Idea: Video Assembly Instructions

Cool

That would be awesome in reverse

This is a good idea.
With the Vixen videos, I felt pretty confident after a couple of hours playing around  [Seems like I shouldn't type that]

[REM]

I kinda wondered if it would be useful but a few things stopped me:

1. I'm still a relative beginner so I'd prolly do or say something wrong
2. Some of the videos could be quite long and rather boring although you could edit out long sequences of soldering a bunch of the same component like FS rj-45s or LE dip sokets
3. Youtube limits the video length (but I guess other sites may work like Vimeo with some caveats)
4. I hate the sound of my voice  like most people

I like this idea too.  I know the Vixen videos were great for me too as I am learning about this whole process.  The pictures in the manuals are good and are better than 1000 words, but videos are better than 1,000,000 words.   

As far as captions vs. narration, you could always do both.  Those that didn't want to listen and just read could just hit mute (I am assuming that closed captioning would not be an issue).  If you made a mistake in narration, you could always clarify in the caption what you meant to say.  I guess I see it as the best of both worlds and not limiting your audience.
