Many of you may know of Graham Blackburn from his many books and a few videos.

A few years back he started a subscription DVD called Woodworking In Action.

I recently checked out whats been going on with it. A lot it turned out.

Now, in addition to a quarterly DVD in the mail, you have full access to flash videos of all the previous videos.

A few folks you might have heard of, Frank Klausz, Alan Lacer, Marc Adams, Garret Hack, Don Weber and more.

Most videos are either of the 10 minute or 22 minute variety. With an average of 10 different segments per video.

Topics range from how-to, showcase of work and jigs. He covers both flat lander and Dark Side woodworking topics.

Given the archive goes back to October of 2005, you get online access to 11 DVD's worth of content.

On to the content! Its great. I found most videos to be a good blend of information and education. Without being insulting, the videos are what I'd call semi-pro. You don't get a highly polished scripted and show, something more like a casual conversation. Many of the folks in these videos are used to talking to their subject, and that comes across.

If you are a video junky, which I am, I'd say its money well spent.

You can take a look and get a preview at

Thanks,
Jim

Thanks, Jim. I actually just signed up for this about a month ago. I've yet to receive my first DVD, but now anxiously await it.
