Here in South Florida I get PBSU on Direct TV channel 377 and it is all re-runs of the wedge stool, blanket box, chiffionare, hall tree, game table, interlocking planter, cedar shoe rack, bedside table, stilt table (?), There are probably 15-20 at most that are shown over and over. I record them all on TIVO and have watched some several times and learn a little more each time. My favorites are the wedge stool, the bedside table with all of the vertical spokes, and the mirror with the fancy curved top.

keep up the good work. HEY WHERE ARE THE SHOP PHOTOS ???

I finally got the show back in October and have seen the excutive desk 6 times the shoe rack 4 times and the game table 2 times oh yes but not least the coat rack 8 times on my PBS station.

Here are some pictures I took of the back of my table, plans are from CD that I got when I purchased the Porter Cable 895 router. I added an additional slide drawer to hold some of the important stuff.

Hope this helps.

It seems PBS has ceased feeding Router Workshop to both Satellite Providers, as well as a good number of PBS Stations. Sorry to say, PBS is no longer Public Broadcasting System. With almost continous fund raisers and 'special programming' for those events only, desirable shows have dissapeared. Yet another case of the media failing to understand their end user - the viewer, and/or customer. The PBS Link on Router Workshop borders on false advertising.
Now if we could only download the programs from the Wood Working Channel - to view same when time is available? (Rather the show times in the middle of the day or night.) That would be a HUGE PLUS!! ((Is the Show sound low to anyone else?))

Regarding local PBS broadcasting, I recommend contacting your local station(s) and speaking with the program director. I did that a while back and he gave me quite a bit of info on how their programming is obtained. With our local station they show New Yankee when it's new and then after that years series is ran they show the new year of Router Workshop. RW isn't shown when it's new but the shows they broadcast are new, just delayed. I don't remember for sure but I believe they record them to show later after the run of New Yankee. When all of the RW shows are ran for the year they switch back to reruns of older New Yankee shows. I don't remember ever seeing any reruns of RW. There was a lot of other info on other shows including other woodworking shows and how they get them. Speculation and guessing won't always get the correct answers but the phone call I made taught me a lot. Well, unless he wasn't being honest. I think he was. That being said, I'm not a fan at all of PBS because of their strong bias towards the left and that my taxes pay for it but there's not much I can do about that, other than vote.

I share your frustration with PBS's continuous fund raisers, but I also understand why they have to do it. Lack of public support. Government support is drying up and many of the listeners, I would guess the majority, don't contribute. Meanwhile, my local Nashville station continues to show the Router Workshop, New Yankee Workshop, and a number of others for which I am grateful. It has been a long time since I have seen any new episodes.

The sound is OK on the Wood Working Channel but the picture quality is terrible on my computer

awh

I have four local PBS channels (one digital-hd, plus 3 digital), none of them show the Router Workshop... I also happen to have a C-band satellite dish and receive the PBS network feed, only though the network feed am I able to watch it... you'd think that with 672 hours of progrrmaming to fill a week they might be able to squeeze it in! One of their channels they call 'Create', they have a block of shows, that includes the New Yankee Workshop/This Old House, that repeats three times a day!

Is the Router Workshop in production for a 2007 season?

The Router Workshop is not in production at this time. Perhaps if you petition Bob and Rick they will start on another season.

I have just started watching RW on www.thewoodworkinchannel.com. Don't know if they are re-runs or not. I lost all of my episodes on PBS here in Indy a while back. The shows come through pretty clear on the computer surprisingly enough, plus there are some pretty cool other shows on there as well.
