Roy Underhill - The Woodwright's Workshop

[Eric_Methven]

For anyone into Green Woodcraft, here's a link to all the Woodwright's Workshop programmes that our cousins on the other side of the pond have had access to for a few years.

This one is for making an English wheelbarrow, but the whole series is listed to the right of the screen.

cool - but the Roy Underhill guy really does make me think of a Dick van Dyke take on an English chipy

According to that site, he's been on 29 years. It's always been one of my favorite TV shows. He has also written a series of books. They are a little short on step by step detail but they are great for overall information and inspiration.

What an amazing find! I thoroughly enjoyed his rants and ramblings on the episode I watched, The Spirit of Woodcraft!

I've been watching Roy for years, he's usually on PBS (Public Broadcasting System) in either Nebraska or Iowa. He's very good at what he does and is a firm believer in the old school way of crafting. You won't see a power tool on Roy's show!
