I just read through the thread on the "Woodturning Basics" show on DIY Network, and was reminded of another show currently running that some of you might be interested in watching.
There's a show called "Handmade Music" running on DIY. It's a weekly show. Right now they're following the construction of a Martin D-28 style acoustic guitar by luthier Lynn Dudenbostel. They've covered everything pretty well, including harvesting a huge red spruce for the top. I think this weekend is the last of 4 episodes, and it looks like there will be a couple more - a 3 parter on building a mandolin, and a one-parter on building a dulcimer. The guitar series will be repeated in June.
So far, the guitar series has been very interesting. I'm a guitar player, and I know there are many others here. One of these days I'll build one of my own, and this series has given me some good ideas. Looks like I got my Tivo just in time!
The schedule is:
Friday at 10:00 PM
Saturday at 1:00 AM, 10:00 PM
Sunday at 1:00 AM, 8:30 PM & 11:30 PM
(All times Eastern)
