For anyone who have not subscribed to Rob's method of making drawers....this will change how you do it forever. Not only is it the best way of making drawers, but his attention to detail will vastly improve how you woodwork moving forward. A piston fit drawer is, IMO, the most satisfying feeling.
I can’t speak for others but I’ll watch whatever length video you put out.
Yeah, really, same here. Kinda watching to learn so the more the better for me...
I truly enjoy learning from you. 20 to 30 minutes is a good length.
I agree this is a good time for a vidio
Perfect length.
Not being too simple. You are a great teacher. Not too fast and void of filler.
20-30 minutes is perfect. It allows you to expand a bit. Even things you’re repeating for the sake of newcomers is helpful to hear again in a different way.
totally
More towards the 30 - 40 minute. Seemed like you just got going and yer done. Just saying. Thank you. Very enjoyable indeed.
20 - 30 minutes would be great. Always enjoy and learn something new no matter how long, but longer is always better. Thanks Rob.
20 to 30 from you is like a gift from a great teacher
20 to 30 minutes has always been good for me! Thank you for your knowledge.
30 minutes is fine. To be honest you give so much information that if you did 4 hour videos, I would be glued to the screen. Thank you!
Rob I think the 20-30 minute length works for you because unlike others, when you repeat information for beginners it is concise and quick. It does not involve minutes of droning on remedial information. You have a talent for teaching that I really appreciate. Keep it up!
I think 30 minute videos are great! I watch them during my lunch break. I learn a lot with each video. Thanks!
My vote is 20 minutes per video. And thanks for doing this, Rob.
30 minutes is a good amount of time. Thanks for doing these videos.
Ya know... I’m sure this won’t be the popular opinion, but I wouldn’t mind if you keep the videos on the shorter side. I have REALLY been enjoying the daily installments, and I think them being concise and easily digestible is a big plus. I already get down on myself for spending so much time watching videos about woodwork when I could be actually woodworking myself. I don’t need any more help with that! Thanks for all the hard work Rob and Company!
You know Tom, I think you make a good point.
I know it's a year later, but I'm loving the longer, more detailed videos. I don't know any woodworkers in my area, so TH-camrs are my mentors.
My vote is always longer videos Rob, but beggars can’t be choosy and I’ll be more than happy with however you do them !
My vote is for 30 mins videos. Great stuff with explanation the details of grain direction on the sides of the drawer
Dear Rob, I always pick up something completely unexpected from your videos so don’t cut them short to meet a tight time schedule. I think 20 minutes hits the sweet spot of not too long and not pressured to complete tasks early. That’s my opinion.
Rice paper thin shavings - what a delight. When I was first able to produce them was when I felt like I was getting somewhere with plane sharpening and setup. Cheers.
"Wipe one way... You shouldn't have to ask why" lol
30 minute videos, but I like that you take the time to explain why you do things they way you do.
Thank you, again, Rob, for giving so generously of your time.
20 minutes is the sweet spot for me. Great vid.
Teaching to the LCD (lowest common denominator) is the best for all skill levels. It’s great for beginners hearing fir the first time. It’s great for veterans for some refresher. And, 30 minutes is great!
20 to 30 min is ideal for me, thank you for doing this.
20-30 minutes is great. I like the details. Thanks Rob.
Make the videos any length you want. It’s your time you are giving us. I will be watching.
Thank you for putting on these videos.
Absolutely correct.
I enjoy learning from you and I appreciate the way you describe tips, techniques and tools. I know watching your videos I will be able to understand and appreciate everything you say. 20 minutes would be great. Thank you for your service Sir.
20 to 30 is good. Love learning all I can from these videos. Thank you.
Thanks for all you do during these hard times. It’s great to see all the hand tools, almost all the woodworking shows are FULL of Rikon tools, I know they provide them for free for advertising purposes and no doubt they perform well. I do know that not too many people could afford that amount of money to outfit a shop just sustain a hobby, it’s great to that you show people how to do it on a limited budget and all with hand tools. May God bless you for all you for the PHP.
thank you Carl, it is both an honor and a privilege.
30...But I could literally watch and learn from you all day long!
Your comment “I hope I don’t run out of wood” is spot on. Welcome to my world, Rob.
Excellent video and no it’s not to simple, very comprehensive, the reminders for us that do not do this every day are greatly appreciated. I agree with the others, 20-30 minutes.
Great video. Short videos around 5 to 10 minutes are great for just a single tip or trick. The longer format, 20 to 25 minute, multi-part videos that demonstrate and showcase a wide variety of skills and procedures involved in the production of a complex object are just the right length. I really enjoy seeing you explain all the somewhat ancillary steps involved in producing a drawer box. for example, you were demonstrating how to plane the inside face of the drawer sides but you also included the ruler trick for polishing the back of the iron and the wax on the sole. They are great tips that, while not absolutely necessary, are a welcome addition to help me advance my skills.
Thank you for your video. 20 to 35 mins is good for me with longer videos in between. Enjoyed the lesson.
I like the 20-25minute videos myself. Thanks for the entertainment these days!
Thanks for all that you do Rob. I think 30 - 40 minutes works good for me.
Rob, your work is an art. I would not dare to tell you how long your lesson should be. Any length is perfect. Thank you.
Videos could be a little longer but no more than 30-35 minutes, I enjoy your down to earth style of speech and detailed explanation of everything you are doing. Even when you are covering things that I think I already know, I always discover a new nugget of information. Thanks Rob...Especially for the PHP.
Really enjoy these videos. Thanks Rob and your team. 30-45 minutes would be my preference.
Rob, Great video as always. 20 minutes for me is perfect. But, 30 is good as well. Past that, my natural ADD takes over. I have recommended this series to several beginners that look to me for advice. You are not letting me down. Thanks, I still learn something , too.
30 minutes is great for me, thanks Rob
Long story made interminable: I'd been planing boards out of square for months and it was driving me crazy. I had always looked down the sole of the plane to see when the plane began to protrude in order to set the lateral adjustment lever, just a Mr Cosman says at around 18:25, but I had been looking from the heel to the toe, as I thought I remembered another TH-cam woodworking channel recommending. No matter how I tried, I couldn't figure out why I was planing boards out of square, but I kept suspecting it was about lateral adjustment. A few days ago, before I saw this video, I tried looking down the sole of the plane from the toe, as Mr Cosman does in this video, and the whole thing became clear. It's just easier to see the blade from the toe; the edge of the iron projecting towards you makes it a much sharper view. When viewed that way, I could see how my adjustment from the opposite end of the plane was off. I would have saved a lot of planing if I had seen this video when it came out.
I agree that 30-40 minutes would be ideal for most topics. Given how detailed you get in your instructions, at some point you should refer to your goto sharpening video so that you can save time for your primary topic. I look forward to your instruction videos. You keep me coming back for more. Thanks.
Outstanding teacher and video 👍👍 Such a privilege watching and listening to you. 10 is too short. 20-30 minutes is great.
I’d watch any length video you saw fit to make, always enjoyable to watch you work.
I enjoy 30 minutes ...but will appreciate whatever you do
Would that all "teachers" had your gift for teaching. Given the quarantined nature of things, I could watch you as long as you felt like working. Many thanks.
I think 20 minutes or so is just about perfect.
Great job, you are one of the best teacher i have seen any where. If I had teachers like you when I was in school I would have not quit school an went to the NAM for sure 30min is cool
Can watch any videos you put out no matter the length, but longer is better, love learning hand tool skills.
Hi Rob. Sorry to be "Johnny-come-lately" to this video series, but 20-30 minute videos from you are an easy watch because they are so informative. Me personally, I could handle 35 minutes, but that's me. There's not a lot of random chatter in your work, but even when your comments slightly stray, it's still usually something that I learn from. Your videos have greatly improved my woodworking knowledge and I'm working hard to have it show up in my output. Keep it coming~!!
20 min. videos. Really enjoying the series - I continue to learn from you.
I love it. This is the second video I see from you. The explanation is wonderful, clear, and very educational. I love the approach of making this drawer fit like a glove all season around.
Thanks for the comment. You should check out my online workshop at robcosman.com
My vote is longer .... the more Cosman the better
30 minutes. WE WANT MORE ROB!!!
I thank you very much for this or any series, as we endure this horrifying time.
I could watch all day.
Make the videos as long as you want, sharing any information or knowledge is priceless and welcomed. It's easier to skip over a few minutes of things you already know than not having the knowledge. Thanks for sharing, excellent video.
Huge THANKS to Rob, Jake, and the rest of the crew for producing these daily videos and the Saturday live sessions. They'd be wonderful videos anytime, but they're really helping me maintain a positive attitude these days. I'm a vet (not wounded thank goodness), too, so I also really appreciate your PHP efforts. You guys are the best!
Just do it til it's FINISHED. I enjoy just watching an EXPERT at work. I learn better when it goes with out any Part 2 or 3.
Sir, you are a master at what you do. I enjoyed watching the video with my son.
It has been awhile since I have used my Planes...Was a student in a couple of your classes at Springfield Va...Then followed you when you were finishing the bench and starting on the large case that you used to store your tools. I shifted to' turning' but this Pandemic is giving me the opportunity to refresh my box making skills. I really appreciate your PPH program...I am a Vietnam Vet 67-68. Returned home in one piece but many did not. I worked for the USArmy for a whole civilian career and fully understand the good work that you and your family are doing. THANKS. As to your question on the length of each show I like 30 minutes ...BUT it should be twenty minutes of material during the thirty minute period. As opposed to Thirty minutes of material during a twenty minute show. Hope that makes sense...Barry Frankel, Crofton Maryland
10 to 15 Minute videos are good for me. I find that it is easier to follow and not lose focus on the process. Thank You for all you do for the woodworking community. It is appreciated!
You can make the vids as long as you like for me. I am making an alcove cabinet to tide me over this confinement. But for the virus it would have been delivered by now. I do a bit, then seek out my TH-cam regulars to fill the rest of the day. These are surreal times indeed. Thanks for posting.
Thanks again Rob. I am a fan of the 20 minute length but will watch whatever he viewers choose. As a frequent viewer the plane blade was a little redundant for me but still informative. Keep on smiling.
The longer the better. Your love for what you do makes me want to keep watching.
Rob for the purist in me i want you to do 2hr long + videos, makers like yourself and paul sellers are there to be enjoyed and revered whilst your here. I'm not an arse kisser far from it but you have the experience and the knowledge to impart to us wannabes imagine if thomas chippendale was able to do video? mate you make them as long as you can for as long as you can because if this coronavirus has shown us life can be cut dead in an instant. You are a great guy with a great family and work ethic, an inspiration to myself and millions of others and i appreciate everything you do. LONGER SIR love from the UK
I have watched several of your videos and learn something every time. Please continue with the detailed commentary. I don't thing half hour is too long.
20 - 30 minutes Rob! Love it!
Hi Rob, aim for 20 minutes then with a little Rob Cosman overrun they will run the perfect length. I could watch your videos all day but I do want to go to my shop and put your advice into practice. Happy with the level you are pitching at too, never hurts to have things reinforced if I’ve heard it before. Thanks again
30 min seems about right - enjoying the journey - it's really the best part. The journey is where the marrow resides, the problem solving, learning. Where the craft happens.
Awesome teaching, all the time! Between 20-30 minutes is great, so no one will loose focus. Always too much info to learn, which is what I love.
Thanks for being so considerate to those of us who don't learn so quickly.
30 min plus. You the man, Rob!
I’m somewhat of a beginner and I think the 20 to 30 minute range is the perfect dose for information retention. Thank you Sir!
Longer the better!
20-25 minutes is perfect. Those of us that follow you are locked in! If you go a little long, I don't care...
You give such great detail to your process, (such a good teacher) that anything shorter and you'd never get to actually building the drawer!!! lol Greetings from the deep south
Thanks for doing these videos. I think 20-30 minutes is best.
longer the better as I am learning lots
thank you Rob
Give us an entire day in the shop. You’re the best. Hands down! I can’t get bored, when I’m learning from the best
Rob, take the time you need! Your attention to detail and the way you teach it rather than just do it is invaluable. We have the ability to make it as short as we want by the scroll bar. If you have more to say, then say it! Every one of these episodes is gold. Great job, Jake - these are excellently shot.
20-30 minutes. Love these!
Thanks Rob. I like the 30 minute videos.
Great instruction and nice length for the video. I would watch longer videos as well. Thanks for this daily series!
10 minutes is gone before you know it so between 20 & 30 is great. That plane makes a beautiful sound.
30 is good. I stop and start to make any notes or refer back, so it's all fine. Excellent tuition. Thankyou
thanks Rob for putting such informative info together - seeing this in real life speed not cut-and-compress really is insightful into the techniques that many other content producers don't pass on like you have. As for time.... I'd watch all day, but 30 min chunks max works for me. But I've sat thru your 2 hour live sessions after the fact (AU timexone so I get to watch it at 1.25 speed :) )and haven't been bored
This was so helpful. Thanks. I like 30 minute videos.
30 mins. Great series. Thank you!
Rob - As always I'll gleefully watch whatever length video you produce. But I vote for about 30 minutes (+/- 10 min).
30 minutes!!! Even more. Your my unofficial mentor. Thank you.
Your basic hand plane descriptions are excellent t. Thanks for the help.
Videos are great. Time goes quickly watching while learning. Time of the videos should be judged by you and the amount of information you need to convey so the following video in the series can begin at another specific process. Stay healthy, stay inside. We all appreciate these videos.
Thanks for doing these short videos. Hope your staying safe
It's nice to have a variety of video lengths depending on the complexity of the topic and how deeply you want to dive into it!
you are really good at talking, didn't want to skip any part, even longer than 30min could work
I really like the long format videos that TH-cam has tried to move creators away from. That way it doesn't feel rushed and more information gets communicated. 30 minutes or longer is good for me.
You are very thorough and understandable in your explanations. Thank you.
Nice to hear
Its a joy to learn from you. the longer the better.
30 minutes is the perfect length, thanks!
as long you make videos, and you don't add some crazy video editing, some super annoyed sounds is abs amazing. Is you and paul sellers that just make video for wood and the attention is on the wood, not some audio, video editing and marketing.
