The reviewer who slammed this as a Shopsmith commercial sold the DVD in my case. My recently acquired second hand Shopsmith cost me very little, and while I don't use it for a table saw, all the other functions are saving me a ton of money and shop space. This and volume two are filled with good, simple woodworking techniques, the fact that they are using a Shopsmith doesn't make any of them less useful or unsuited to standalone woodworking equipment. On the flip side, getting to see live woodworking done on a Shopsmith is a boon to me.

This is an instruction video on building a cabinet, not general woodworking. But on the good side, it does a good job on how to build a basic cabinet. I wanted something to explain the tools and what they are used for. They do use the shopsmith and I suspect this is an old VHS tape converted to DVD so it's outdated.
I bought this and Vol.#2 from Amazon's site but from the cheaper alternative Do It Yourself Videos.man I'm sure glad I did. I'm sure glad I only paid about $10.00 to get them as they're not even worth that. I can't comment on Vol.#2 as #1 is nothing but a bad sales pitch for the shopsmith,I just turned it off after skimming through the first 5 chapters,still have Vol.#2 in the wrapper.
