"I purchased Furnitology 101 today at my
local Rockler store while picking up some supplies for my next
project. I just spent a very delightful and inspiring 1 1/2 hours
watching your DVD and plan on repeating it later tonight. Again
I enjoy your style and approach. The video and production work
are great. I really like how you guide the viewer thru the entire
process. This is directly applicable to any project. I also appreciated
how you introduced and emphasized simple production techniques
and shop efficiency. I will never look at another sheet of cherry
plywood in the same way! One thing I will immediately put in
my process is to "look for the design elements" and
to "see what this panel [or piece of lumber] has to offer".
I did some of this on my last project my picking matching grain
on the frames and putting the best out front. I noticed a much
more uniform and interesting presentation compared to the last
project. Well, I dare say I am looking forward to Furintology 102!
Any plans on producing some electives" such as veneering?

"I really enjoyed the video. The background
music was great. I'm an amatuer
so I'll need to view it more than once. I thought the seconf half went to fast,
but overall I would give it a 9 on a one to ten scale.
Let me know when the next one is available. |

"Furnitology 101 is a very worthwhile lesson
for those interested in
constructing furniture. The title implies beginning steps which
it does
cover, but it goes up through making and finishing a fairly complex
cabinet
with full drawers and hardware. You may have to review some parts
a few
times but the effort is worth it. I recommend it highly."

Hello Neil,
Your DVD arrived and I have just watched my first pass through it.
Congratulations on a fine piece of work!

I just came from the premier of “Furnitology
101” and it is a smash hit.
You have a great flow as you undertake each step of the project
and you are a guy who obviously knows what he’s doing in
the shop. The chest-of-drawers is a great project to use for
the regular Joe’s out there who want to do some fine woodworking.
…an excellent job of producing a quality video presentation.
You put together a “How To” video that is very down
to earth.

I just finished watching your wonderful
video and was glued to the chair. At no time was I ever bored for it
kept my interest all the way through. All shots are clear and
concise as is the flow of the whole project. I love your choice
of music and the filming is almost flawless.

Great job! Please add me to the top of your list
for the next Furnitology video.
I learned more in the first two-three chapters about various
aspects of the craft than I ever expected, and I even added two
new words to my vocabulary: "furnitology" and "furnitologist".
I'm also confident that I can use many of the techniques demonstrated
in your video to build other pieces of furniture as well.
Your video was absolutely wonderful, and a real credit to the
craft of building furniture. |

"It was easy to follow, well-organized, and
made me want to continue to the
next step. The producer understands the materials, the process,
and the
viewer's needs. He is a craftsman who makes you feel like one too.
I was
very satisfied with the results, and look forward to trying the
otherancem
Furnitology videos."
