Your wikipedia link prompted me to search for “woodworking shows” and then I saw the name “Roy Underhill”.

Thanks a ton!

This was a straight up no frills woodworking type show. It was almost like The New Yankee Workshop, only not. The guy did a lot of old school stuff too -- where Norm Abram would use biscuits to join two pieces, this guy would do dovetail joints instead, and he wouldn't have some power tool to do it for him. It was neat stuff, and I would LOVE to find some archive footage. And I don't even do woodworking! I'm just a sucker for a good crafty show. Nope.

(this is completely random, so prepare yourself) Do you, or any of your readers, know the name of the woodworking show that used to come on PBS (or one of those free type stations) where the guy had a huge human sized hamster wheel in his workshop? It's not "This Old House" or anything else with Norm Abram, but I believe the guy had red hair and always wore a "different" style hat (not a baseball cap in other words). He may have been from up north (your areola) as well. That was one of the most awesome woodworking shows around, and I can't remember the name of it for the life of me!

I love watching craft shows. In fact I would love even more to watch a craft show featuring someone who does not have a craft bone in his body :) Bring on Badass Dyers Weekly Craft Fest!
