Episode Recorded April 17,  2021. 

Woodworking enthusiast Roy Underhill sits down with us to share his experience teaching students and his belief that both hand skills and materials shape us in a profound way. Roy teaches students both in person, online, and for 37 years on the popular PBS television show “The Woodwright’s Shop.” Through those outlets Roy has shared his passion for hand tool woodworking and loves contributing to questions and knowledge surrounding woodworking and its history.  

To find Roy, walk through the City Tap bar in Pittsboro, NC and into The Woodwrights School. He also teaches online for students who can’t come to North Carolina. Roys television show,  The Woodwrights Shop has 37 seasons of episodes where you can access the history of American woodworking and Roy’s career as a teacher.

Roy’s craft crushes: Are folks who both sell their work and teach, and anyone who can restore our faith in humanity.
