The Woodwright's Shop was an American traditional woodworking show hosted by master carpenter Roy Underhill and airing on television network PBS. It is one of the longest running how to shows on PBS, with thirty five 13 episode seasons produced. Since its debut in 1979, the show has aired over 400 episodes. The first two seasons were broadcast only on public TV in North Carolina; the season numbering was restarted when the show went national in 1981. It is filmed at the UNC TV (University of North Carolina Center for Public Television) studios in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. It is no longer being produced.

The Woodwright's Shop teaches the art of traditional woodworking, using hand tools and human powered machines. Viewers learn how to make furniture, toys, and other useful objects out of wood. Viewers also learn how to lay out wood projects and which tools to use for specific purposes. The show also teaches viewers how to use tools properly. The host, Roy Underhill, instructs viewers on creating wooden joints using hand tools and machine tools.

Underhill often shows the viewers how to create several useful and strong wooden joints, which are commonly used in carpentry. Mortise and tenon: This joint is often used for two pieces of wood that attach at right angles to each other in a "T" shape. Tongue and groove: Tongue and groove joints are typically used for large surfaces such as a series of wooden panels on a wall or a table top. Dovetail joint: This joint is typically used for the corners of boxes. Rabbet: A rabbet joint is one of the simplest joints used on the show. Timber framing techniques are often used in conjunction with the wood joints described on the show.

Hand tools are a major focus of the show. All of the hand tools used on the show are manually operated (i. e. non electric). Chisel: The chisel is one of the most commonly used tools on the show and is typically used to shave down material and to square up holes. Wooden mallet: The mallet is often used to drive the chisel into the workpiece. Bow saw: The bow saw is often used by Underhill to cut large pieces of wood and to make curved cuts. Brace and bit: Most of the drilling on the show is done with a brace and bit which is a hand powered drill. Plane: Underhill uses the plane to level out surfaces and to square up joints. Hatchet: Large pieces of wood are cut down to manageable size with a hatchet. Drawknife: This tool is often used to quickly remove excess material. Adze: The adze is used to hollow out surfaces like a chair seat. Proper handling and maintenance of tools is also part of the show. This includes the sharpening and sometimes making of tools, such as a scraper made from an old saw blade.

The most commonly used machine tool on the show is the lathe. Underhill typically uses a treadle lathe, but has also shown the viewers how to build and operate a spring pole lathe. He also often uses a gouge, in conjunction with his lathe, to remove material and smooth out a workpiece. One of the simplest types of machines used on the show is a miter box. This is used to create square and perpendicular saw cuts, or to create saw cuts at a specific angle.

The show started as an idea that Roy Underhill had in 1976. He built a workshop and historic museum in Durham, North Carolina, in the mid 1970s. He called it "The Woodwright's Shop" and started teaching classes on how to build things out of wood. Underhill pitched the show idea to the PBS affiliate in Chapel Hill in 1978 but was rejected. He tried again in 1979 and filmed a pilot. Initially, he was concerned about using the made up term in the show's title, but decided to use it anyway. The show does not have a real script; instead, Underhill works out the story he is going to present and how to do it. He decides where camera shots are needed and sets workpieces and tools in those locations. A dumbhead is a clamping fixture on a foot operated shaving horse used to hold unseasoned ("green") wood. On one occasion, Roy seriously injured his hand with a hatchet.

Roy Underhill is the host and creator of The Woodwright's Shop. He graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a B. F. A. in theater direction. Roy went to Duke University for environmental studies in the mid 1970s. For his thesis, he did a live presentation titled "How to start with a tree and an axe and build your house and everything in it." Roy's wife and children have appeared on various episodes over the show's thirty plus year span of production.

Each season of The Woodwright's Shop consists of 13 episodes broadcast during the last 13 weeks of the year, typically starting at the beginning of October.

The show was first released on VHS tapes in 1993. In April 2012, Popular Woodworking announced an exclusive deal to bring the show to DVD, beginning with the first three seasons and Season 20. The current season of the show can be watched online at the PBS video website. Also, the last few seasons of the show can be watched online at the official website.
