I know from some of my other endeavors that you can spend a lot of time learning bad habits and then have to spend more time unlearning them.
Much of the info on utube looks like it belongs on someones personal blog rather than broadcast to the world. I've seen a few vids where they were touting themselves as experts but from my limited knowledge they didn't seem to know what they were talking about. In one vid the person doing the hewing and conducting the workshop said that he had not sharpened his axe since he got it and that it did not need to be sharp since he was cutting with the grain. Now I'm rather new at this but I doubt that could be true.
