Here's my idea for a pilot:

Today, we're going to make our project out of Texas Mesquitte. It's got
some drawbacks for the type of work we're doing today, but we'll show you
how to work around them. You may notice our shop is spotless, that's
because we use every scrap! Whatever doesn't go into the project goes
into the smoker for some of the best darn bar-b-que this side of the
Mississippi, heck, even on the other side you're gonna have trouble
finding better!

"Smoke 'n Sawdust" It'd have to be an hour long show, half cooking and
half woodworking!

Sounds like fun. I suppose they'd want you to follow their recommendation=
s, guidelines, etc., but I'd be inclined to, somewhat, want to follow my ow=
n shop routine(s) and ad lib, a bit.... it's what I do in my shop and 'most=
everywhere, else. Be oneself. If not me, my projects are entertaining, =
I like to think! I suppose they'd want someone with a clean shop.... that =
leaves me out.

That application is pretty darn detailed!

I figured as much, thanks for the reminder, I deleted that cookie and am
in now, showing my age a bit older. ;~)

"Sawdust 'n Smoke"

Not only does the name flow better, but if you do the woodworking first,
you'll have the scraps you need for the smoker. ;-)

Makes me wish I still watched TV.

I got to play a hand-made fretless banjo, yesterday. It looked a bit
weird, but I was able to play it like I knew what I was doing (I
don't). Still!.... I now wanna make a banjo! ;)

I receive "birthday cards" by email from various sites at various times
per year (I hope it doesn't age me prematurely)! ; )

My guess is it's a lame attempt to keep kids from filling out the
application that follows.

It's a cookie thing, I just experimented with Chrome and Firefox and
you're correct, it will deny access. However all I had to do was
close, then restart the browser and I was allowed to retry/reenter.
That worked on both Chrome and FF. I think I have both configured to
douche cookies when exiting.

I tried to log in and accidentally told the site I was 6. I wonder why
you have to be older to view that page. Any way I am locked out.

I have seen the guy on TOH recently, he was telling Kevin and the
viewers how to get into woodworking.
