the only half decent saw that looks good to me (as in cast iron table and a nice solid fence) looks to be around the $600-$700 range. but if your into alot of cabinetry watch out for the key word “carpentry” table saw

I have taken several seminars and one intensive course (building a workbench) from Hendrik. I can say without any hesitation that this is money very well spent. Hendrik is the most detailed and thorough instructor I have ever encountered. You definately need to save up your empties and get this video.

And no I do not get any consideration for my comments.

Cheers

Have to agree, I really want it but can’t afford it. I KNOW it’s worth it. 10hrs, man that guy put some work in!! But I just can’t justify the cost.

I agree with Kris here. $100 for a DVD isn’t a lot. Infact I think it’s quite cheap. I used to teach Swing Dancing (Lindy Hop) and instructional DVDs and the like were easily over $100 a pop.

For something that could not only save you quite a bit of time but also your fingers and medical bills, it’s definitely on my “buy” list.

As with many others though, I need to budget for this but it’s good to know that this type of material is out there.

Cheers,
Carl

That’s $95 Canadian– so it is a little less expensive in US Dollars. :)

Iâ€™m going to seriously consider buying it. I spent $50.00 at Woodcraft for a table saw class that was just over an hour to learn one tip I havenâ€™t seen on the web. Donâ€™t want to complain too much, but this DVD could be money well spentâ€¦

At first glance I would have to agree with you. Especially since most people will spend $25.00 or more for a movie on DVD but that said, at almost 10 hours of training that would be $100.00 worth of movies so it looks about the same. Only difference is that you might be able to recoup you money in productive shop time instead of, oh , eating a bunch of popcorn on a couch someone else made. I will have to budget for it though as I have only been working 3 days a week for the last 5 months!
Anyway, good luck on the new adventure! ;-)

I was pretty excited to see this DVD because I am new to woodworking, I just purchased a tablesaw (no injuries so far, heh :))) and of course I want to learn everything about tablesaw setup and safety. However when I saw a price of $95, well let’s just say it was a big disappointment. I don’t know where do people get money for stuff like this but I will reather spend my HARD-EARNED cash on set of good clamps (that I acctually need). Too bad the cash doesn’t grow on trees :((( That’s just my 2 cents.
