This one borders on "what the......." . Just one dufuss's opinion.

I agree that some seem a little on the 7th grade shop class level but
some are helpful. I would like to see the t.v. program build one of
their projects using some of their "tips" instead. Otherwise when I
watch it, I start thinking about acne, video games, and if I finished
my homework.


Actually the WoodSmith magazine IMHO is first rate and geared towards all.
I have been taking that magazine for 20+ years and have learned a lot. Each
issue has special sections that address a specific detail used on one or
more of the 2~3 projects in each issue. The TV show is to generate interest
to the general public. The magazine is focused more on the person at
actually has tools. ;~)
