Maybe at the North Bennet Street School, Tommy Mac skipped the classes on chairmaking, or he took the carpentry curriculum. There are so many nuances on traditional chairmaking, you gotta appreciate the craftsmen that make them. Looking forward to seeing that episode. For some reason, all the SoCal PBS stations dropped Rough Cut for this time of the season. I wish they'd carry Rough Cut and drop American Woodworker.

Could be the show was scripted that way to make it more interesting. I haven't seen that show in a couple of years. But, although I didn't like the show, I got the impression that Tommy knew his way around a workshop.
I could be wrong.
See ya later,

I've gotten the impression before that he plays dumb a little on some things so his guest can do the explaining. Who knows, maybe he's not playing on some things
Like someone else mentioned, our PBS is weird about showing it too. We'll get the "new" ones in a few months...
