These podcasts are really great. Helpful, instructional, enjoyable and really interesting even for someone who doesn't deal with woodworking on a daily basis. The YouTube series I think deserves a renewel, great content but lacking in video and production quality which takes away from the quality of information and skill shown. I hope you get the opportunity to continue this series either as a podcast or YouTube series. I would have no problem subscribing to a full time service and I'm sure you would have many followers glad to contribute to quality service. Thanks for the work so far and hope to watch or listen to future episodes.
