That guy’s channel is amazing. He’s charismatic in a way that is, to me, completely unpretentious. I’m never gonna do anything that I watch on his channel. It’s just enjoyable to watch someone great at what they do. I’m having fun viviparously, except pretend I remembered the correct word that eludes me atm.
No that will kill him if he follows the tv/ book/ day time talk show format. Don’t do it. Keep control of your content.
Brilliant
No, he doesn’t need a TV deal because that would take away his independence.
No, he doesn’t.
He is doing what he loves and makes a living.
And if anyone is thinking the tradition is dead – it’s not. A lot of people buy old tools and restore them. A lot of people is doing handtools woodworking. For some reason it’s really popular amongst IT people. I’m restoring tools and doing traditional woodworking projects for almost 3 decades. Heck there was a time that I bought almost all hand tools in car boot sales in Mayo. Then, just before COVID sellers started to use terms “antique” “collector’s item”. No, I won’t give you 80 quid for a badly machined No 4 plane, just because it’s from 1950s. Eoin is lucky to be from Cork as there traditionally woodworking tools were more popular than in Mayo for example.
Back to Eoin – let him do what’s he is doing. Support him, spread the word,. Just please, please don’t tie him in some stupid contracts.
Strange that people are against it, like they are here to protect him, very strange reaction.
The guy is very active on social media about his craft, it’s not a huge leap to suggest he would like to broaden his reach and make it more mainstream. I would love to see him with his own TV show, I would certainly watch it. But the point is, he should be identified by our state broadcaster and offered it, it’s then up to him if he wants to go down that route.
If he was English he’d probably already been given a TV show, very much like a Fred Dibnah character.
Why does he need to be on TV? What he does is perfect for social media.
Fuck TV. That would ruin everything.
TV deal with who? He already has an international audience on YouTube and TikTok so having a show on RTE would actually be a step down for him. That being said he has a very charismatic and watchable style so I wouldn’t be against seeing him in other contexts.
I’ve seen his 241 or 242 van with his name and socials across it, I’d say he’s doing perfectly fine without losing some freedom to tv contracts.

I used to love watching “Hands” when it was on
