Woodwork on TV

[joiner_sim]

Was just wondering if anyone could recommend a TV channel that regulary shows woodworking? Doesn't have to be a Uk channel. Thanks :mrgreen:

pbs have a few from time to time, and discovery shed, from time to time. As far as I am aware, there is no regular slot- they have a day every now and then where there are several episodes on back to back.

online is a bit better http://www.pbs.org/woodwrightsshop/vide ... index.html for starters...

Discovery Shed have 'Smith and Sweetman Workshop' starting daily on the 16th August, along with the cringe-worthy 'Wood Wizard' series 2 on the 15th I think.

Then there's Good Ol' Norm and his 'New Yankee Workshop' on Wednesday nights at 10pm.

(Just noticed 'The Workshop That John Built' starting on Monday too - I guess that'll be John Revell presenting.)

Utube there is plenty and if you have a modern Humax recorder it connects to the internet and utube wirelessly.

That's v interesting - Does it have to be a very modern humax, or will an older model connect ?

I think its a recent innovation, I could be wrong so check with Humax at their web support page.

With virgin broadband the connection is OK (its fast) you need a differnt humax model for Sky, dont know about BT

Look no further than the University of North Carolina TV on US PBS - for the one-of-kind Roy Underhill who has been presenting his personal take on hand woodwork for 31 years - six series, each of 13 half hour episodes are available to watch for free on-line here: http://www.pbs.org/woodwrightsshop/video/3100/index.html

Yep, I would think U-tube is the best bet as the ones on Discovery must be around 20 years old now and still being repeated! :roll:
