I once read on an american site that the woodworker loaded his sawdust loose into the back of his pick up and then went for a drive out of town. When he got home it was all gone! kenf

I kept a home grown 3.5ftx10"dia laburnum trunk stood vertically on the patio for a couple of years. I took it to the Yandle show last year after checking that the planking machine demonstrator was going to attend. 5 minutes and he cut it into 1" planks at a cost of £3. Bargain. Beautiful...

And yet, Dick, there are programmes on tattooing and two guys putting up sheds!! Perhaps new programmes on woodworking would create a new generation and large audience base. Norm's programmes must have started many people on the craft; I know he started me off once I knew what was possible.

Someone mentioned the Cutting Edge presenter. I cannot watch him with the sound up. His cocky presentation and the awful 'hurry up' loud accompanying music is unbearable.
