Thread: YouTube and woodturning.

Actually as a teacher I think it's very useful to know the typical mistakes that learners make and to be able to make them yourself. You then know from the inside what's wrong and how to correct it.

Careful people otherwise we will have another useless Gov Dept created for censorship of Net video on woodworking. Which would mean the end of WWF video's

Its strange anywhere in the world you can buy machines for personal or small home based business use without any training or Gov interference until something goes wrong.

It already exists. It's called "The Federal Office of Holding Hands and Empathy"

Ern, I agree in part with that but if you don't have someone (with knowledge) with you to point out the errors then a lot of people take what they see as gospel and Hand the same mistakes on to others.

Absolutely.

I was assuming a teacher-student situation.

The teacher knowing how mistakes are made is important to diagnosing learning problems is all I was wanting to say.

Its where the teachers are learning from that's got me worried

Hands up all you teachers learning off the Forum

, instead of picking on others you could always get out the video camera and make one showing the "right way" according to

You want to be the camera man? Any way my way might not be right either.

I'd be the camera man if I lived closer!!! Then I would be able to pick up tips

"Right" is any way that gets the job done safely.

"Safely" is a matter of perspective... which is worse: 1,000 accident free jobs followed by 1 severe OW! or 1 perfect job after 1,000 "Oh Bugger!"s??

Mind you, in some cases - as in one Indian turner - you can plainly see the OUCH factor is much, much higher than 1:1,000. [shudder]

I did say "according to "

I would like to see you stack the bricks on the head - that was an interesting exercise

Not sure about the bare feet holding the wood for the chainsaw - that one maybe a little closer to skews figures i reckon.
