Matt Vanderlist, of Matt’s Basement Workshop and co-host of WoodTalk Online, just posted a new blog entry reviewing the DVD “Turning Basics for Furniture Makers“.

For years, Matt’s been fearful of taking up turning. Not because of learning a new skill, but he doesn’t want to get addicted:

“I decided it was time to face my fears and pop the Disc in my DVD Player and watch what scares me most. Afterall I’m a big guy and I can handle myself right? Well the good news is I survived, the bad news is I’m finding myself stalking the tools in the turning aisles at my local woodworking stores.”

Welcome to the club.

Also, a few weeks back Marc Spagnuolo posted his review of the DVD on the Wood Whisperer blog:
