Bosch Axial-Glide Miter Saw Already On ebay

by Chris     June 05, 2010    

The newest Bosch miter saw (GCM12SD) was just announced a few days ago and is not scheduled to be released for a few months, but it looks like Ebay is ahead of the game. Ebay has a listing for the new saw with the current bid at only $330. The company selling the saw lists themselves as a freight recovery specialist, so I would guess this is a saw that never made it to its proper location and is probably something Bosch is missing. Check out the listing for yourself, but I would not be surprised if it ends up being pulled.

Podcaster To Replace The New Yankee Workshop

by Chris     June 03, 2010    

The retirement of the popular TV show the New Yankee Workshop left a void in the fans of woodworking lovers. We can not blame Norm Abrams for ending the long time running TV show that probably took up most of his time, but we will still miss it. Thankfully you can still catch his show on reruns, and even online; but that doesn't change the fact that the show is gone.

Now we hear news of a new show that is coming from the same PBS station that brought us the New Yankee Workshop, WGBH-TV. The new show called "Rough Cut Woodworking With Tommy Mac" is a big step forward for host Thomas MacDonald that takes him from video podcaster to the national public television spotlight. The show will air in October on PBS stations and on the PBS digital cable channel, Create. If you just cant wait until October, you can check out the Tommy Mac 207 podcast to get an idea of what the PBS show might be like.
