New to turning what videos to watch

[DiscoStu]

So as per the title, anyone got any good advice on which YouTube videos are worth a watch for a complete novice?

Thanks

Mike Waldt, the welsh chap covers the basics well.

Mike Waldt is good as Bob says. I like Robbie the Woodturner too and Sam Angelo at Wyoming Woodturner. Bob Hamilton hasn't posted anything for a while - but there's plenty of his old stuff and I like his very laid back style and accent! Brendan Stemp's pretty good too.

I found the Gary Rance video http://www.garyrance.co.uk/dvd/gary-ran ... iques-dvd/ excellent for teaching the basics to a novice. He's a production turner and very good ! It'll set you back £20 but good value to teach you proper techniques including the skew chisel plus he'll show you how to sharpen freehand without expensive jigs.

There are loads of woodturning videos on Youtube that are very enjoyable to watch.
But, being new to turning myself, the two people who were of most benefit to me in learning technique are Stuart Batty and Lyle Jamieson:

and

Alan Batty videos are awesome - really really clear and expertly described. If you search on here, someone posted up the results of their following his tips (sorry I can't remember who but I'll have a look. Think it was a month or two ago).

Yep - here's the link. It's nearly an hour, but SOOOO worth watching.

PS And here is the earlier thread about it, including wcndave's excellent first practice piece following watching it - I for one am going to find the time to follow dave's good example;
