Scott- I think what got me about that video in particular was that the guy had ground a saw blade at a 7.5 degree angle to make his dovetails. Does he really expect somebody to have a blade ground to 7.5 degrees? The average woodworker probably cannot afford half of the equipment in the shop he was using, much less have a blade specially ground. When I watch a video, I want to learn something without having to buy something I don’t already have or can’t afford. It’s seems that most of the times I watch one of those videos, the are not teaching me anything, but showing off or trying to sell me their new power tools. It’s an endless cycle of buying new tools or creating endless jigs for those power tools, while I’m staring at his $400 set of bench chisels in the background that have probably been picked up once a month. They are limiting their target audience by doing so, and that’s why I can only find one woodworking show a week out of 600 cable TV channels. I CAN find 20 channels of bow hunting whitetail deer. I have a feeling if Paul had a cable show, the target audience would explode as we are seeing on this site.
