This is a Terrific video for a beginner woodworkers. Frank Klausz has a true knack for teaching, without going over your head. Thats the true sign of a master, he has nothing to prove, just teach.
We're luck that the Tauton Press people didn't go the route some publishers do and overcharge their material.The section on how to tune up old tools, and the demonstration on how new tools are not as sharp as you would assume it is, were very interesting (at least for a novice). I also appreciated the practise routines he added at the end.
