The Best of Fine Woodworking DVD

[Michael Fross]

I just received information on The Best of Fine Woodworking DVD 2nd edition in the mail. Link is:

http://www.taunton.com/store/pages/011023.asp

And was wondering if anyone has had any experience with the 1st edition. I was just thinking about subscribing to finewoodworking.com to get access to all the content and it seems this might be a more convient alternative, although I assume it does not have that much video content which I enjoy.

Any thoughts?

I have the first edition and it's been quite useful from time to time...it includes a lot of article and projects that I do not have in print.

[Tom Henry]

That is a heavy price tag for that DVD...

You only cry once, my friend.

I was going to change that to... Beauty is only a light switch away...LOL

[Rob Bodenschatz]

I like: "Beauty is only a six-pack away" better.

I have the first edition and its a good source as projects come up...

Is it the same stuff that is included on their website as a paid subscription? Anyone know?

[Scott Loven]

From the taunton web site.
Almost twice the content of our highly sought-after first edition!
Owners of previous CD, call 866-845-2653 or email customerservice@Taunton.com for an upgrade.
I sell Taunton books and dvds but was just informed by the publisher that this dvd will only be available from them

No one chimed in to answer this. Does anyone that has the 1st addition DVD and a subscription to the website know if it is the same information? If it is, the DVD would be a much more convenient alternative to a web subscription. If no one knows, I guess I'll just go with the web subscription.

I received an email back from Taunton indicating that the "upgrade" price for those who already own the original CDROM is $75.

Scott: I do not know the details but, it seems to me the 1st CD was $150 while the online sub to subscribers is about $15. I would imagine the content is similiar. Better value is obvious IMHO. Just my opinion...
