Title: Who is this wood worker?
Post by: crashwg on December 15, 2009, 03:56:55 pm

This thread (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=97495.0) prompted me to download a bunch of New Yankee Workshop episodes and at the end of one of the episodes it appears as though the person who recorded it got a bit of the next program or something.  It cut to another wood working show who's host sounds maybe Kiwi or Ausie.  Please take no offense by my not being able to discern the difference, I'm a stupid American...  ;)

Here's a screen shot:

British, it would seem...  "The Great British Woodshop," with David Free, according to my search.

According to this article: http://www.woodworkingchannel.com/dolphin/profile.php?ID=12 (http://www.woodworkingchannel.com/dolphin/profile.php?ID=12) he grew up in Australia.  You had me worried there for a second that I had confused a British accent with Australian...

I like this show - although it draws so heavilly from NYW... visiting somewhere for ideas and inspiration first and then off to the workshop... He even has a catchphrase similar to Norm's "safety glasses" bit ;-)

If the formula works.... :-)

I just discovered Yankee Workshop a month ago and i have been learning LOADS from Norm.  I don't understand half of his terms but I'm getting there!
Thanks for turning me on to this show BYOAC!
