Well put together. Good content. Some basic sharpening and holding technics. Basic beading and parting along with some info on inside turning. This guy is good and a fast turner. Not great for the very beginer but has a good bit of info for the learning. Donny

Fast paced but really came home on the second viewing. Worth buying to refer to again and again. Richard really covers a lot in one DVD.

Excellent, just what I was looking for. Not elementary and not too advanced. Looked like a real woodworker, his shop was 2-5 inches deep in wood shavings!

The DVD was excellent for the beginning turner. If you also have Richard Raffan's book, Turning Wood the DVD gives a visual image of the descriptions. I highly recommend the DVD.

I've never had any formal instruction in woodturning, and have only turned a few pieces. This video taught me a number of interesting things, and after watching it I turned my first piece the didn't require any finish sanding! I'd say this is a super video for the new turner.
