Trailer for Simon James' new DVD on Cabinet Making: How to make the traditional workshop jigs and devices used in furniture making.
Traditional workshops had a vast array of clever jigs and devices, all designed, and usually shop made, to make the work of a craftsman faster and more accurate.
Simon teaches how to make many of the most useful of these pieces which are devices he uses most days. The designs are based on the traditional but have been refined through testing and use over time.
Though these are "just" workshop items, the clear, step by step teaching introduces many techniques that are applicable to cabinet making, such as compound joinery and inlay,
The DVD compliments Simon's book: Working Wood 3: The Cabinet Maker's Workshop.

Simon If you're trying hard to impress me with your Romanian knowledge, you don't! It was a "yes" or "no" answer and I got it. Also, Romania is not my country! However, I liked your video and let's "stick" only to that, no disrespect...

Simon I respect you for what you show in the video, sorry if I was a bit rough on you for being "cute", you didn't deserve that, I didn't mean to be Mean but it happen and I apologize for that. I follow your other videos and find them interesting but sometimes I prefer not to leave a comment (and we know why). I like the fact that you're responding for comments, some other "Artisans" are too busy probably or simple don't care... Keep up the good work and fine quality videos. Holidays Greetings from across the pond...

+Simon thanks I will try that measurement with my arictecticual ruler on page 261 I just got my DVD in the mail and love it I have found that their are many tips on the DVD that are not in the book so it is well worth to have both DVD and book in your library. Can't wait for book number four!!!
