How lucrative that would be. I think he's truly driven to bring back his niche of the lost art of self reliance. He has my respect for being a true frontier given the time period he got it all started. That was truly the time of the power tool even more so than now, I think. The time of one tool does all gizmos.
Attaboy Roy!

Actually a lot more like our Channel 31 or it's variants in other states, very little money to go round, and lots of groups trying to get a share of it and the airtime.
Not only did he start with PBS, he has stayed with them. A lot of local acts started out in public broadcasting as an interest, and headed for the money when there was some on offer, (thinking radio here as public TV is still fairly new to Oz).
Stusshed and others had it good, they were able to start up with the internet and could find an audience that way. Roy, Norm and Router Workshop had to pioneer the format, get an audience and convince the public networks that it was worth the precious airtime.
Pity it's so hard to get hold of Roy's earlier efforts.
