    Default Favourite woodturning DVDs

    I've just ordered a few of Jimmy Clewes DVDs from Jim Carroll - and have been assured I won't be disappointed. Having seen Jimmy live at Turnfest 2011, I'm sure the sets will be great.

    The new additions will expand my growing collection, which includes some of Mike Darlow, Cindy Drozda and Richard Raffan.

    Anyone got some favourites too that we should be looking at? I've seen a little of Mike Mahoney on the tube and he seems worthwhile. Not sure about the others, so any constructive feedback would be great.

    Hello Jeff, how you been?

    My favorites, which I get to re watch every once in a while, due to infrequent turning at the moment are

    Keith Rowley - A Foundation Course
    Del Stubbs - Bowl Turning
    Richard Raffan - Turning Wood


    I also refer to Richard Raffan's Turned Bowl Design for inspiration, then make a hash of it

    Has Ken been persuaded to make a video yet?

    Still here Pat. Not turning enought, but practicing when in the mood.

    In fact I have a few pirated copies of Ken W. demonstrating down in Victoria.

    Trust me, he's as good on DVD as he is live.

    Must talk him into going commercial and doing it properly in due course. Apparently Jimmy Clewes has clocked over $1M in sales from his DVDs, so the market must stand it.

    I'll second the endorsement for Keith Rowley's Woodturning: A foundation course. I'm only just learning and it is an excellent beginners guide, and I suspect it will be useful past being a raw beginner as well.

    When I started learning I watched:

    Del Stubbs - Bowl Turning
    Mike Darlow - The Practice of Wood turning
    Richard Raffan - Turning Wood and Turning Projects
    Dennis White - Dennis White Teaches Wood turning parts 1 to 4.

    I found Dennis White really good. He was apprenticed as a wood turner in 1920 and was still working when he made the tapes in 1985.

    Mike Darlow is also good but if I put my head down while watching him I fall asleep.
