There are some truly excellent FWW video how-to series available here. After buying endless copies of the magazine for years and years, I find the website video series now the most valuable part of FWW, as a moving demonstration of how-to. Close ups of the process rather than just still pics of a small part of the process imparts a lot of detailed understanding. And the FWW video production & presentation values have been very high, especially compared to the often utter dross of the average YouTube vids.

But the video series seems to have become moribund, with only around one a year now – and without the breadth or scope of most of the older series, which covered lots of tool-use, techniques, design aspects and the making of a whole piece. A few video explanations of use of glue or bandsaw are interesting and useful but a very narrow scope compared to previous make-a-piece-of-furniture video series.

What is the current FWW plan or intentions concerning future video series? Are there to be any; more or less than the current poor rate; a greater or lesser scope? It would be not just interesting to know but a decider concerning a subscription – or not.
