Tennessee is the "Volunteer State"

He simply wants to show top woodworkers around the state. We have world class woodworkers many of whom I photographed their work overvtge years. He did a series called Highland woodworker where he had people teach a skill. Highland woodworking then sold these videos. As you tube got bigger these quitvselling so he started interviewing artists and put these on the state PBS stations. Then he pitched the idea Volunteer Woodworker to the national PBS and they were interested. He came to.my shop and did the first video. I helped him find several others who were friends. Don't know who else he found but we have many in the state. I know he did Alf Sharp who is one of tge top period furniture makers. Jerry Spady is an unknown wood artist with absolutely incredible sculptures. George Wertzal (also known as the Subaru guy from the commercial he was in) he us a blind woodworker and does great work. I'm having memory problems this morning and can't think of a few others I know.
Awesome, John. My recorder is set.
If you have the PBS app on your TV you can watch the show there.
Ni it's supposed to be nationwide.
