Video Takes take
of-Over the last few
issues,
Fine Wo odworking
has been con
ducting what amounts to a mixed-media
experiment. We have expanded beyond
the printed magazine page to offer video
tapes accompanying a few select articles.
Much of what we do in the magazine in
volves trying to explain techniques, some
of which can be complicated. Sometimes
even simple tasks can seem more complex
when put in print. It's like trying to give
written instructions to tell someone how
to tie a shoelace. We had a feeling that
some subjects could really benefit from
"moving, talking pictures," as Paul Roman,
the magazine's founder put it.
The idea was to make short, simple
video tapes that could be paired with arti
cles to make a powerful package of infor
mation. These are not intended to be finely
polished entertainment. Instead, each
video functions more like a reliable old
tool: There may be a few nicks in the han
dle, but it gets the job done. The tapes are
shot by our staff editors in the shops of our
woodworker/writers or in the Taunton
woodshop. Editing and production are
kept to a minimum and so is the price.
Techniques and tool reviews seem to be
the natural topics for Video Takes. So far,
we have done Tage Frid on veneering
(FridVid 11030, $7), Sandor Nagyszalanczy
comparing sliding compound miter saws
(SawVid 11031, $10) and Peter Korn on
preparing stock (PrepVid 011032, $10). In
this issue, Robert Vaughan demonstrates
how to set jointer knives OointerKnives
011034, $10).
A fifth tape was intended to accompany
the article about cove cutting on the table
saw, which was featured in
WW
#102.
Valuable contributions-Sometlung
that
has been an important part of this maga
zine since its inception is the advice and
conu'ibutions of experts. People like Tage
Frid, George Frank and R. Bruce Hoadley
have lent their special knowledge to the
magazine in ways that go beyond what
appears in print. Their consultation and
support have been important in consis
tently proViding the kind of information
woodworkers want and need from
Fine
Wo odworking.
That's why we have a spe
cial place on our masthead
o
recognize
Unforeseen circumstances kept it from be
ing released for that issue, but it is now
ready. The tape (Cove Cutting 011033, $10)
features assistant editor Jon Binzen
demonstrating a wide variety of cove cut
ting techniques on the tablesaw, showing
what a powerful shaping technique it is.
That or any of the other Video Takes can
be ordered by calling (203) 426-8171 or
writing The Taunton Press Order Dept.,
P.O. Box 5506, ewtown, Conn. 06470.
Reader reaction has been positive to the
tapes, and we will continue to offer them
with the articles that especially lend them
selves to the technique. Watch for the little
Video Takes logo that appears at the be
ginning of an article. We tlunk of the tapes
as another useful tool for sharing impor
tant information between woodworkers.
We hope that our readers see them as
useul tools in their shops.
our conu'ibuting editors, who also include
Christian Becksvoort, Robert M. Vaughan,
Mark Duginske and Sandor Nagyszalanczy.
Each time we add a name to that list,
which is not often, it represents a valuable
addition to the magazine. That is certainly
true of the newest name to be included.
Mario Rodriguez is a nationally recognized
expert on 18th-century woodworking. But
his skillful approach to his craft goes be
yond that period to encompass a diverse
repertoire of techniques for botl1 hand and
machine tools.
Mario is also a natural teacher. He shows
that skill both as an assistant professor
in the Restoration of Decorative Objects
program at the Fashion Institute of Tech
nology in New York City and in teaching
