[@DavidJMarks]

What projects are you working on right now?

[@brycegamble1385]

Making my first coffee table and a series of mallets for myself and some aspiring maker friends

[@franklinjames1113]

Working on a turned urn for my brother who I lost in November.

[@brl3900]

Just some dividers for some storage drawers, to better organize my shop clutter....lol

Large live edge walnut horseshoe desk with one section for work and one for play.

[@scottellis9630]

the chessboard you built on woodworks..

[@woodwhisperer]

This is so awesome to see, David. If it weren’t for you, there’d be no Wood Whisperer. Thank you for being my mentor!

[@scottellis9630]

I was inspired the same time as you mark. changed me forever ..

[@DavidJMarks]

Hey Marc,Thanks very much buddy! You will laugh at my learning curve but I actually answered you and a dozen other people last week but it turns out that nothing was posted because I wasn't signed in to my KZbin channel, hahahaha.Marc,I want to thank You for all of your amazing contributions to the cause of educating people about the satisfaction of building furniture and accessories out of wood! I will continue my own education in attempting to learn computers so that I can self shoot and edit more woodworking and woodturning content for my channel.Any and all advice to help me with my Mac computer education is welcome.I'm currently spending hours surfing KZbin to learn how to move my videos from my iPhone (which has run out of space) to my Mac desktop in order to move them to a backup hard driver.Once I have created some space,I will be able to shoot New videos.

[@aaronleeper8664]

@woodwhisperer without you the modern woodworking seen would be much different. You single handedly introduced hybrid woodworking to the average shop. @davidjmarks thank you so much for offering this content on KZbin. Woodworks was an amazing show introducing contemporary woodworking at a time when that information was not readily available. It's amazing what you were able to pack into a sub half hour show.

[@JesusvonNazaret]

this reminds me on the 90s, good old days...

[@seamus7227]

David, I know it's been said a million times, but these videos are so informative and exactly what I'm looking for to be able to create Fine pieces of work! It was nice to see you use one of my favorite tools, the scroll saw! 😉 i made a mahogany table to go over a toilet, instead of buying a cheap particle board kit from the big box stores, and while my table is pretty, I find this video teaches me how to improve on the quality. So maybe one day i will rebuild it using these same steps! Meanwhile, i just need to get back to scrolling my quarters😂. Thank you again for all that you have done in the woodworking community!

[@DavidJMarks]

Seamus,you very welcome ! I have seen some of your photos of the scrollsaw work that you do on coins.Your work is like a Jeweler,very fine details! Thanks for your kind comments.

[@marks.2814]

Awesome video, I can remember watching your videos on TV. Your a very inspirational person, totally loved your show. Nice to see you have put a video out lately! I hope you're doing well and that you consider putting up more videos!!

[@jpkanter1]

Thank you, thank you, thank you

[@DavidJMarks]

You are very Welcome!!

[@daviddarcy2052]

I watched all of your shows back in the day; wondering why you wore the long sleeve shirts. I found out later at a class; our picture is hanging in my shop. Thanks for all your inspiration!

[@DavidJMarks]

Hey David,yeah,they didn't want the viewers to see my tattoos,hahaha.How times have changed!

[@jbratt]

I went from having a circular saw, a router, a straight edge and a miter saw that I was able to build furniture in my garage. Along came this show about that time. Twenty years later I have a shop full of tools, inspiration, and knowledge from this show to continue to get better with every project. Thank you for what you have done and posting these shows for future woodworkers.

[@tuscarorawoodworks4713]

Thank you so much for doing this! It's been so long since I've seen WoodWorks! I used to DVR each episode and pause to take notes. At the time, I had been working in IT for close to 20 years and was longing to leave and start my own thing. When I finally got the courage to resign in 2013, I started Tuscarora WoodWorks here on the Tuscarora Nation (a sovereign Native territory located near Niagara Falls, NY). You have been a huge inspiration to me over the years, I even bought the DVDs of WoodWorks and named my business after it, Thank you for all the great work you've done over the years. I wouldn't be here right now without out, celebrating over 10 years in business!

[@DavidJMarks]

Hey Murisa and Robert,I'm very happy for you two and so glad to hear that my show inspired you both to start your own business! That's such great News! All the Best to you!!

[@tuscarorawoodworks4713]

Thank you David! All the best to you and your family as well!

[@slanwar]

I have good memories watching woodworks with my dad.

[@rayclark8773]

Thanks for putting these up, David. It's worth the time and effort to make these easily available to a new generation.

[@DavidJMarks]

Thanks Ray,I appreciate your comment!

[@rustednutworkshop]

Seeing these videos coming to KZbin makes me so happy. Brings back great memories of watching this with friends and family (some of them no longer with us.) Thanks for sharing these gems!

[@DavidJMarks]

Thanks very much for your kind comments my friend!

[@jameskelly1680]

What a quality show after all these years. Thank you for the inspiration. This is an heirloom that will last for generations.

[@DavidJMarks]

You are too kind James! Thanks very much my friend!

[@JMAWWorks]

While I was raised on 2 other classic wworking tv shows, and have heard this show referenced repeatedly, this is the first time I’ve had a chance to watch. After just one episode, I already see what the fuss is about and look forward to seeing them as you release.

[@cedarbear1]

You’re an inspiration David…and a blast from the past!!! Thanks!!!!!!

[@slhasebroock]

David, great to see the WoodWorks projects again. Thank you for posting on YT!

[@Hawk89gt]

I watched everyone of them, and had recorded many to DVD (although not sure wher ethey are now). Still think it was the best, instructive woodworking show there was.

[@gregjurrens9461]

I basically learned fine woodworking from woodworks. What a great show. Visited your shop a few times and enjoyed it immensely. Hope you post more.

[@henrysara7716]

Beautiful woodwork.

[@DavidJMarks]

Thanks Henry!

[@CCoburn3]

I LOVED that series. I couldn't afford any of the woods you used, but I could use the techniques you taught. I wish you'd make a new version of this series.

[@CaddoCreekWoodworks]

I had just started woodworking as a hobby when your show came out. I couldn't wait for the next episode and still have them on DVDs that I recorded. I even got to meet you once at a Woodcraft meet up in Dallas back in the day. You were a great inspiration and I just wanted to say thanks.

[@TimRobertsonWoodturning]

Thank you for sharing, I have missed the shows and so glad to see them again. I know I will learn much more now that I can watch the episodes again.

[@DavidJMarks]

Thanks very much Tim! I hope to learn video editng and to be able to create some videos on woodturning !

[@TimRobertsonWoodturning]

@@DavidJMarks, that will be great. I enjoy woodturning and do some video editing using DaVinci Resolve. Feel free to send a PM anytime.

[@DavidJMarks]

Thanks very much Tim.I'm using iMovie now to edit and in time I will have new content up.@@TimRobertsonWoodturning

[@franklinjames1113]

Great to see these posted David! I have several of your DVD's but prefer being able to watch on KZbin.

[@JK-je7qz]

This is me. I have the DVDs but I'll watch these more often. My laziness knows no bounds! ;)

[@grantman1148]

David, thanks for putting these out. I never caught them when they were broadcast. So glad to have made the connection.

[@mikeb.3735]

I learned so much from these episodes back in the day. I'm very excited about revisiting them!

[@gregm2181]

This brought back so many good memories! I learned more from WoodWorks than anything else, whether it was basics like wood movement, little tricks, and then was inspired by a ton of the more advanced techniques. Things like inlays, double-bevel marquetry, patination, and so much more. Thank you! Both for then and now.

[@DavidJMarks]

hey there Greg,I'm so very glad to hear how much you liked my early shows! I hope to create new shows with more on woodturning and inlays!

[@dnthasslehoff]

Thank you for sharing this I’ve always admired your designs

[@PROJECT-jn5cq]

It’s about time! Thanks for sharing your talent!

[@dalleger]

Sometimes I wonder how I learned so much stuff over the years... little tidbits I've passed on to my apprentice and things I just do. Seeing this reminds me that I learned a lot of this from you! Thank you!

[@miscellaneousHandle]

what a wonderful thing to do, putting up these shows for all

[@matthewehrlich4977]

Thank you so much for posting this to the public- you have been, and continue to be, an inspiration and benchmark for what I would love to become as a woodworker. Thank you, David.

[@travisg1759]

My very first miter sled was based on yours with that big hardwood fence and I still use it today.

[@scottellis9630]

1st one i ever saw.. along with cutting cove moulding on the table saw , and the infamous, multi-router

[@mariosenestraro4161]

I appreciate being able to watch these again so much!😎👌🙌

[@jwardcomo]

Been waiting a long time. Thanks!!

[@raygarcia-fla]

Awesome David. Look forward to each episode. Hope you’re doing well.

[@DavidJMarks]

Thanks very much!

[@jeffwylie3821]

Very glad your videos are now on KZbin! I watched these back in the day as a young pup and was mesmerized at the techniques, tools and high-end quality outcome of each piece. Bravo again, Mr. Marks. Your legacy continues to live on. 👍

[@brl3900]

Thanks for sharing on KZbin, I miss seeing your show on tv!

[@KAPWoodworks]

You and this show got me started in woodworking. Thank you for inspiring us

[@orbit308]

I'm glad you are posting these. They are the best🤘

[@michaellamore2831]

What a pioneer. Thank you

[@jpedetson8945]

This show was my Saturday night, every week. I remember back then thinking, I will never get a collection of tools like that - funny the things we gather over 20+ years...lol I bought some quilted maple back when watching these, and still have it, it costs so much compared to what my income was, I was afraid to ruin it.

[@careymitchell4731]

Thanks for coming back - its been a looong time !

[@InfamousTactical]

This show inspired me to begin woodworking. And also enlightened me to the natural beauty of wood and exotic woods

[@ManyHats-Woodshop]

This is so awesome! Thanks for uploading them.

[@stevehogg]

You introduced me to exotic woods. Thank you!

[@DavidJMarks]

My pleasure,exotic woods are Awesome!

[@bigal3189]

I loved watching your shows... I feel like a lot of people give credit to diresta for using a pencil with an eraser on a crosscut sled...but youre the og!

[@DavidJMarks]

Thanks my friend!

[@travisg1759]

Whoa! Who's that little kid doing your show? :D Thanks David! Loved your show and the beautiful projects and all the big words I had to go look up. Patination, Medullary Ray Fleck, etc.

[@DavidJMarks]

Hahaha, hey Travis,thanks for your fun comments!

[@johnhopen]

So good to hear the title music and then go through these episodes again!! Magic stuff DJM!! 👍🏼💪🏼😎

[@DavidJMarks]

Hahaha,Thanks Broski! We'll catch up soon!

[@RobHortn]

Oh man, this is great to see - feels like going home. These videos were my inspiration for woodworking!

[@DavidJMarks]

Hey Rob,thanks very much Man!!

[@TJLTURF]

Thank you

[@thomascollins72]

Thank you for sharing these videos.

[@grantnelson7717]

I love the basic tool approach - even the eraser end of a pencil!

[@Acornhouseworkshop]

I'd forgotten that you started out using the router for mortises. I remember the horizontal mortise machine with the moveable table. (How I covered that! Still do.)

[@DavidJMarks]

yeah,I tried to show several differnet ways of accomplishing joinery because I knew that very few people had a Multi-Router.

[@andrewbetschman3175]

David i would put the season and episode number on the title of each uploaded video.

[@DavidJMarks]

Thanks Andrew,we are working on that.

[@martymarqueterie]

Last project : A country house library

[@benjaminbrewer2154]

Who is we or who is the team?

[@benjaminbrewer2154]

Probably the camera crew, producer, and production. Not used to seeing made for television video on KZbin. But this is well produced. Thank you for releasing it.

[@DavidJMarks]

We had a full crew to produce the show Benjamin.There were 5 people on the set which is my shop : the Producer,camera man,sound guy,assistant producer and a person keeping notes.
