Ditto here in Central Ohio on PBS. The guys and gals on this newsgroup
may be able to figure out some the tings they leave out, but not me (AKA
extreme novice wanna be). Some nice items were made by the host and his
friends..

They've been running a Rough Cut marathon on the tube here. I'd
already seen a number of them, and watched a couple more. They're not
the worst thing on TV, and better than some of the other shows - even
though it's his first season (I think), but the problem is that The
Woodwright's Shop is on the same channel and I couldn't help
contrasting the two shows.

Verdict - Roy Underhill by a country mile and running away. Roy is
definitely different than your average oh-take-me-seriously-please
host, but he so clearly knows the stuff backwards, forwards, and some
directions I don't even know, his enthusiasm is apparent and
contagious, he talks non-stop, literally, and there is never a pause,
never an Um, Sweet! or anything of that sort, and it certainly looks
like the show is shot in one go with no edits. While he's doing the
work!

If you don't like hand tools, the song of a sharp plane, and need to
hear a motor roaring to feel you're really working (or believing the
machine always does it faster), then Roy's show is certainly not for
you. Me? The more I watch the guy the more I appreciate him and what
he does.
