new DIY carving programs?

[Hi_Ho_Sliver]

We talked about this but not sure the final result? Most of us on here do not get DIY, is there anyway to get copies of the carving programs? vhs, dvd, cd for computer etc? thanks Dave

Hi_Ho_Sliver,

I was wondering that too so I had contacted the people at DIY website and they basically just told me no. They cannot or just do not want to sell any videos, dvd's, or cd which I do not understand why not. I told them they should because I'm sure they could make $ doing so. Anyway, that's all I know about it.

not too impressed with DIY anyway, too bad its not on the learning channel or HGTV

We're trying...but I'd suggest writing to those networks suggesting that they do something on carving...and suggest they use us as a resource!!!!

Yesterday i was on there site and they have the carving show broke down step by step how it was done by taking stills from the tapes of the shows. Guess it's better than nothing at all. Mike

hey all do as bob suggested and keep emailing DIY,HGTV,Discovery home or any channel you might think will carry it or Directv directly and suggesting more woodcarving programming.I recently upped my subscription to try and get more art and artists programming and much to my disgust I kind of wasted my money and so I emailed them and asked for more woodcarving and art and artists programming! Also told them how much I enjoyed the one woodsculpting series they had 5 episodes of that I had to stay up until 1 a.m. to see!!Squeaky wheels get grease!!Im paying top dollar and still not seeing what I want to see! Im going to squeak and squeak and squeak!! haha Lazyj

I just wanted to pop in here to tell you folks that the RFDTV channel will show a carver on there now and then too. Channel 9304 or some such number.. waaaay up there on top.

I watch rfd too great programming for farm folks and ranchers.Give us a heads up when you know a carving program is coming on and I will watch more carefully for them there too...thanks! lazyj

Gosh darn it! I've only got the Dish-120 programming and I just can't fork out another $100./year for the next programming package that has DIY!! Heck, I'm already paying about $450./year after they upped my package by 9% this year... but I paid it!

I'd rather pay $200./year for the ten channels of my choice but the programmers know that we're addicted and will pay just about anything just like we'll pay anything for gasoline so I guess that'll never happen.

Rant over. Thanks for listening :-)

Hey lightningbolt,It wouldn't matter if you did up your programming...I did and it didn't help...I still didn't get what I wanted haha...oh well but Im not giving up everytime I think about Im going to email somebody something.I mean its free haha and I definitely have the time to do it! Maybe someday someone will give me what I ask for...doubtful but it could become my new hobby.lazyj
