Following a link from another thread I discovered this DVD

http://benchcrafted.com/Videos.html

It looks absolutely fascinating! I couldn't justify the money on it at the moment but would love to see it.

Anyone seen it?

No need to order from America for a film made in Ireland; here's the director's own site:

There's a book too;

It does look interesting from a Historical view

I also would like to see it but GOD :shock: The price is OTT :shock:

How much does it cost to burn some CD's , very little

If it was around £30 I would have a go but bot at that price

Unless we can put together a syndicate of 10 people :mrgreen:

The woody ones are available for free download on the net: furniture building, carriage building, boat building from memory. Good stuff too, nearly all hand work and simple, staightforward techniques. The hand-built specialist jig in the furniture-making family is an absolute gem - I won't spoil it by describing it. Oh, and I've never seen so many Volkswagen Beetles used as dog kennels as the boat builder apparently does!

Thanks for the tip Sam - I agree about that jig. I also approve of anyone who does woodwork in a proper suit and tie!
