It has been awhile since I've been able to make new instructional videos for the magazine's Youtube channel but that is about to change. Over the next couple weeks I'll have 2 or 3 new videos up and hopefully can continue on that pace for a few weeks afterwards. In the meantime - [www.youtube.com]

Tom, I love the videos you make and post to Youtube. Your applying wrap finish video made a huge difference for me. I no longer have problems with finish, because of that video.

I'm getting ready to start turning some cork grips, and your cork turning video is exactly what I needed to see

Thank you for those videos, they're awesome, and I am sure you will continue the great work !!!

I'd like to give a big thank you to Tom also. Not just the videos and all the advice he's given to us over the years but for moderating the forum and keeping it civil...even if he wont let me use the name of the largest internet store. lol The one suggestion of using a wide/flat brush rather than the stiff, disposable round brushes to apply finishing epoxy improved my work immensely. Also, I'd like to thank all the other contributors for their advice and insight- this is an awesome forum and I'm glad it will continue.

Too many people from that "store" were using this forum as their personal advertising medium. It got to be a daily thing. So now you know why I had to disallow it. Otherwise, thanks for the kind comments I look forward to getting back to some more videos and other upgrades to the magazine.
