I have recently bought a router: never used one before. To learn about them I searched Google and found numerous articles and some Youtube videos. I want to have another look at them They were a series of videos on basic routing techniques - particulalry making jigs - I think 8 of them each about 4 mins longs. They all started with an advert page (I think for a woodworking magazine) -- and then "Hello, my name is ......" The problem is I cannot find them, I did not note the magazine title or the blokes name. (He was 50-60 grey hair and glasses) Anyone know of these specific videos please?

There are many very good woodworking channels on youtube - well worth using the subscribe capability to keep track of those you watch.
Here are some good ones to get you started:
Alain Vaillancourt (aka the woodpecker) Nice results from a power tool biased small workshop, high video production values.
AskWoodMan (aka Allan Little) Jobbing furniture maker with mostly power tool bias. Does lots of long video series on projects from start to finish.
frank howarth Hobby woodworker with a impressive workshop - very high production values in his videos with very inventive use of stop frame animation, and clever camera rigs etc.
izzy swan Former professional woodworker - very inventive and creative with jigs are workshop setups. Have you ever seen someone turn a bowl or make a bowling ball on a table saw?
John Heisz Again nice informative step by step videos. Technique and project based.
Laney Shaughnessy As above
Matt Vanderlist Well produced quite slow paced videos - well explained for entry level woodworkers.
Matthias Wandel Seriously clever designer of weird and wonderful jigs and woodworking machines. Lots of designs available for download and purchase in some cases. Lots of router stuff.
Paul Sellers Very well produced videos for traditional hand tool work (only power tool I have ever seen him use is a cordless drill). But if you want clear explanations of the basics of cabinet making and joinery by hand, he is your guy.
Steve Ramsey Very down to earth project based vids (aka Wood Working for Mere Mortals). Aimed at those with smaller tools sets looking for simpler ways of doing things. Does a new project every week
The Wood Whisperer (aka Marc Spagnolo) Very high production values and in depth videos on all sorts of (mainly machine) based wood work. Also has paid for "guild" membership and videos that go into exquisite detail on a project. High end results.
ThisWoodwork (formerly the "Teen Woodworker") UK based young chap working from his mum's garage, interesting to watch his technique and results grow with time.
WoodworkersJournal Mainly a promo for the magazine, but has some nice one off bits on particular techniques or jigs.
WoodWorkWeb Nicely produced detailed vids by a hobby woodworker.
