A New (to me) Turning Show On PBS

[Ken Massingale]

I recently discovered Woodturning Workshop on the N.C. PBS station, but it was at the end of the series run and they aren't currently showing reruns. I just found that the S.C. PBS station is now showing the series.
The host turner is Tim Yoder who works at the RSU tv station in Ok. Tim is a very down-to-earth guy that takes his time and explains what he is doing in detail. Some of his approaches are not exactly typical, but the end result is excellent. He can be funny as well.
The shows are being shown now on different PBS stations so check your local ones. It's about the best WW show I have seen lately.

Dang Ken, doesn't show on either Ga, or Fl public broadcasting. Pat

I've seen it on two PBS stations around here (Toledo and Bowling Green). I am blessed to have 2 very good PBS stations in my area. I don't see Woodturning Workshop much since we don't have the "sister" stations available on local digital cable--we switched to Dish--but it's still on regular PBS occasionally.

I don't do any turning, so it doesn't do much for me, but I did like the episode where he showed the safe way to fell (fall?) a tree.

It seems to be rotating thru the PBS stations, Pat.

That was a good show, Joey. One of the most interesting ones was when he turned, a goblet IIRC, he turned the outside, drilled a small hole to start the hollowing, then sliced the bowl of the goblet in half length wise and then turned the half. He did that so the camera could show what was happening inside during the hollowing.
