"Hand-Cut Dovetails - Technique Series #1"
Bench-side instruction on cutting "through-dovetails", from tool selection to assembly. This is the dvd that started it all. With the continued success of "Hand-Cut Dovetails" Rob has gone on to make numerous instructional dvds. His methods and teaching style have helped thousands learn how to cut what many consider the crown jewel of woodworking, the dovetail. This dvd with its close up photography will teach you the nitty gritty of how it is done. Rob practises and teaches "saw cut to saw cut" joinery, using the sawn surface as the final surface. "Hand Cut Dovetails" is a precursor to "Advanced Hand Cut Dovetails" and "Drawer Making".

"Scraping Wood - Technique Series #8"
Scraping Wood - Bench side instruction on tuning, sharpening and using scraping tools. This is perhaps one of the most anticipated DVDs Rob has made. Many people own scraping tools but don't know how to use them and the "how to" information is scarce. This DVD will teach you how to sharpen and use card scrapers, cabinet scrapers and scraper planes. In a step-by-step fashion Rob will carefully walk you through explaining and demonstrating along the way. With figured wood, scraping can be the most efficient way to process and prepare the surface.

Over 1 1/2 hours of personal instruction from the bench of one of today's leading hand tool coaches. Enjoy! *Recorded in widescreen format - still playable on standard definition screens.
