Woodworking

From the governor's press office:

RALEIGH – Gov. Mike Easley will join Roy Underhill in the fall season national premier of the public television show “The Woodwright’s Shop,” to air at 4 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 4 on UNC-TV, North Carolina's statewide public television network. Some stations may air the show on Saturday, Sept. 27. The episode, “The First Woodworker,” was originally taped last October and had a special preview showing only on UNC-TV last December.

In the opening episode of the show’s 28th season, Easley and Underhill make a “Po-Boy” table. In less affluent times, before reuse and recycle were popular design concepts, Easley made this type of table by salvaging scrap walnut from a furniture maker and using different sized paint cans for a template. Easley is the first North Carolina governor to appear on the show.

Great video. It is nice to see someone in office looking more like a regular guy that we woodworkers and others can relate to.

Use this link to get to the Office of governor home page.

Above link is misspelled Gonenor.

Thanks for the post, I enjoyed watching.
