Thanks Dick. I have copies of those videos on my hard drive but if I skip ahead in the video the sound gets out of sync... I guess whoever copied them did a poor job, so I haven't watched them yet. There is a link to download them so I think I"ll replace them all. Thanks!

I have copies of a bunch of others too that I am going to go through. I started on the ones by Darrell Holland. I know a fair amount of that stuff but I always pick up something. There are others by David Burns, Rudy Kouhoupt, etc. Jose Rodriques makes a series on the Taig and several others. I watched some of one and he was going through how to make different gadgets for the lathe. There is also a series on the Mini Lathes by Lex Liberato. I bet Youtube has a bunch of stuff as well.
