A tour around Mary’s workshop could make for a good lesson for beginners. Could include what to look for in a workbench, holding devices, how to tune a bandsaw?
Often at the beginning of a class you can see books, carvings etc in the background. Would be interesting, If Marry could pick up the camera stroll around the shop & just talk about items, why they are set out a certain way & how to use them.

I did have an older video of a tour of my workshop, and have tried to get a newer one. But... that means I need to clean my workshop 🙂 I will try...
Would you believe that everything out of camera reach is chaos? Secrets of the trade.

Does anyone even have a clean workshop or workspace?! At least yours has character, like a bird nest...mine is just chaotic. ?

Would be interesting, and quite possibly useful, to many to have a bibliography of the books on the shelf in the background. I know I would love to know the titles.
Thanks.

I will look into doing this (in my spare time). I love going to used bookstores and buying whatever I can on design, furniture, carving, architectural details, etc. In fact just this past week I found 4 more obscure books on carving that I had never seen before. Something so wonderful about having an old book in your hands. I like pictures!

Have you checked out Project Gutenberg? There's some old carving books and other woodworking books as well as a lot of other old classics etc. Not actual books with paper pages but they are free.
