there used to be a show on the san bernadino,ca pbs station KCVR (KVCR?)
called metalworker- funky but worthwhile for the average Joe (like me)

There are so many home improvement TV shows out there right now.
Jeeeeeeeeeeezus, if Christopher Lloyd can mince and flame his way to
success
with lace and spraypaint, someone should be able to do it with a
metalworking show.

Show things like:

How to make a wrought iron gate, complete with bending the scrolls, how to
mount hinges, lockbox, spring lock, closure spring, etc.

How to make a simple forge.

How to properly adjust an OA rig.

Welding basics.

Tool safety.

Principles of bending metal.

and on and on and on .............................

There are so many subjects that the more I think about it, the more I want
to go to Hollywood (or Hoboken) or wherever these programs originate and
hawk the idea.

I think enough people would watch to make it a success. And just like
every
other kind of show, it would help more people get into it and those who
are
now doing it to do a better job.
