Blatant bias post about LN

>Well they did it again, Brittany...
I ordered the Rob Cosman 4 DVD set. Well to say the least I was not impressed. I gleaned no useful information out of these. Just got off the phone a fine folks at Lie-Nielsen, and bless their hearts they will take the DVD's back. What a great company.
BTW...What's up with that Uncle Fester character in his videos? Guy looks like Eddy off an Iron Maden album cover.

By the way, Scott, that is one of the most biased posts I have ever read. You are obviously biased against LN for selling such poor videos and you are biased towards LN for graciously accepting to take them back.
;)
Well I'll put it this way...

>I must be a better woodworker than I thought, because I found no new knowledge on any of them.
My biggest complaint is that it's like an advertisement for LN tools. Now don't get me wrong I LOVE their tools.
He's kind of boring to watch IMHO and I disagree with a lot of his ways of doing things.
I like the Jim Kingshot videos much better; he's a far better teacher IMHO. Guess I'm just old school here.
I'm not dissing the vids; just not right for me, for a beginning hand tool user there is much to be learned by this series.
Kudos...

I would not want anyone to think I'm biased...

I love Iron Maiden. I love the two Cosman tapes I have as well. Ah well, to each his own.

Instead of...
"Is it live or is it memorex..."
"Is it Maiden or the Table saw (or shop vac, or thickness planer?"
Pretty much can't tell the difference - well, actually I prefer the planer... *grin*
Sorry, just giv'n you stick...
Each to their own. My last project was done to Chumbawamba - Un and Kraftwerk - Tour de France. (I know you'll think I'm just as nutty as I do you! Just listen to Chumbawamba - "Everything you know is wrong"...you'll be amused or tearing your hair out.)

>Funny - there was an episode of "Between the Lions" (kids' show) on yesterday where they were showing the story of Icarus. My 4-1/2 yr old was trying to understand it. I tried to explain to him that he'd been listening to "Flight of Icarus" since before he could sit up, but it didn't seem to matter...
I liked them

>I am a veritable newbie - and about as green as they come.
I found the Cosman DVDs very helpful, if not a redundant. I haven't watched dozens of instructional videos to compare to, but I have watched the Klauz dovetail a drawer and mortise and tenon videos and I far preferred Cosman's approach and presentation.
I would agree with Scott, that it really is only for beginners - but who else would need instructional videos?
