Tommy rotates sidekicks every week. There have been some repeats, but he's had a lot of different ones already too. Sometimes he brings in an expert to help teach a concept (like carving ball and claw feet recently).
Woodcraft is Rough Cut's exclusive sponsor. I'm pretty sure they just handed Tommy a Woodcraft catalog and said to order whatever he wants. All the tools look brand new, top of the line, and most, if not all, are sold by Woodcraft.
Well, include me impressed with Tommy MacDonald. Let me put it this way, none of my employees would store a circular saw on the floor leaving it plugged into an extension cord creating a slip and fall potential. I also do not advocate swinging blade guards and duct collection out of the way on table saws, perhaps to enhance the photo opportunities. It is a Saw Stop, but still, that is passing along dangerous habits to the viewing audience.
Or I might just be two generations older than Tommy MacDonald, so expressions such as "Easy Breezy" with respect to putative fine woodworking grate on my ears.
