MeYankee writes: I just finished watching "this Old House" & got to wondering about "The New Yankee Workshop" since it had been years since I have been able to watch TV on a Sat. morning. I went searching & found out that Norm is no longer on but that "Rough Cut" had replaced it.

Now I find out that "Rough Cut" is not being broad cast in Virginia where I reside. I would like to see this show being broadcast on PBS in Virginia.

I was quite impressed with this show and wanted to show my woodworking friends the program. Much to the disappointment of all of us it is not on the PBS station down here, WFYI. I would like to request that WFYI show your program!!!!!

Posted: 8:29 pm on November 8th

Scott_of_PNW writes: Please lose the repeaded use of "guys". It is annoying, to listen to and makes you sound stupid as does Ming Tsai on Simply Ming. Most of the time it can just be eliminated, the rest of the time there is a real word that can be used. Like I really can't stand like listening to your show, like you have a really bad habit of like using Guys like all the time.

jonquinn writes: not being aired on WQED 13 in Pittsburgh. They were not even aware of it, and stated they have no current plans to do so. But they still asked for money so that MAYBE it will someday be aired - sorry, its already funded by taxpayer dollars, and Woodcraft paid for three seasons to be filmed, so nothing from me.
they do play American Woodshop (which I cannot stand) and occasionally Roy Underhill.

PBS needs to get with the times and offer it on some sort of streaming webcast too.

I exchanged some e-mails with a programming assistant @ WKAR (East Lansing) & she indicated they will show it early next year on their "Create" channel, but for right now it's not on.

Ras writes: In the central valley of California it would appear that it is not being shown. I did email the local PBS station some time ago requesting the Rough Cut be added to the line up. The response, "We will take it under advisement"
