Hi All,
Exciting news! There’s a new woodworking show coming to the internet in September called ‘Into The Workshop’. This is an independent production brought to you by the combined forces of three outstanding woodworkers, John Sillaots, Ken Tunnard and myself, Gord Graff.
Follow this link to the show’s video trailer……http://blip.tv/file/942711/
John Sillaots you may remember as host of ‘In The Workshop’ an HGTV production. John has written many articles for a variety of publications and continues to travel across Canada doing presentations on a variety of topics from home renos to woodworking. John is well known for inspiring do-it-yourselfers and is looking forward to sharing his many tips with you.
Ken Tunnard is a professional woodworker, author and instructor with an artistic talent for creating classic pieces with unconventional detailing. His well planned projects often include turnings, veneers and steam bending – talk about pushing the inspirational button!!
And, of course, there’s me Gord Graff, a woodworking instructor, author and pod caster, with a special interest in woodworking jigs. It’s been said that my success lies in the ability to combine a woodworking talent with an artistic flair. I am passionately creative and am looking forward to demystifying the woodworking experience with you.
I’ll be in great company hosting along side John and Ken. The combined woodworking talent, experience, passion and commitment that we all share will be entertaining as well as an inspiration to all who are interested in woodworking regardless of skill level. We are committed to delivering ‘Into The Workshop’ in an honest, up-beat and positive manner.
Watch for upcoming information about start dates and show times and if you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to email me at gordgraff@rogers.com
Get ready to clear off your workbench ‘Into The Workshop’ is just around the corner.
All the best
Gord

Gord,
Kudos to the three of you. I am sure this will be another fine effort given the videos that you have produced. Now can you find me some spare time as well? It seems like it is getting harder to find time to handle all the on-line reviews and get stuff done in the shop.
I will be looking forward to seeing the show.

Hi All,
Thanks for your kind words.
By the way, the show topics for the most part will be audience driven…………….that’s right, the woodworking viewer having a say as to what projects or topics make it to the air.
All the best

As someone who’s limited woodworking skills are entirely the result of watching online woodworking videos, I’m very much looking forward to your new series :)

I like projects complicated ones, show all machine set ups and all the test cuts. explain how you make adjustments based on results of the test cuts.

Sounds like a great new information resource for us woodworkers – there just can’t be enough good information for me, I soak it all in. I’ll be anxiously waiting for the first segment. Thank you guys for your efforts – hopefully it will be a success for you guys.

It appears the trailer has been removed from the host. Bummer… Best of luck, I look forward to learning something from you guys. Id be particularly interested in biometrically secured, mechanically activated drawer systems.
