New Woodwright series online

Roy's back with season 28 - available online from PBS

If you've not seen this before, definitely put aside some time and catch an episode, IMO more informative and entertaining than the bearded one.

is it only me ? or is he barmy ? :shock:

 

[Gower]

Thanks Byron. Interesting character! His hands look like they've seen some work unlike the manicured digits of some presenters!
Cheers,
Jim

Another thanks, BB. Nice to see they've switched to Flash video - video quality and streaming seems to be excellent now. The old RealPlayer stuff was unwatchable.

Hi, Pete W

Unwatchable but recordable :wink:
Hopefully they will bring it out on DVD I know they have been asked loads of times.

Thanks for this BB - never seen this series.
Worked my way through the wheelbarrow one - very interesting!
Does he not use glue - or is that just in that episode (2006 season)?
Cheers

Hopefully they will bring it out on DVD I know they have been asked loads of times.

I know Steve M was explaining the harsh economics of woodworking DVDs the other day, but since Roy has a wealth of material ready to go you'd think there's a real opportunity there. We live in hope...

Had the pleasure to meet Sir Roy in person last year - a REAL character!
Very knowledgable - not your usual tv presenter :wink:
Cheers

Thanks for the tip BB - I have really enjoyed watching these. I think he gets the blend just right between familiar things that it's nice to see 'live' instead of just in diagrams and some that I for one had never heard of - the split fans and the 900 year old Viking tool chest.

fantastic stuff, thanks for pointing me in his direction. I have just finished watching his philosophical/thoreau/zen episode....great mix of enthusiasm, hand tools, thoughtfulness and practicality.

I thought of him today as I tried to rip saw a log on a bandsaw. The blade broke leaving me to finish it by hand, which didn't take that long and was far more enjoyable.....
