taktines2 Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 Doesn't his older brother die as a result of an accident from using that table saw? Big sawmill saw too. We don't want to watch that! I guess it's a movie based on a true story. His older brother died as a result of an accident at a sawmill he worked at.

jHop Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 Gone in 60 seconds. The bad guy was very passionate about WW and killing. Raymond Calitri, street name of "the Carpenter," calls wood warm and metal cold. Mostly craftsman style furniture. Actor (Christopher Eccleston) later took the role of Dr. Who. As for TV shows, new series on AMC by the name of Hell On Wheels has a couple of moments talking about carpenters, including building (mostly assembling on screen) a windmill. (Happens to show a close-up on some of the mechanisms behind the pump function in Season 3 - available on Netflix - , tying in to this month's whirlygig challenge.)

Freddie Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 As for tv shows, parks and rec is probably my favorite show to watch. Plus, it has Ron Swanson, and we all know Ron Swanson is a god among men. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knotscott Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 The Witness, with Harrison Ford featured a lot of woodworking on an Amish farm. He fixed a bird or bat house that he knocked down, and helped build a barn. High Crimes, with Jim Caviezel in a professional woodworking shop.... (Ashley Judd, Morgan Freeman) Both excellent movies, BTW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beechwood Chip Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 The Witness, with Harrison Ford featured a lot of woodworking on an Amish farm. He fixed a bird or bat house that he knocked down, and helped build a barn. That's a good movie - thanks for recommending it. That's not a bat house - bat houses have opening on the bottom. That's a house for martins, I'm pretty sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wouldwurker Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Breaking Bad - Series Finale Adam Carolla has a new crowd funded movie coming out called Road Hard. Nick Offerman's (Parks and Rec) woodshop will be featured in the movie. Parks and Recreation. Nick Offerman's character's woodworking is often featured in the show. (since you can tell I'm a fan...check out his book, 'Paddle your own Canoe'.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WudButcher Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Watching an old Leave It To Beaver show the other day and saw Ward had a Shopsmith in his garage. The boys and dad in that family were always fixing or building something in that garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChetlovesMer Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Season 4 of Dexter features John Lithgow as a Serial Killer who also builds houses for the poor in his spare time. There is one episode about 6 weeks into the season where Lithgow cuts down a tree and uses hand tools to cut up the tree and even a hand plane to plane the boards down before finally building a coffin. I think the handplane was an LN #4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wouldwurker Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Best part of Lithgow's shop is the outline around each tool ( mostly hammers) on the pegboard. Do people still do that? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Tarbell Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Still Mine is a recent movie where the lead guy has a saw mill and builds a house. Pretty good movie. Both the wife and I liked it quite a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wooooooood Posted September 13, 2021 Report Share Posted September 13, 2021 I just saw an interesting movie. I decided to look for more and here I ended up. It's been 7 years since you started this subject and there has been no further development. I'm here to open a new door. You should really try "Escape From Pretoria". Let me know if you enjoyed.

difalkner Posted September 13, 2021 Report Share Posted September 13, 2021 Even though this is an old thread I'll add one more to the mix - there's a Christian movie WWJD II, The Woodcarver that has much of the movie set in a woodshop and/or talking about wood and carving. There are a few woodworking errors in the movie but only woodworkers will see these. And they are actually doing woodworking, not just showing tools and finished pieces. We have the DVD and the behind the scenes bonus feature is pretty good, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted September 14, 2021 Report Share Posted September 14, 2021 @difalkner, is that the one with 'Cliff' from Cheers? Can't recall the actor's real name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
