Why Isn’t There an Introduction Video for Clothes Storage?
Our next premium project for Woodworking Masterclasses is Sellers Home Clothes Storage. The first episode is released Wednesday 28th August. We would usually release an introduction video the Thursday before the release of a new project series. As I type Paul is working in his workshop to get the piece finished. Why haven’t we managed an introduction video this time?
In March 2024 Paul was assaulted while out cycling. You can read more about that here in Paul’s blog. At that time we had a 12 week lead time with filming. Paul needed time to recover and when he felt ready to return to the workshop it was smaller projects that Paul worked on. The assault and much needed recovery time meant our lead time is much reduced and is now 4 weeks.
The temporary keyframe shows where Paul is up to for the Sellers Home Clothes Storage. We have 2 more episodes to film and then we will film the introduction. Once they are filmed and edited we will share the introduction video with you.
The assault was just a downright nasty event and I’m really pleased that Paul pulled through physically and mentally. Ironically I think it has had an unexpected benefit for WWMC members in that we get to see Paul creating without rehearsing (building a prototype) . There are subtle little aspects that pop up in the videos that are worth heaps to those of us that haven’t spent many decades day in, and day out, working wood. Of course the downside is that Paul and the rest of the team must now work harder to gain back that lead time. May our thoughts be with you!
Yes! We really lost our lead time!
Very well said. Thank you.
