27 Years of Green-Powered Craftsmanship on PBS
THE WOODWRIGHT’S SHOP WITH ROY UNDERHILL
New Season Premieres Saturday, October 6!

Embarking on his 27th season on PBS, Roy Underhill notches another year of amazing longevity as host of The Woodwright’s Shop, one of the longest-running continuing productions on PBS and dubbed “the best how-to program since Julia Child started rattling pots and pans.” The all-new season premieres statewide Saturday, October 6, at 4 PM, on UNC-TV.

This season on The Woodwright’s Shop With Roy Underhill, our intrepid retro innovator of all things good and green goes in search of timeless ingenuity using the renewable resources of wood and will.

Join the original Woodwright for forays into the pilgrims’ progress at Plymouth Plantation in Massachusetts, wise and wondrous works from Virginia’s Colonial Williamsburg, master Moravian marvels from Old Salem in North Carolina, and glorious good old days at Greenfield Village in Michigan. With his winning, one-of-a-kind blend of wit and artistry, Roy again shares the wonder of woodcraft through an entertaining and eclectic mix of projects and personalities. This season see Roy and friends build boxes for Bibles and with secret drawers, make workbenches with a French Flavor, craft embroidery stands and crafty plant stands, turn out wooden screws, fiddle around with a learned luthier and explore Henry Ford’s land of yesteryear.

So wind up the wayback machine and see how to reduce your carbon footprint to an occasional measure-twice-cut-once pencil mark on your projects. Tune in this deep-rooted, long-running series every week and live well.
