5.0 out of 5 stars Beginners Luck, December 7, 2002

This review is from: Radial Arm Saw Joinery [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I am a beginner just getting started. I purchased a used Craftsman RAS from a relative (who never used it) and am trying to get educated on the RAS as well as woodworking in general.

Curtis appears to be a precise individual. He takes the viewer through the parts of the machine, calibration of the machine, safety and operating technique, lap joints, slip joints, mortise and tenon & dovetail mortise and tenon joints and the jigs needed to make them on the RAS.

You cant expect everything out of a video, but as a beginner I can say that it is well worth the money.

I am searching for and intend to buy more books and instructional VHS like this and would appreciate recommendations of others.

This review is from: Radial-arm-saw Joinery [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This video is minimally helpful. Yes, I'd recommend it to others simply because it's the only radial arm saw instructional tape out there. Curtis speaks very slowly with a monotone voice. You don't see his radial arm saw started until 35 minutes into the video. There are only two types of joinery shown - and one of them is an advanced technique which requires very special jigs. Nope, he doesn't show you how to make the jigs.
