Boston's public TV station, WGBH, is going to start a new show. With
enough interest, other PBS stations should pick it up.

It actually started about three weeks ago on WGBH, Tommy seems to need a
bit more coaching in how to present the material, for the most part it
is pretty dry, and I find I am losing interest.

The system will be down for 10 days for preventive maintenance.

When you work with wood it's supposed to be dry.

Given the thread, I think you meant to say:
Okay guys, when you work with wood it's supposed to be dry.
Right, Eli?

Not unlike the New Yankee Workshop when that started... though perhaps at a
higher skill level.

I met Tommy this weekend at the Woodcraft Hawaii store woodshow. He's
very nice, genuine, and enthusiastic. Scott Phillips was there as
well as Rob Cosman.

I watched my first last night. He built an inlaid lazy susan. I have no real
interest in building a lazy susan, but I learned several new techniques. So
I'll keep watching. -- Doug

with the workshop gone it is better than nothing. He is kind of annoying

I met them at their shop, near Boston. My impressions of the guy were
similar to yours.

I also think this sort of show is inherently good for woodworking.

Don't be afraid to give him feedback, on the show's website (you can
Google it, by "rough cut" and "suggestion box."

They genuinely WANT to meed the needs of their audience.
