      eBook Cover
      My new eBook and DVD are now available. The book shows how to draw things such as barley twists, padfoot legs, a ladderback chair and many other woodworking projects. The Table of Contents is attached here as a PDF file.

      The DVD adds some additional detail to some of the chapters in the book but isn't just a video version of the entire book. It is designed to be able to stand on its own, too.

      My friend and Sketchucation member David Heim did the editing and my sow's ear into a silk purse.

          Not that I'm aware of. They only ever talked about an eBook.

                Congratulations Dave. I know what a tremendous amount of work this represents. You have always been a consummate teacher, and always so willing to share.

                  I got myself Dave's first book. I don't do woodwork but I knew he'd cover native SU workflow techniques I would've been unfamiliar with.

                  Just grabbed a copy of this edition and as usual it's it's packed with pure gems of knowledge.

                  Best of luck with it Dave!

                                Hope I can get the DVD shipped down to Australia.

                                  I just noticed there is also a downloadable version of the DVD.

                                    Yes. that is a recent addition. The DVD is not the same content as the book, however. The DVD/video download is additional content to go along with some of the book but it will also stand on its own.

                                    Thanks for posting that link.

                                      I'd like to order a copy but am a bit confused. Does the eBook come on the DVD, or are these separate items?

                                      Sounds like there is somewhat different content on the eBook and video? Neither the Tauton store nor Amazon seem clear on this.

                                        Larry, the eBook is a direct download. It does not come on the DVD. The DVD is a collection of videos that show, in motion, some of the drawing steps in the book. The DVD is intended as a supplement to the eBook but it can stand alone as well.

                                        The DVD that is available through Amazon is a Basics video. Entirely different from the eBook and it's associated DVD.

                                          Ah, thanks. Sounds like the video download and eBook is the way to go for the "full meal deal" here. For my purposes, I'd rather not hassle with a physical DVD if the video content is the same. But when I'm in student mode, I do like having SU open on my main monitor, and an ebook on one side monitor and video on the other side monitor.

                                            But the video download is for the Basics--the same as the DVD offered on Amazon. The eBook is advanced methods. So the two side by side would be a bit confusing. There is a DVD for the advanced techniques, as well. Again, it is sort of a companion piece to the eBook. It is not a duplicate of the eBook.
