TURN IT ON

 

Whats New

 
 

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.
