We're kinda proud of them, but we're always open to improvements. That's where you come in. Please send us your feedback — as well as requests for videos you'd like us to produce. Thanks. 

Gary, no offense intended, but I think Handy's sense of priorities is a bit skewed.  If basic functions of the forums like "Search" worked, I might have time to watch the videos and give some feedback.  JMO.

·      AMEN!!! to what Bob G said!

I hear you about the basic functions with the site. They frustrate me, and all I can do is what you do with your feedback. In the meantime, I go with what I've got and will not let the shortcomings of the site distract me (usually) from the greater good we have here, that of members helping members. The videos are one way (that I can control) of helping members .

Gary L.,

Don't get me wrong here about your videos.  I'm sure they would be helpful to some.

They are limited to what you see and does not lend to discussions and options.

I watched your video on coil electrical cords and I think I would have gained as much knowledge reading about it in HANDY.  Which way is subjective to be cost effective; videos vs articles which can be set aside and refered to more easly later. And reach more subscribers to HANDY who may past that issue(s) on to others.  That's why many of us keep and store HANDY and other's that we enjoy gaining new insite into the woodworking/handyman life many of us lead to stay happy.  Others garden, hunt and golf...etc.

You did ask for opinions....?

I like the videos.  I Re-hab houses for a living and need to know about a lot of different things.  It never fails:  Every new house presents an opportunity to learn something new.  It's nice to have basic knowledge of something when I run into it and I can get some of that knowledge from the videos.

An easy way to search the site for more-in depth info would be nice.  Admittedly, I have not searched since the site was modified.  That's because I gave up on the searches and found a better place to get info.  I'll do a search now and see if it's any better.........

We're spread thin here but would like to do more videos, perhaps a series on this and that. Takes time to build up the staff and resources.

The videos are found in the From Handy section (see top navigation bar). One of my concerns is that they are hard to find.

DCRANE, welcome and thanks. Check out the New Members section of the forum.

Hey; How about an answer here. I think it's a legit question. And I would think that after 2 months you could come up with some sort of an answer.

Lets see; bob,bompa,bikebuilder and afs got a reply in 6 days, zipper got an answer in 1 day, bikebuilder[again] and dcrane within 3 more days.

Just curious here, does anyone really know anything about the products in the videos or are they just there to take up space and make things look good?

HHAHN, obviously I have not check this for a while. I'm splitting duties once again. My apologies. Yes, that was an omission on the video's part. My understanding is water strengthens the bond, so you are right, it would not be as strong. On the directions of the bottle I'm holding, it says to dampen one surface with water. For dense hardwoods, lightly dampen both surfaces prior to gluing. Hope this helps.

Also, HHAHN, the avatar ....

Gary,

That video on setting a commode in 1 hour sure lacked a bunch of do's and don'ts.

If that was designed for the home owner it should have started with the take-out and the various problems that could be encountered.  Was that your film crew and director?  They did show how well the soda straws worked.

Over all I'd give it a D-
