There's Scott Phillips and The American Woodshop and Clive Grey and The
Pacific Western Workshop, both on some PBS stations. Whereas Norm Abram
does mostly furniture, the others are a little more varied.

I have DirectTV and just noticed that my PBS-U has
the Router Workshop on almost everyday.

I started watching the Router Workshop again for about 4 weeks and then
noticed that if I fast forwarded through the bit changes, the cuts that they
do over and over and over and over and over, there was only about 5 minutes
of content worth watching. The show is a good idea but they should be
concentrating on actually finishing a project rather than showing you each
round over cut on the 4 corners of 10 legs.

When I found that, watching the show recorded with TiVo, that I could watch
everything of interest in about 4 minutes, I stopped bothering.

And is it just me, or does the old guy seem to race through the steps
without fully explaining what he is doing and why. I imagine more
experienced woodworkers probably understand what he is doing but I am under
the impression this show is largely for relative beginners and I sense that
so much of this stuff is old hat for both the hosts that they take it for
granted that the audience is keeping up with them.
The other thing that I find strange is that they seem to use jigs and
fixtures for just about every project, even when it is apparent that the jig
is of no use for anything else, yet the almost never show how to make the
jigs.
Nevertheless, for reasons I don't quite understand, I do enjoy watching
them. <g>
