I miss this show so much! Brings back a ton of memories of my childhood! I always wondered about his hands and that shop... go figure 😂 Nothing like old woodworking shows with Roy & Motocross!!!
So did Roy Underhill have something to do with motocross or are you just saying you enjoyed motocross? If there is a tie in with the woodworking show and motocross I would love to know. Google didn't show me anything. Thanks.
One classic show i ised to watch with my grandma every Sunday. Painting with Bob Ross, The New Yankee Workshop, Antique road show and on and on. Thanks for taking me back. Best days of our lives. I know im not the only one who thinks that.
Holyshit where did you find this,,,???? This was my very first woodwright's Shop show on PBS. This guy knows more about traditional tools than anybody I know that includes my dad and we're in the business. Thank you very much for uploading it..
THANK GOD FOR ROY UNDERHILL. THE LAST TURE CRAFTSMAN. I I don't know why he isn't more cocky. He is well educated. What's depressing, who will carry his torch? This generation or even the Xer's won't bother with this. I had wood shop/auto/metal shop/and drafting in one year in 1988. There's no way with "safety" shit, that they would let kids mess with melted aluminum or a blow torch. My final exam was putting my name together with nails. The good old days. And I want to take the word "gay" back. It's our word! Sorry for ranting. Good night!
Check out a cool RU-vid video called grandfather full documentary. This gives one an idea of the natural setting in which these types of woodworking skills would be employed. As always the Woodwrights shop is a true treasure.
Norm's a mechanical engineer who approached carpentry like a mathematician. Roy's a philosopher and a historian who created things out of wood not to create an object, but to preserve the method of creating an object.
@@patricktufton Patrick Tufton At last someone had enough guts to differentiate between them.. Would you please enlighten me on Paul Sellers on the contrast to the Roy... -I respect them all. Thank you, Sir.
From watching him since I was little, I have come to the conclusion he is fumbling around because he is trying to give as much information in a small amount of time, with what he is showing not always cooperating with him. On some of his work, it looks as if he just cobbles it together, hes only showing how to do it, not caring what it looks like, but in actuality, i would assume while he is working without cameras going, he is taking his time and ill bet his cuts are spot on and beautiful. This guy knows his stuff and knows the old forgotten ways of it being done. That is why I watch him. I dont care about a shop full of $100,000 in tools and spotless for one to eat off the floor, I wanna see old school techniques because thats what its about and without that, we wouldnt have what we have today.
His shows, IIUC, are taken in a single shot. Only editing for camera angles afterwards. He brings in a few sets of materials so he can do maybe a couple takes.
here use this as the main drive of an octal compass ... all you need now are the two interlocked arms and a draw point ... you did an episode about this for the marketry episode with willow ..
Why not make sure that you are truly saved by Jesus Christ and practice this way. Remorsefully confess with your heart your sins to Jesus Christ who is God and tell Him that you right now are repenting of your sins and you want to be born again of the Spirit from above. Tell Jesus that you are remorsefully sorry for breaking His commandments and that you are begging for forgiveness from Him. Allow His blood from the cross to wash away your sins. After this is done with your heart successfully the Holy Spirit will come to live within you and He will rebuild you from the inside out. Look for signs that you are saved. Things like spreading the good news from Jesus, getting other people saved, a craving for the word of God, reading the Bible, etc… These things are known as a calling and fruit bearing. If you're not bearing fruit then keep doing it. Sometimes it takes time to get saved. Read Matthew chapter 13 from the King James Bible. God bless!!!!!!!
Canus Lupis if you can describe a process, and show it proved, by hand power, on camera, with no editing, in like twenty seven minutes, you might be able to have your own television show which people can berate your efforts. Till then, sharpen and practice. Oh yeah, research also to know what you are doing.
It's hard to tell what sort of presenter that you are when it relates to you judging him, so why don't you let everyone know your qualifications and where we can find your work?
Many years ago this guy was the only person who has ever used the- don't you know who I am?!! in anger at me and frankly I didn't have a clue and probably laughed in his face. Okay, dude, so now I know who you are. Oh wait, was I supposed to be impressed?
Elizabeth - many a person has been introduced to woodwork by this guy. He is considered an expert in early methods and tools used by early craftsman in the manufacture of furniture and home goods. Is it possible that he was having a bad day? That is not the universal response from people who have been acquainted with Roy. It is your right to not be impressed by him, but millions are.........
@@wrstew1272 I was relating a personal experience as viewed through the eyes of a teenager who probably would not know who he is nor have much experience with eighteenth century tools. It's not something that anyone needs to agree with, it was a reflection of his personal bubble and knowing your audience.
In addition to his TV show, he was the housewright at colonial Williamsburg No buildings were built without him making sure it was done true to colonial craftsmanship
So you now know who he is, but I wonder if he now knows who you are? Actually it would be more like does he (or any of us really) care who you are? This man has influenced more people in the woodworking community than you will ever meet in your lifetime. I'm sure that you were being a disrespectful ass at that time, especially since you haven't matured and are still a disrespectful ass.
