After producing my first video yesterday, I have spent 2 days trying to get google to upload it. They seem to be overwhelmed with uploads of people doing really stupid things so there is no bandwidth left for uploading educational videos. So today, I tried something different.
I spent hours trying to find good DIY videos on Google-video so I could add them to my site. The majority of DIY videos on Google video are by expertvillage. I don’t know who qualifies as an expert in that village but it must be anyone (even the village idiot). Some of their videos are down right wrong and the comment reflect that. I found a couple good ones but the bulk are a waste of bandwidth.
There are also 114 videos from askthebuilder. These are high quality videos, informative and professional. You can’t go wrong with one of these videos. I hope that my videos are as good as askthebuilder.
I found a handful of other instructional videos but that is about it. I have added a video section to the website that shows the better videos. I hope this will save my readers the time required reviewing hundred of worthless un-educational video with the hope of finding a good one. If you want to see gag video like exploding toilets then go directly to Google video, they have an unlimited supply.

Yes, anyone can be a Village Idiot, especially on video!
Video can be tough to do, I have seen the AskTheBuilder series and they really are top notch.
