He is 100% an actor, 100% woodworker, and 100% a real man. If you’ve ever seen him in person attacking a piece of tree with a sharp object you would have no doubt. What’s more? All of his different aspects add up to 400 percent! You hit it on the head yourself mentioning the spirit episode, is that not soliloque? We love you Roy and our class at The Woodwrights School was an absolutely sublime and unforgettable piece of our lives. I love your show but there is nothing like being there in person to see you work your magic (and spill glue all over too!) James and Maria, Tampa Florida. Damn retiring young, we’re buying your videos instead!

It was great. I would love to see it again.

The Woodwright’s Shop is not, or at least not exclusively, about woodworking, or a “how-to” show. Roy’s episode on “The Spirit of Woodworking” says a lot about his approach and philosophy. And he makes us laugh while he does it.

Look at how it’s aged him over the years.

Roy starts out by explaining that the nutcrackers were originally made as caricatures of Authority Figures, for example soldiers, princes, deacons, etc. He lets that sink in for quite a while before he pulls out the Nahm.

The GF gave me all 3 DVDs for a birthday present. Watching them has been a blast. Can’t wait for more.
