This came up in my YT feed. It’s worth watching if you enjoy suitably attired skilled craftsmen at work.

I hope the apprentice is now running the company.

I have watched several of these. They are good, for sure.

The grandson was on UKWW about 10years ago. At the time the workshop still existed but hadnt been used for an age.

I watched this a few years ago. It's well worth putting alittle time aside for.

A good reminder of an excellent series. And no producer insisting that all the customers must cry at the end!

I think wearing a tie was very much 'de rigour' in a workshop years ago. I seem to recollect that even at Shoreditch College in the 70's, one particular tutor wouldn't let scruffy students into his workshop unless they were suitably dressed - Rob

Quite so! Don't let your standards slip!

When I was about 10 so mid 60’s we had work done on the house and I remember watching a proper old school joiner cutting and fitting lots of little bits of mitred trim on some panelling, but even at the time I was a bit impressed by his wearing a tie and a tweed sports jacket which he took off and hung up before he started work.
