We seem to have got ourselves a new champion this side of the water. When Norm and the New Yankee Workshop was on the boob-tube, SWMBO would start yawning and start making comments about finding something better to watch. Feedback from other woodworkers said they got the same sort of thing from their bosses.
Around the begining of December I dicovered the PBS channel here in the UK and a new show to me called Rough Cuts hosted by Tommy Macdonald. SWMBO saw me watching this show and suddenly started to take an interest in woodworking, demanding that I find out when the show was on next. She finally walked away muttering 'bout twenty-something hunks presenting woody shows and passing the word around to her friends. All of a sudden I can watch woodworking shows without a load of grief.
Happy 2012 everyone
