Shopsmith DVD Collection of Nick Engler Videos

Post by woodhead52 »

First off I hope this is the appropriate section for this question. If not please let me know which one I should be using.

I'm new to Shopsmith, still shopping for my first one.

I'm looking for opinions on Shopsmith's DVD collection of "How-To" videos, made by Nick Engler.

I've watched a number of the Sawdust Sessions online, which I believe are the same videos that are on the DVD's. The online videos, are rather poor quality and kind of grainy. Are the DVDs a better quality? I'm tempted to buy them because I think the information is great, but I'd like to hear from others who have done so.

Thanks,
Woodhead

For any one who may stumble across this thread. I did buy these videos and am glad I did. Quality isn't HD by any means, but the it's better than the online versions and it's very good information.

Many of the Sawdust Sessions were recorded during the time that Shopsmith was just gearing up. They were learning how at the same time they were filming.

Despite the poor quality of the videos, I thoroughly enjoyed the Sawdust Sessions and I do wish they could return. I rewatch several of them still.

Usually, if I link one of them to a post here on the forum, I watch the video to make sure that it relates to the post as I recall it doing. I learn even more by doing so.
