Woodfinishing Video In The Pipeline
This is the original DVD case cover art. I’m leaving the front pretty much alone but reworking the back extensively.
One of the ongoing headaches(?) has been the inability to resupply my inventory for the historic woodfinishing video F&W Media (PopWood) produced several years ago, which I had available on the donsbarn.com website store. The new company that now owns PopWood discontinued the hard copies of the DVD and no longer even had “new old stock” copies in the warehouse. After some back-and-forth the new company released the video to me gratis, for which I am most appreciative. At Handworks 2023 the editor-in-chief made a point of confirming our earlier correspondence; my F&W videos were now my intellectual property to use as I saw fit.
The urgency of me acting on this came to a head a few months ago when my final copy was sold. Since then I have been noodling the revisions of the original DVD cover and am now ready to send it off for reproduction after I let it ruminate for a couple days. While the DVD content was now my property I had no desire to disavow F&W from the picture as they truly deserve all the credit for producing it in the first place. Thus I am keeping the bones of the original packaging, crediting F&W, but revising the content a fair bit to re-brand it as a Barn on White Run product.
As soon as I get copies into my hands I will be fulfilling the two dozen orders that have been sitting in my “Pending” folder.
Any possibilities about a new batch of Mel’s Wax? I bought a jar in your first batch and still have a small amount left but wouldn’t mind getting another jar. :) I understand the difficulties you had with the lack of interest in it, but it really fits the bill at specific moments. I recently finished repairing an old (and previously repaired) rocking chair and I couldn’t imagine using any other wax on it. I knew there was a reason why I hadn’t yet used it. Just waiting for the right project.
What will the price be on the new finishing DVDs?
Thanks much.
$35, same as before.
