    Any super novice DVD's?

    I never took shop class or had anyone around to teach me about woodworking. I am doing pretty good so far and have put in some nice moulding in our kitchen that I have been told looks really good, but I'd like to find a DVD in which they go over the basics. By basics I mean SQUARE ONE.

    I want to learn everything I can, but I want to learn the right way so that I don't pick up bad habits trying to figure out stuff on my own and so that I am not doing things the hard way.

    I'm one of those guys who over analyzes things and sometimes I look for a hard way to do something easy.

    Anyways, do you guys know of any good DVD's(I say DVD's because I like watching and seeing how things move and work) that are like high school woodshop tutorials? I watched the BT3100 dvd and it wasn't that great.

    Thanks alot for any replies!

    Some idea's

    First, in my opinion, start at your local library! Some of mine have been great, some not so, but your tax dollars at work, so use it.
    Second, while you say the BT3100 dvd isn't that great (never seen it, disclaimer), it is designed more for setup, and how to use the tool safely (what is more basic then that). Once you have your tool set up, then you can move to others; places have been mentioned here before, like http://technicalvideorental.com/ .
    Your local adult education classes, can sometimes hook you up with a local woodworking/support group, and even some local colleges (a coworker started going to an art college, the person in charge of the shop, gets a thrill helping people because most "have an artistic vision" and want no help).
    Post a wanted in the classifieds here,
    Ebay (but most will be old vhs)

      Thanks for the reply. The dvd with the bt3100 actually shows some basic cuts(rip, cross, bevel) in addition to setting up saw. Very brief on that though.

      I tried that video rental link and it looks pretty cool, I might give it a shot. Thanks again for the reply.
