A bit unrelated, but I discovered "The Woodwrights Shop" has the most recent ten seasons available on pbs.org. Something very satisfying about his approach to woodworking.
- JKCalhoun 6y agoLove that guy. Pretty sure he's always high tho.
- nabilhat 6y agoThink of Roy Underhill as the Cliff Stoll of woodworking instead of klein bottles. Imagine Roy waxing philosophical about klein bottles then reproducing an oaken klein bottle he found buried under a barn that one time. Working frantically, nearly but not quite done in 25 minutes flat, but! with five minutes devoted to showing off that one of a kind klein bottle plane a friend just happened to have given him as a gift ten years ago, because showing off that one oddball tool was the entire point of this whole episode. Roy's the best kind of nerd. He REALLY loves what he does and how he does it, and makes it so contagious that I kinda want to take up woodworking just so I have an excuse to attend one of his classes.
- modeless 6y agoThanks for this, it brings back many childhood memories. Can't believe the show is still running.
- matt_s 6y agoIf you are ever in the Raleigh/Durham NC area, Roy has a school nearby where he actively teaches. https://www.woodwrightschool.com/ https://www.woodwrightschool.com/
