The
Woodright’s Shop is a woodworking type TV show that has been running on PBS in
the states since 1979. It is hosted by Roy Underhill and covers a range of
projects and heritage type wood craft activities and, if I’m honest, is just so
thoroughly addictive – I often watch it online for hour after hour. Check it
out here: http://www.pbs.org/woodwrightsshop/
This
is the only one of Roy’s projects (with the exception of spoon carving, of
course, which he does with special guest Peter Fallansbee) that I’ve actually
had a go at. It’s supposedly a carpenter's tallow box that closes with a very
simple but clever secret locking mechanism. Mine is made from olivewood and I’m
sure will look even better with age and use.
