You know, I'll watch it just because it's a woodworking show and they are rare beasts around these parts, but the kid does get on my nerves just a little. Just a little too hyper and over-eager. Maybe it's an east coast thing and I live too far south to tolerate it.anmius wrote:I'm not too sure I could spend a whole day with Tommy Mac.

'55 Greenie #292284 (Mar-55), '89 SS 510 #020989, Mark VII #408551 (sold 10/14/12), SS Band Saw, (SS 500 #36063 (May-79) now gone to son-in-law as of 11-11), Magna bandsaw, Magna jointer 16185 (May-54), Magna belt sander SS28712 (Dec-82), Magna jigsaw SS4397 (Dec-78), SS biscuit joiner, Zyliss (knockoff) vise, 20+ hand planes, 60s Craftsman tablesaw, CarbaTec mini-lathe, and the usual pile of tools. Hermit of the Hills Woodworks, a hillbilly in the foothills of the Ozarks, scraping by.
I don't remember it being there in 1974-75 when I had classes in the woodshop. Then again I was looking at the "big" equipment and might have missed it.robinson46176 wrote: They had one sitting at one end of the woodshop at BSU (Muncie IN) in 1961. It looked like new and I never saw anybody ever touch it.
I'd rather spend the time with Tommy Mac. Because he will use hand tools. When was the last time ya saw Norm pick up a #5 or #6 hand plane?

[quote="JPG40504"]Who's Tommy Mac? What's a PBS?]You gotta be kidding. Bob Vila (if that is who you were referring to) does not even belong in a discussion about wood working. The best I can say about Bob is that he sells good wooden for floors.
