PARKERSBURG, W.Va., Jan. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "The American Woodshop" co-hosts Scott and Suzy Phillips are excited to announce Season 31 of their long-running PBS television show. Thirteen new 30-minute episodes will begin airing on Mondays starting January 8. Check your local PBS station to find airtimes for one of 509 available channels.
"Woodcraft congratulates Scott and Suzy on another season of providing inspiring and educational content for all woodworking skill levels," said Kyle Crabtree, Director of Marketing. "'The American Woodshop' aligns perfectly with Woodcraft's mission to provide educational opportunities for woodworkers."
This season has something for everyone. Wood, glass, iron and stone are just a few of the materials featured in the projects. "We love a challenge!" said co-host Suzy Phillips. "Using different materials keeps woodworking interesting and beautiful." The new episodes feature diverse projects, including a green wood willow chair, a white and red oak Arts & Crafts stand with granite, and floating shelves with live-edges, internal lights and epoxy resins. Through the episodes, viewers will discover interesting techniques including green wood finishing, biscuit joinery, working with leaded glass, and even converting a chair into a rocker.
Now is the time to develop woodworking skills to save money. "Season 31 of 'The American Woodshop' is all about showing folks an easy path to a self-empowered woodworking life," said co-host Scott Phillips.
