups she did creating complex patterns. The included handout sheet was really a must to follow along with her instructions, since she uses her own method to define the different warp handling steps to achieve the pattern.
