Most books are poor quality. Some youtube videos are excellent. If you are interested in learning woodworking take a look at William Ng's work.
Video makers often feel a need to set up a background context for their work, which all too often means you have to listen to a talking head for three minutes before the real how-to-do-it action starts.
A medium that combined printed ascii text, still images, diagrams and embedded video would be vastly superior. It will happen.
I remember back in the 90s on usenet's comp.programming, when someone proposed a need for a browser ability to send messages back to the server without requiring a screen refresh (aka AJAX signaling) that person was besieged by a thousand reasons why that was a bad idea. The status quo has glue on its feet.
