David Marks' Shop

[Rich-in-WA]

For those of you who like the show "Woodworks" with host David Marks, I happened to check the listings and there's an interesting episode coming up on Sat Dec 27. It's a repeat of the one where he shows you around his shop and tells the stories behind his varous tools. This includes the fabled U.S.S. Woodworks, a surplus aircraft carrier craftily turned into a 16-in jointer. I haven't seen the episode, but I'm a fan of the show and I've been wating for them to repeat it. I guess I've got an appointment at 9:00 PM Sat with the easy chair, a hot drink, and the remote control. Happy Holidays to all.

Happy Holidays to all.

DIY, a pay channel on cable for most. Also available on DirectTV. I have seen the episode in question, as they used to run it on Sat. morning on HGTV - but not anymore... :-(

Hey, Eric, Well, if your read very carefully, I said they USED to run it on HGTV, but not anymore. The show appeared on HGTV in an attempt to attract paying viewers of the show to the DIY Channel - which is an added cost channel (like HBO) in most areas.

Actually, I wish they would put Marks back on - they lost one dedicated viewer when they pulled Marks, since I have already seen and committed to CD all of Norm's shows. I doubt many male viewers want to watch some old woman demonstrate how to make stupid decorations and nick-nacks out of spray glue, pine cones and ribbons.
