Good with Wood

I was lucky and started with season 2 and went back to season 1. I'm glad I did, season 2 has some talented people on show with some good fine woodworking and nice joints. Compare that to season 1 where they were at best mediocre with mostly screws and glue, almost no handcut joints or precision joinery. Definitely not Britain's best woodworkers. Stick with season 2.

Mel Giedroyc as ever is a delight and the best thing in season 1.

The show itself is interesting but sometimes focuses too much on the judges subjective design preferences, rather than showcasing woodworking skills. Hopefully it'll continue to evolve as time goes on.

I so love to see them working with wood. However wish we didn't have to have the smutty innuendo comments, but then it is channel 4 who love that. Have all the typical stereotypes, ie gay, etc etc. Don't mind this but wish it wasn't pushed down your throat all the time. It is the art work that's interesting.

The judges say all the same things they do in all these shows, and have to be too critical at times. Would like to see them doing some of the tasks, they do on the pottery show. And on other shows of a similar ilk we know their experience in tasks.

The show could be so much better with better, interesting fair judges and a compère who doesn't spoil everything.

This show could have been great, apart from (1) too much glue - we don't get to see enough skill and (2) so many sexualised concepts / smutty jokes (especially season 2) - the conversation totally puts me off taking this up as a class/club activity. Although skills like woodwork are traditionally passed down through families, this really isn't a show different generations can enjoy together, despite being on at 8pm. We really need more footage of the actual making and less of the unappealing banter. It is especially off-putting for my autistic relative, who loves project/skills shows normally.

Hard to find anything to praise. Judges are both obnoxious and we never get any sense that they can make so much as a breadboard themselves. I have no idea why the bloke dresses the way he does. Contestants seem uniformly amateurish ie not very good with wood. Tasks are bizarre and unrealizable. No idea what the sheepish technicians actually do except presumably prevent accidental amputations.

I make boats and guitars and wouldn't let any of the contestants in my workshop without a responsible adult in charge.

A pleasant show to watch, I was really glad I found it. The concept was good and the location interesting. It ceratinly was something my wife and I looked forward to each week. But let's get down to judging.... Contestants ...great, 10 out of 10. Host 5 , humour was good. Inappropriate humour...not so good. Judges... plain annoying. 2.
