It's amazing how different the online woodworking world is between when I started and now. In fact, one of my major goals in that first year was to try and find as many resources to help not only myself become a better woodworker, but to help anyone who had a question. Talk about feeling alone!īut it didn't take long to start hearing from fellow woodworkers who were searching for content and chances to connect and learn. When I started my show over five years ago I was the only podcast on the Internet until Marc came along. I'm sure it came as a result of some magazine subscription that sold my name.īut you're absolutely correct about people not knowing of the online communities of woodworkers or even real world guilds and clubs. I received one of those discs several years ago too. If I might bite on the DVD and the promises it offers, others most definately would. And I still stumble upon locations and information completely by accident.
Now, I know a handful of people in "Real Life" who work with wood, as well as several people from the various online communities. The one store I knew of was in the process of closing, and I did not know anybody else who did any woodworking. I have caught a few episodes, completely against my initial will, and the quality of the production has definately improved.īut before three years ago, I was completely at a loss for any wood working knowledge.

Now, I realize that Tommy Mac has the high production television show because, in part, of his podcast. The video quality was grainier, the accent difficult to chew through, and the lighting felt very dark and secretive. In comparison, I also opened a podcast from T-Chisel, and was completely unimpressed. Marc's voice was clear and understandable, the camera angle was back far enough I could see what was around the bench as well as the work being done at the time, and there were no shadows in the video. I happened to be searching through iTunes for wood working podcasts. I stumbled on the website for the Wood Whisperer completely by accident. It comes down to stumbling across the links, or having someone direct you to them. Not having received this DVD, I cannot state what information is presented. Yes, there are people out there who do not know that there are wood working communities online that can provide as much or more information as this guild.
