Hey folks.
I remember watching a video with the above title (or something close to it) about two years ago, when I found it on YouTube.
I'd only just started doing some woodwork at the time for the first time in 20+ years, and the instruction I got from that video was utterly priceless to me. However almost all the work I've done in the last year has been without any chisel work, so I felt a little rusty. I went back to YouTube tonight to watch it again and found that the video has been withdrawn from the site because of some copyright claim by Lee Valley or something.
The links are totally removed, so if it was not for the remains of it in my favourites list, I'd not even know the beginning of the title. I don't know the name of the fella giving the instruction, but he was English, carefully measured in his speech and apparently very very good with a chisel
I remember him having gray hair (lots of it) but other than that, I wouldn't be much use spotting him in a police line up!
Does anyone know who this was, and if there's a way to get the video another way? I presume that if it's been copyright claimed, then it may be part of some instruction set... If so, is there other subjects included that may be worth buying as a set or something? (Not that I have much hope there, most instructional series that I've seen for sale are way out of my price range)
If anyone can guide me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it, and if I can find out any further details, I'd deeply suggest to the other newbie woodworkers in the forum to watch it, even if the professional woodworker that I know argues a little with some of the techniques there, it was a great foundation for better use of chisels, transformed me from struggling to chop out a mortice, to hand cutting and hollowing a storage box for my marking knife the next day from an offcut.
Help would be appreciated.
Nic.
