High quality woodworking videos?

March 26, 2012 3:56 PM

Please recommend me more high quality woodworking video content!

Now that I've taken up woodworking as a serious hobby, I am looking for high quality online video content to show me anything and everything about woodworking, especially as it relates to proper tool handling, safety techniques, tips and tricks, and start-to-finish furniture builds.

I have already seen the following:

- Marc Spagnuolo, The Wood Whisperer
- PBS' American Woodshop streaming episodes online
- PBS' The Woodwrights Shop

Please share your woodworking video content with me!

Best answer: Of course : The New Yankee Workshop. They're streaming a different episode each week, and then it's gone. A bit annoying but it's pretty much the grandaddy of all woodworking shows and covers a lot of the basics of operating machinery and making things. I'd skip past the 'finishing' portion of a lot of them and look to the wood whisperer or read up online for a more modern approach to that area.

It is my favorite special place to nerd out about woodworking.
