I don't have any dvd's for sale but signed up for Robbie O'briens online guitar building course
This is one fantastic course imho he covers everything pretty well even an extensive section on how to french polish.It's cheaper than a lot of the dvd's out there and you are able to download all the lessons too.There is also support by Robbie through his Google groups
No scratchin or losing those dvd's you just go back online and download them again

Anyways heres a link to his site http://www.obrienguitars.com/?page_id=84

Hope this helps

Little known factoid. That bruise was not caused by improper use of a tablesaw. It was actually caused by hoards of women tackling me vying over my affections.







In other news I'm delusional.

I've been thinking about video lessons as well, but I'm worried that there will be extensive use of power tools and the lessons might not translate so well to the hand tools I will be using.

I'm not neanderthal about it or anything, it's just what I have to use at this point, and hope to eventually obtain some power tools.

John,

I focus on hand tool building in my online building course. There are some power tools, jigs etc that I use but I also talk about alternative methods of doing things. The majority of the focus is hand tools.
