Can you trust a DIY channel host who thinks a SCMS is a RAS??

Yes, I understand that's probably where the guy comes from. In fact, I grew up an hour from Boston, listening to Boston radio and watching Boston TV and even the local announcers didn't pronounce their words like that. BTW, I have no problem with a TV celebrity like Tom Silva speaking that way because he's a contractor who, by virtue of that fact, happens to be on TV. Same goes for Master Plumber Ed Del Grande. But someone who is, first and foremost, an announcer should be free of affectations. I will admit a certain prejudice in this regard as I am a professional announcer who grew up in New England and am able to conduct my business without a discernable regional accent.

What a dummy......everybody knows that is a jigsaw.......right?

I agree, if its informative it might spark someones interest. The reality woodworkers are probably a much smaller market then those that they are aimed at. After all what kind of a target audience is a group of people that would pay more for their materials and spend all there spare time building something that they could have bought at IKEA for less money.

Probably better than 90% of the woodworkers here. Most of us build for the satisfaction of creativity and accomplishment. There's little bragging rights in showing off a purchase from Ikea, certainly not any sense of pride.
