Gov. on Woodwright Show

[rickc]

A member of the Triangle Woodworker's Association sent me this information. Have not seen it posted (please forgive me if it is a duplicate) but thought it might be interesting:

"Just found out that Governor Easley will appear on The Woodright's show on December 29th. at 4P.M. on channel 4. The Governor will show tables he has made for the Mansion. He has a shop set-up in the mansion ."

I saw that on one of the Greensboro area local news stations Fox 8 I believe it was. They were doing a story about his hobby.

I too saw that news brief on WRAL - http://www.wral.com/news/news_briefs/story/2227304/

It sounds like he's a Plugger too :icon_thum

The Time Warner guide shows a Woodwright's Shop episode on Cherokee Woodworkers tomorrow at 4pm on UNC-TV. Is this the show with Mike Easley?

Does anyone know whether or not they still have woodshops in prisons?

Executive priviledge, I guess!:rolf:

 

[TBone]

Apparently his woodworking skills are better than his race car driving skills :rolf:

Actually, I heard he cut himself during the taping of the show but they edited that out. Based on history, he may just be an acident looking for a place to happen. Course if I was using a chisel to do what he was doing I might cut myself too. I'm kinda partial to using a bandsaw, scroll saw, jigsaw, or coping saw to do what he was doing with a chisel. I'd be interested in knowing what the rest of you think of his "poboy" table.

I thought he did quite well for himself without that bandsaw, router table ect.. Handtools for most of us are a favorite but there have been some improvements I would hate to do without. Harry

I just finished watching it. I mentioned to my wife how I didn't understand how the first walnut table he made back in the 70's didn't split the mitered frame around the solid top field (no allowance for movement). She said "that's why he's the Governor and you aren't" :eusa_doh::eusa_doh:
That was one of the more interesting Woodwright's Shop I've seen in awhile.

Why isn't Governor Easley a member of NCWoodWorker.net?

That applies to me also. I missed the show, I wanted to make a trip to Woodcraft and that was the only timeframe I could get up there.

Maybe he is and we just don't know:eusa_thin.
