There have been several nuggets of gold in all these comments that, hopefully, Tommy and WGBH will consider as they build the show. In my mind, one idea sticks out: giving more visibility to hand tools. That does not mean eliminating power tools - even Tommy has stated in his podcasts that they have a place. It's more an issue of providing equal time for these tools and the demonstrating things you can do with them.

I also want to add another possible angle that should be included in the show: wood selection and laying out project pieces. If you've watched any of Tommy's podcasts, you've heard him say over and over again: "to me, this is the most important part of the craft". He admittedly spends hours laying pieces out to get proper grain direction and effect. And he's right. Often the only difference in two identical finished projects is grain selection and layout.

I'm looking forward to seeing the shows.

This is the first set of plans for a sharpening station that I would actually use. I also echo "Lipsters" ideas for changing the top to a solid surface, adding a no-drip edge and extending the top edge to position it against a wall.

Great magazine and website!!
