The Doctor is in with a woodworking DVD that challenges your present skills and teaches you new ones. You’ll follow the process toward the completion of: 2 Three Drawer Chests and a Two Door Cupboard constructed from 2 sheets of cabinet grade Red Oak Plywood and Red Oak Solids. Will the cabinet designs assure you entry into the International Contemporary Furniture Fair? ……….NO! But through their design you will be exposed to construction techniques that already have been juried and displayed on the Javitz Convention Center floor. Because the cabinets are designed to my definition of “Transitional Furniture”, you’ll be exposed to a style of combining contemporary materials with traditional icons. Furnitology 101 uses economic Cabinetmaking tools: the table saw, router, band saw or saber saw, files, rasps, clamps, sanding machines and most importantly eye, ear, and lung safety equipment. As a fine woodworking highlight, Furnitology 101, has spindle turning on the wood lathe, along with the layout and construction of the simplest complex curve, the basis for the astonishingly beautiful; cabriole leg. As we all challenge our woodworking skills, and reach more towards larger case goods such as bedroom suites; thinking of personal cost and the limited availability of quality grade lumber; “solid wood construction” will become more and more difficult to do. The cabinets selected in the DVD Furnitology 101 are intended to expose you to the entire construction process and to help address the future of personal woodworking and furniture design

I hate to say this, but this has to be one of the worst videos I have seen. The quality alone makes it virtually unwatchable. For example, the audio was not psynched to the video and it is totally disjointed. The author may have some good points, but I was so distracted by the amateur quality of the DVD that I couldn't even focus on what was being shown.
I liked it!! This DVD approaches "how-to" in a different and entertaining way. I found it to be informative - complete with clear and concise instructions along with helpful tips that any woodworker can use. A lot of information and great graphics. The step-by-step instructions seemed designed for the woodworker who already has a little experience which worked for me. At times, it moved too quickly, so I would like my own copy of this DVD so I can refer to it as I go through the steps of making the cabinet myself.
