In this David Marks Gallery Tour you’ll see David’s wood boiling apparatus (used for drying out turnings), and his art gallery. David recently added an additional two-story building to his property and dedicated it to displaying his various turnings and furniture pieces all for the enjoyment of his students, visitors, and guests. The gallery contains many beautiful pieces by David as well as other amazing woodworkers. David also keeps his drum set in there and he caps off the tour by showing us his skills on the drums! And believe it or not, we have a few outtakes!

David recently released his new Scrapers DVD. It contains everything you need to know to properly sharpen card scrapers, cabinet scrapers, and gooseneck scrapers. This is a process that should be easy, yet many woodworkers struggle with getting just the right edge. David’s techniques and explanations really help demystify the process. I watched the DVD a few weeks ago and I instantly felt like I was watching a new episode of Woodworks (only more REAL!) You can pick the DVD up here.

Hey Marc!
Dave’s stuff is too cool. Seeing this and your stuff REALLY makes me regret not getting into woodworking when I was in high school.

I’ve still got the itch, but now, not so much time. Thanks for letting me live vicariously through ya.

later bro!

Nice interview! It’s fun to watch people that take woodworking to a whole different level.

I’m disappointed the 55 gallon drum didn’t have a gilded, patina finish.

Seriously, that was yet another great installment. Thanks, Marc.

And David is pretty good at spanking the plank. Those simple licks would be unachievable by most heavy metal drummers. (Neil Peart excluded.)

I think it very cool a man as talented as he is can be such a humble person. He is the real thing!

FYI, David can’t do anything to get Wood Works on DVD. The show is owned by Scripps and they control it completely. David told me he has asked Scripps about releasing the show on DVD and they are simply not interested.

It must be great doing something that you love. I suspect Dave’s artistic talent is just a bonus. Cheers

  And I’ve been a student of Malcolm’s at David’s shop. And what these two do with their minds and with their hands will propel me in my next career (retired aspiring intermediate hobbyist woodworker) to great things that I can only imagine at this time. I am blessed to have witnessed the “Greats” doing their stuff!!

Hey Mark,
I’m Just kinda venturing into woodworking. Just found your podcast and I’m learning all sorts watching it. Way better than anything on TV. One thing I’d really like to learn is inlays. I got a general idea about how it’s done, but I’m sure there’s hundreds of things to keep in mind and different options to go with. Maybe you could do an episode on that, called “Inlays the Game”…or not. Anyway love the podcast, keep it up.

I can’t believe that living in Saskatchewan I had never heard of micheal Hosaluk until David mentioned his name. Then again being from Canada I had no idea who David Marks was until discovering your podcasts.
