Your favourite, free, on line, woodworking titbits.

[Froggy]

When I first started woodworking I found the internet a great source of free help, with my first favourite been http://www.thewoodwhisperer.com/ I learnt a lot and enjoyed Marc's presentation. I later found Norm and watched as many of the NYW videos as possible. Since then I've enjoyed the likes of Rob Cosman, Paul Sellars and David Charlesworth amongst others. My recent favourite being https://www.youtube.com/user/doucetteandwolfe
I've also enjoyed one off woodworking related titbits such as 'alone in the wilderness' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYJKd0rkKss
But I've seen them all now and some of them several times and at the moment I'm in bed ill (all say 'awwwww' ) and want something new to excite me. So come on guys and gals what have got? What are your favourite snippets that cost nowt on line? And don't forget the links

Cheers Froggy.

I've mentioned it before but assuming you understand French a bit, or even if you don't, this is an old Swiss TV documentary about the last hand tool makers in Geneva.
Father and son, they make planes, saws and more and mutter about the old days, under their flat caps.

Really great stuff.

Yep, really enjoyed that Andy thanks. Found the father a little hard to understand though!!

Tom Fidgen was suggested in a previous thread, all handtool work and pretty much no dialogue but strangely compelling:
