United StatesAmazing Craftsmanship Insights in Easy to Understand Presentations
Simply amazing - Rob went through working hand planes on rough wood in step by step detail with visual examples making it very easy to understand the process of going from completely rough wood to a finished square on all sides piece ready for use in a project. I had a physics teacher in college who would the class he would solve any problem in the book without the teacher's manual in front of the class saying he could get stuck just like any of the students but he would work through it in real-time always arriving at the answer. Rob is the woodworking equivalent of that physics teacher and that’s what I like about his DVD’s and his YouTube videos - he works through woodowrking issues as they surface showing you how to solve real-world problems in ways that make woodworking fun and enjoyable.
