New Woodworking Show / Public TV / Tommy Mac
Boston's public TV station, WGBH, is going to start a new show. With
enough interest, other PBS stations should pick it up. http://www.wgbh.org/programs/episode...eatureid=20742 Rough Cut—Woodworking with Tommy Mac The series invites viewers into the workshop of Boston native and fine furniture maker Tommy MacDonald, a graduate of the famed Boston-based North Bennet Street School. Thirteen innovative episodes follow Tommy as he travels to historical New England landmarks to gain design inspiration, then returns to his workshop to demonstrate the steps and techniques it takes to create comprehensive woodworking projects |

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

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

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 |

He's very nice, genuine, and enthusiastic. Scott Phillips was there as well as Rob Cosman. |

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. |
