I can't help you with pipemaking, but as far as the videos on this site go, these are the ones I've seen
A glass makers pilgrimage through nature won't teach you any techniques at all. But it gives some insight into Stankard as a person/artist.
I have An Introduction to Venitian Techniques, but I haven't watched it yet, I guess I should do that and let you know how it is.
Contemporary Marbles is good if you don't know much about marbles yet and want to learn a bunch of techniques.
Flameworking is cool if you want to learn how to make a goblet/bowl. Only two demos on here, but it's cool.
Hot Glass workshop 1-vortex marbles teaches you just that, vortex marbles but if you don't know how to do them yet, get it.
Sculptural Glassworking 1 an introduction- is cool if you want to learn how to do a few different little sculptures.

That's all I've seen from that site. It looks like they have a lot more than they used to, I'll have to check a few out. I would suggest just ordering what interests you. It's not too expensive. I wish I could help you more, but I can't.

I have rented most of the glass videos from them. Fast service. Just like Netflix!

this site is great for renting from.. i've watched 8 or so..

essential lampworking is good for some hollow techniques, one of the best actual instructional videos out there, imo.
i'm not sure how the humbolt film videos are.. but.. they have them as well apparently.

You know this site also has some things you can rent. You have to be a subscriber to the library tho.
