Sunday 3/21, 9:30 PM ET: Mike Dunbar
Author and educator Mike Dunbar has been running the premier Windsor chairmaking school in the country for decades and is a master of not only the chairmaking process, but also the history and engineering of Windsor chairs. He's also a proponent of the famous (infamous? :) "scary sharp" system of sharpening with sandpaper. Bring your questions about any aspect of chairmaking, hand tools, Windsor furniture theory or Mike's school programs, and Mike will try to answer them.
Tuesday 3/23, 9:30 PM ET: Roy Underhill
TV personality Roy Underhill needs no introduction. His smiling countenance has been lighting up television screens for over 20 years now. Roy isn't just a character actor, though... He's a highly-respected authority on early American tools and technologies. He spent 17 years at Colonial Williamsburg, first as master housewright then acting as director of interpretive development. Here's your chance to chat with Roy in person and to learn a lot about early tools and construction methods.
