I know not everyone has access to these shows, presented by PBS. So, if you are bored, can't dance and it's too windy to haul rock- I give you

I pulled of video and immediately started drooling just seeing the size of this shop!

"Mr. Rogers visits the woodshop."

 

 

And, honey, you have your own TV show, do you think I can get on and help you once in a while?

Thanks Lew, I will check some of this out.

Thanks, @Lew.  I love most PBS shows as well as HGTV and DIY.  I have watched PBS since the World at War series in the 1970's.  This barn raising is a great show and so are the Roy Underhill shows.  Thank you, again.

Scott lives just south of Lockington, OH.   You can drive right by the place.   been by there everytime I drive down from Sidney, OH....rather than take I-75 to go to Piqua, OH.

Speaking of Roy (and I do love his shows) I'm afraid he may have retired...or at least lost sponsorship. I don't think he;'s done anything new for the last couple of years. Kinda sad really.

Yeah, seems his his last season was 2018. He started with PBS in 1979.  He deserves a break. 

I met Scott many years ago. He did a demo on how to tune a band saw and then built a quick band saw box. Great guy. Remember his early shows. He basically introduced his wife into the shop.

I remember Roy Underhill and his walk to the shop carrying his toolbox. He really brought you back to a generation before power tools. Always amazed me what he could do.

I heard that Roy was a bit pompous in person.

I've met Roy a couple of times.  I never did get that impression, but he's always got a sense of humor and is joking around.

 

The one that always struck me as full of himself is Frank Klausz.  I met him once when he did a weekend class here.

Roy Underhill  is scheduled to be a presenter at the 2020 Handworks Show in Amana IA in Sept.  To the best of my knowledge, the show is still going to take place.
