Work is under way to make new stock for the first fair
in February, I have been working on having a new section at the fair to show
my more adventurous pieces. The Spinal
Injuries Scotland Awards can still be seen here. (SEE
PICTURES) I intend to try and
coast along for a wee while and try to re-charge my body batteries as well
as my wheelchair ones.

JIMMY CLEWES DVD SET TURN IT ON
|
It Has
taken me a while but I have finally finished watching all of
"Turn it On" DVD's by Jimmy Clewes.
Cost: separately
£19.95 plus postage – or £49.95 plus postage for a box set
of all three (2008)
Summary
I have watched Jimmy at the Scottish
woodworking show and at a venue in Scotland, I like
his very matter of fact approach and his no nonsense outlook.
I find with Jimmy Clewes what you get is what you
see and because of his skill there is no pretence. The
DVD's are superbly shot with good camera angle and
good clarity. Jimmy gives a great commentary and his descriptions
are spot on. The subject matter in each DVD is
well covered and the extra features are informative and
useful.
Value For Money
These DVDS as a training aid or a
reference are worth every penny.
Turn it on Volume One
Apart from the main features, the
extra bit on sharpening is great, the fact that
Jimmy sees the value in using a jig for repeatability is refreshing, a lot of
professionals still stick to this "Freehand is the
only way" approach, that may have been fine when you were making
hundreds of one item but as amateurs we make just
the one then make something different, the same is true for
modern professionals like Jimmy Clewes.
Turn it on Volume Two
 
Turn it on Volume Three
