Hi Folks,

I’m new here so I’m not sure if this question has been asked before (I did search and couldn’t find any similar questions).

I have been trying to find some current woodworking videos and have yet to come across anything newer than ’92-’94. I have found almost all of the Taunton Press videos at my local library plus a few others not found on Taunton’s website.

My question(s) are: 

1) Is it just a tragic coincidence that my recent findings of woodworking “how to” instructors are deceased? Namely Jim Kingshot, Jim Cummins and  Roger Cliffe. I realize there are others who produce videos but unfortunately each week that I found a video by one of the above I would try to do some research on them and come to find that they have passed away. I hope Kelly Mehler, Gary Rogowski and Frank Klausz are all doing well!!  

2) Why are all the videos that I found thus far at least 10 years old? Doesn’t anyone make current or possibly updated instructionals? I am very grateful to find anything demonstrating WW techniques but I also find it amusing to hear almost all of them comment on how convenient “this new cordless screwdriver” is in their assembly segments!
