The guy is amazing. Great talent. I think a lot of his injuries occur
because he's trying to do things fast for the TV. He's also narrating
what he does, which is quite distracting.
But yes, it's reality TV at it's best.
My guess is that he has a lot fewer accidents when he's doing work at
his own pace and off camera.
Look into digital TV. By 2009 regular TV will not be broadcast any more so
the conversion is in progress. With digital broadcast often PBS will have 3
sub channels of broadcast.
You can get cards to plug into your PC and hook up your antenna and watch
the digital TV on your PC.
I think it will be great when everything is switched over, I live in a deep
fringe area and I get fuzzy reception with regular TV and with digital it
has a "cliff" effect, if you can get any signal it will be clear. Yahoo no
cable, no dish and best of all no monthly bill.

"Real" reality TV will occur when they actually show one of his injuries
happening.

Now here's a very scary thought. Imagine for a minute, Roy Underhill, in a
modern day woodworking shop full of power tools. They would have to
dedicate an entire emergency room staffed with surgeons and lots and lots of
blood on hand for transfusions.

Obviously, not by me. His shows aren't available in my area.

Just as Mike Holmes advertises for Dewalt and Norm Abrahms hawks for Delta (or
PC or whoever), Roy Underhill advertises for Johnson & Johnson.

An autographed Norm Abram biscuit is the best thing I've heard in a long time.

This first-aid kit resides inside a hand-cut dovetailed box along with
things like a Norm Abram autographed biscuit, L-N balsa wood glider, and
other oddities I've acquired over the years... I knew Roy at Colonial
Williamsburg when I worked there in the mid-80s and have encountered him
occasionally over the years. For example, he participated in my club's
woodworking show and also did a special program with us. He is fun to be
around... funny but serious about what he is doing. The Y2K Tool Kit is a
nice reminder of good times.

I posted a photo to ABPW... It was clearly done as a tongue in check thing

On a whim, I grabbed all headers for the group via Easynews and got fills back
to August 2008. My archive on this computer goes back to 2004, but I did not
save everything. I don't have your Y2K posts from 2005, but did save your
series of veneering posts. While going through the posts I found lots of names
sorely missed in the group today.
Somewhere in the house on one of my old backup drives I have files from as far
back as 1997, perhaps even 1996, but it would take a lot of digging to find
them. I might have your Y2K backed up there.
Regards,
Roy

Roy himself jokes about it... His Y2K Tool Kit was in fact a small first aid
kit. The contents include aspirin, alcohol wipes, iodine ointment, adhesive
bandages... I just checked and all the contents in mine are out of date...

I reposted some photos to ABPW... did it back in 2005 but they are probably

Looks awfully clean, no open packages, no blood anywhere.
My in-shop first aid kit consists of a roll of paper towels and a needle to remove splinters.... and some beers in the frig.

Beer anywhere around sharp, spinning, machinery isn't a good idea. No
beer, for me, anytime. Paper towels aren't going to cut it in my
shop, anyway - more like a selection of tourniquets (blood thinners).

On the SF Bay DirecTV package, there are a lot more PBS stations. Only one
has Roy right now, and the series is from 2005. Maybe that will change
soon.
Beats the heck out of cable, though.

If anyone has not watched Roy Underhill, they should. I find it amazing
see what can be done with just a hatchet and chisel. He does things
with simple tools, that we think we need equipment costing hundreds of
dollars to do.
I have been a fan of Roy's since I watched him go out in the woods, find
the right tree, cut it down, and then, when it is in the shop, split two
2X 12 from the log using a wedges. He used the planks to make the
carving horse he uses in his current shows.
We forget in this "safe at any cost" society what it was like to do
simple jobs 100 years ago. I believe anyone using those tools and
techniques that would also be a walking advertisement for Johnson and
Johnson. Have you ever watched a blacksmith working around a forge?

Lee, it's "The Woodwright's Shop" (http://www.pbs.org/wws/) and without a
doubt is it a must-see.
You might not learn what not to do though. Last week I smiled when close to
the end of the show he finally noticed the cut I'd been watching since
halfway through. "Look at that; I've cut myself again." He seemed annoyed,
as if he thought he was on a roll for a new record (an entire show without
cutting himself), and missed it again.

He has that. Pedal operated, shuts down promptly when

Not on any DishNetwork stations per se. It's a PBS program and not all
PBS stations carry it. If you're eligible to get the PBS National Feed
(hard to do with so many local channel markets now available), it's on
there. Otherwise, you'll have to get the local channel package for
your area and hope the local PBS operator carries it. I get three PBS
stations in my local package, and only one carries Roy.
