Is anyone familiar with this site and there DVD magazine? I stumbled across
the site and it seems pretty interesting yet a tad expensive on an annual
price tag. Your feedback will be greatly appreciated.

Considering a magazine off the newstand cost $5.00+ This is a good deal.
Hey, maybe Netflix will pick them up.
BTW, If you don't have a DVD player I saw an ad for a DVD player onsale at
Radio Shack for $29 Bucks.

You know, we've got a DVD player. Last VCR that went belly-up got replaced with
a dual unit. But somehow I didn't see myself watching the stuff on TV...kind of
silly, considernig I usually read my woodworking magazines in front of the
idjit box, letting that big gray eye stare blankly at me.
Still, it does seem a point, as someone else mentioned, that being able to
print plans extra times after spilling glue or finish or coffee on them is
handy, so a player for this machine might be an idea, too.

I bought the first coupleissues to "try them out" and was hooked. I
then subscribed and am glad I did. I'm more a beginning turner and
find the Dick Sing turning projects to be excellent. Nice to see the
stuff actually being constructed instead of just reading about it. I
also sent a question about a project and received an email within a
day from both the magazine and the author. All in all, I find it
diffucult to wait for the next issue.

Looks interesting. At first I snickered since the DVD player is not easily
take into the "library" to read in the morning. But considering the
information it may well be worth the price. I'm at least going to get a
single issue to try.

DVD players are dirt cheap now, you can regularly find them for $30-50
almost anywhere. They might not be full-featured units, but they will
play CDs and DVDs and isn't that what really matters?

Wow.... If you saw a DVD player at Radio Shack For $29, it must be a wind

Got a sample issue a couple days ago. Very nice and informative. The way
they go through the projects is easy to follow. And the fact its on a DVD
and has chapters inside each project makes it easy to go back and forth
browsing around or if you missed anything. Also includes PDF files including
script for those who want to print it out. Thumbs Up on this one!

If you play the WWHome CD on your PC are you able to print anything from
it? It would be a pain in the a double s if you had to hand copy what you
wanted.

Ooops. Apologies. Thought it read TV. Someone else had commented earlier that
it was handy to be able to print out a version and replace pages that might get
gooped up, one way or another.

I emailed them about a preview copy to see before I think about ordering. As
some of you mentioned who wants a bunch of commercials to watch or other non
useful information. I think it looks pretty cool myself and it seems so do
the rest of you. I was just hoping to find someone who already is a
subscriber to get some "inside" information on what is actually on the DVD.
And is there anyone on the planet who still does not own a DVD player? Heck
there cheaper than vcr's now. In fact I have been shopping the set top
recorders to find the most compatible model for the different players in my
home.
Again I am looking for current subscriber feedback other than that on there
website.

Thanks for the feedback Mark. The kind of info I think most people would
find useful in determining a products worth before "diving in"!

Saw the TV ad this morning. That price is after a $10 rebate. Wal Mart has
a $29 model and a $199 32" TV at Circuit City. If you think about the
price, it is incredible. For comparison, that is a huge color TV for less
than a day's pay. When I got married 37 years ago, a b & w 19" portable was
close to 7 or 8 day's pay.

Thanks for the link, hadn't heard of it.
Well, let's see...
-A two hour long DVD, showing construction, in detail.
-Full project plans to:
-Good looking projects I'd actually want to build for my home.
-DVD format allowing me to print unlimited copies of plans for each
time I trash them in my shop. ;)
All for under 5 bucks a pop. You think that's pricey? Seems to me
like the best deal to come along since the invention of moveable type.

mind-numbingly boring as the guys doing that routah show. Watching
two hours of the same routing operation done over and over and over
again would be about a deal breaker for me. :)
I signed up at a WWing show and got 2 free issues. Since I just bought
a Tivo with DVD, I now have the DVD player that SWMBO gave me as a
spare. Down to the shop it goes so I can watch the videos where and
when I want, and she can watch that damned Oxygen channel when she
wants. The content is quite good and easy to follow. I'm glad that I
subscribed. Happy Thanksgiving, Mark
