English | ISO | 4.36GB Genre: eLearning
'Parkour Journeys' is a compilation DVD featuring all-new Parkour documentaries, Parkour running techniques, short films and comedy from award-winning filmmakers.

Most experienced traceurs think of Parkour as a discipline closer to martial arts. According to REFO, "the physical aspect of Parkour is getting over all the obstacles in your path as you would in an emergency. You want to move in such a way, with any movement, as to help you gain the most ground on someone or something, whether escaping from it or chasing toward it."
Frame and Panel Construction with Graham Blackburn - Fine Woodworking DVD Workshop
English | XviD 2000 kbps | 640x480 | 29.97 fps | MP3 128 kbps | 40 min | 604MB Genre: eLearning
Frame-and-panel construction is a fundamental strategy in woodwork, because it can accommodate woods inevitable seasonal expansion and shrinkage.
In this DVD, Graham Blackburn tackles the basic frame. He explains the functions and design opportunities of stiles, rails, and muntins and shows you how to combine them into a frame. He also shows you how to think out the proportions of the frame parts and their relation to the panel they contain.
Working with both classic hand tools and common woodworking machines, Blackburn joins his frame members with mortises and haunched tenons. He shows you how to get a perfect match between the mortises and the grooves that take the panel, and also demonstrates drawboring -- a traditional method of making tight joints in a frame, without glue.
