Watch Me on 'The Woodwright?s Shop.? I Can?t

UNC-TV has posted the shows from the new season of Roy Underhill?s ?The Woodwright?s Shop? so you can watch them on your computer ? including the two episodes I appeared in.

We taped the two episodes right before I taught a sawing class at The Woodwright?s School in Pittsboro, N.C. You can read about that August trip on these earlier blog posts:

Sunday With Roy Underhill: 2 Shows in 1 Day    

Taping the episodes was fun. But I can?t stand to watch myself on TV, so I haven?t watched these episodes. I?m told that I quote Borat at one point. I don?t remember that.

One of the shows was on sawing in which I show Roy some of the English tricks for precision sawcuts that I?ve picked up through books. You can also watch me awkwardly botch sawing in a Continental style (sitting down) and this episode is also a snuff film for a certain broom. You read that right. We kill a broom on camera.

The other episode is called ?The Tiny Tool Kit? and it?s about the remarkably few tools used in the 1839 book ?The Joiner & Cabinet Maker? by the book?s hero, young Thomas. The only workshop items that are abused in that episode are some nails. But they deserve it.

I?ve embedded these two episodes below. But you can watch all the shows from this season by clicking through to this page.

Speaking of Roy, I?m going to be out all this week to teach a three-day class on handplanes at The Woodwright?s School. So I might not be updating the blog much. Then I return to the school to teach sawing again this summer. I?m told there are still a couple spaces in that class. You can read about that here.

Can?t Afford a Class? How About These?
? The class I?m teaching this week is based on my book ?Handplane Essentials,? a big old printed-in-the-USA brain dump on these essential tools. It?s available in our store and we offer free shipping in the domestic United States.

? My handsawing class is one of the most popular things I teach. So much so that we filmed one of the classes here in our shop and now offer it on the DVD ?Build a Sawbench? in our store. Watch me and 10 students construct a sawbench entirely by hand.
