SpikeHat I have watched "The Woodwright's Shop" on PBS for most of its 30-year run. The entertaining demeanor of host Roy Underhill engages viewers as he takes a project to near completion during the 27 minutes, or the episode will demonstrate woodworking concepts or methods.Roy has worked at Colonial Williamsburg, and his passion for historic preservation permeates every minute of the show. This lends to the unique niche for "TWWS" in that Roy uses no power tools; there are no electrical outlets or cords, and his tools are usually handmade antiques. The viewers see woodworking as it was done 150 years ago.Each episode in the shop is normally done in one continuous shot/take (with multiple camera angles), which is a testament to Underhill's presentation skill as well. Occasionally an episode is Roy's "field trip" to visit a water-powered sawmill, or the shop of another rustic woodworker.I recommend searching for episodes online, or check for viewing via PBS's website, or your local listings.
