    Default 24-7 of streaming woodworking videos

    This is one of my new favorites: http://www.thewoodworkingchannel.com

    24 hours a day seven days a week of streaming woodworking videos for free, you don't even have to register to view. With tool commericals between each show (I like the commercials too.)
    “When we build, let us think that we build forever. Let it not be for present delight nor for present use alone. Let it be such work as our descendants will thank us for; and let us think...that a time is to come when those (heirlooms) will be held sacred because our hands have touched them, and that men will say, as they look upon the labor and wrought substance of them, ‘See! This our father did for us.’ “ --John Ruskin. Audels Carpenters and Builders Guide, 1923 Theo Audel & CO. New York.

    Any ideas as to why I just get the wheel of death and a message to say I've lost my connection each time. Is this another free site that I need to pay something for?

    Default It works for me. Free. No registration

    Send an e-mail to the site admin. and see if they can help you. I did not register or pay a penny and It works great for me. I'm running Windows XP and internet explorer 6.0 connected to the net with ADSL.

    The site pays for itself thorugh advertising. I guess.

    I just had a look. I'm running XP with Internet Explorer 6 and it started straight out of the box just fine and I only have a 256k satellite connection. The only problem is that it is a bit grainy and its like watching a movie on a postage stamp size screen. Sound is excellent.

    For those that had a problem, I had the yellow popup bar come up that said I may need an ActiveX control to run it. Apparentley I must have had the ActiveX control because it ran fine.

    The problem with streaming videos is that when you only have a 500meg download limit it chews up your allowance.

    Download Realplayer and add it to your favorites, no need to even have IE open...
    If you go back some time in this forum labolle you'll see we've been watching them for a while now.

    Default Woodworking channel

    I had been watching for ages and then one day I kept losing connection. Windows media player had been corrupted by another program so I went to microsoft.com and downloaded media player again and all is ok. Love the channel.

    For those that use Opera the new version now runs The Wood Channel. I have also run it into a TV using the S video port on my computer. You could also record it if it ran with no glitches (very rare here). There is also software around to record streaming video to the hard drive and save it as a file.
