Set your VCR's New series, "ROUGH CUT" TODAY

[dino drosas]

The beginning of the new woodworking series "Rough Cut" begins today featuring Tom McLaughlin. It is being aired on ETV
(Cannel 16 0r 17 on Spectrum Cable and Channel 33 on Directv) at 5:00 pm. This should be a must see for any wood worker
of all skill levels.

I cannot find this on DirecTV. Even using the search feature returned no results for Rough Cut.

ETV is SC Public TV, not NC Public TV.

Do you know if this is a new season or a repeat of former shows?

I hope the new is better than the old. We need a good woodworking with power tools show.

It is new and is sponsored by Fine Woodworking. Tom McLoughlin was a episode contributor to Tommy Mac a few years back. I just watched the first episode ( a cherry sofa table-Shaker style).

His pace is good and he presents a professional yet casual approach. He demonstrates examples of each step but doesn't repeat for each of the other joints or like actions.

Tommy Mac is an accomplished woodworker (N.Bennett St School alum) but I didn't quite like his pace (too fast) and often fairly flippen. I did watch most of Tommy Mac's shows except the shop build and enjoyed them but I am looking forward to the new host and some more challenging projects.

I also can't find it on UNC-TV here in RDU and ditto for my DirecTV.

If you subscribe to FineWoodworking’s internet accesss, they have the broadcasts for viewing on their site.

I think Tom McLaughlin is doing a good job with the show. I think it could be longer but he hits the key parts. It's a bit like watching Sir Roy cranking through although Tom isn't doing it all in one take so he doesn't sound winded at the end. If you are a Fine Woodworking subscriber you can watch the show and download the plans for the project.

Looks like I might need to renew my FWW subscription - let it lax when I had Satellite Internet and had data limits. Videos eat up bandwidth.

You can view the new series on the internet for free. Use the Link to Finewoodworking.tv or Finewoodworking.com/roughcut (both go the the same place) and you will get to the Fine Woodworking Live site. Although this is Season 8 of the series, the new host is Tom McLaughlin and he does a great job. Plenty of good layout and hand tool work in the first episode featuring a Shaker-inspired Hall Table. Looks like some good episodes to come as well.

Like dancam, I am fortunate enough to get SC ETV and watched the end of this episode yesterday. My DVR is set to catch the next shows in the series. Hope this helps those that cannot get it on their local cable channels.

Guess I am showing my age referring to a VCR. I actually meant DVR. I watched the show and was pleased with both the pace and the content. Looking forward to future episodes
