I can suggesttwo show formats.

A.
Extreme Workshop. This would be a workshop makeover or new shop setup chosen from applicants who submit a shop design plan(hand or power tools). The shop makeover would be cordinated/designed by a well known master woodworker. Then they will work together on a project from rough wood to finish work. The master woodwoker(host) would share his expertise with the winner using the tools in the new shop. Please note the shop theme could be hand tool or power tool or a combination of the two. Shop build plus progect time could take multiple days but condenbsed to a workable broadcat format. My inspiration for this format was Extreme Makeover.

B.
Battle ofThe Master Woodworkers. Modeled after Iron Chef of America this show wold have a woodworker challange a masterwoodworker from a group of Master Woodworkers to a competition in the design and construction of a project to be judged by a jury of experts. Norm Abram could be the host. The workshop could be themed either as hand tool or power tool or a combination of both. The competition could be multiple days condensed to a workable broadcast format. The competion could be judged in stages and broadcast over multiple episodes. In this format methods of work cuold be detailed to the audience.

Planely, This is how I got my groove on.

As visually impared woodworker, my eyes and a small screen do not go well together. The kindel may work if I could get it from the wife as needed. Therfore I prefer Hardcopy, and DVD archive on large monitors (23 inch) and e-zine. I use readers to see my dial pad on a Blackbery. Besides I plan to instal a computer in the shop with printer and internet connection.

Santa please add to my collection of hand planes so that I can complete my workbench.
