    No, but I am an avid browser of his website and students' websites, if money were no object, I'd love to go and train with him and his team for a year. I've subscribed to his newsletter and am slowly reading his book, Furniture with Soul

    Yeah, I've been subscribing to his newsletter for a while now too, and yes training with him would be awesome. They've just brought in a new deal at work where you can work for 80% of your wage for 4 years and take the whole 5th year off. I'm tempted to use it to go do one of these year long courses.

    What an opportunity, Talorien!

    I think his DVDs would be a worthwhile investment. I've based this on the quality of design, work and how far his students have gone in their own woodwork careers after training with him, as well as how many of his students have become very successful woodworkers.

    Really, though, unless you can find someone who has bought one or more of his DVDs, it could be a case of buy one and see.

    What is your favourite piece of David Savage's work?

    I've been looking everywhere about his works here in our country but sadly I haven't found not even one. All I did was to browse the net and only see through websites to make known this famous woodworker...Hopefully that they would send his dvds here in our country. Thanks...

    I've received his newsletters for a few years.

    I purchased the first two DVDs he made, on dovetailing and on drawer making. The sound quality is terrible. So faint that it makes the DVDs almost useless. I wrote back but my email was ignored. The content, per se, was useful - rather slow (bit like David Charlesworth ) - but good information. Overall they are hard to recommend if the sound and follow up service is poor.

    I'm sure they will send them to you. They aren't available anywhere but on his website from what I can see.

    I ordered them a few weeks ago and they are very good. Not quite what I was expecting from the titles but definitely well worth the investment none the less.

    They must have re-done the sound as my version of the drawer DVD was ok.
    They are not high end productions and seem very much in the vane of podcasts put onto a DVD. It would be good if they spent a few bucks on remote mic for the presenter and the video operator wasn't a fan of Blair Witch.

    After a few watches though you forget about the production and concentrate on the techniques that they are demonstrating
