Betcha, 'all the fun stuff'.
I've watched that program a few times re jobs I have/had some familiarity with and tuned out after a half hour or so. Talk about 'slant-to-entertain' ... where's the 'educaton'? Gee golly,
why wouldn't I want to peen the tubes on a boiler in a hot shed? It's so ... masculine! (?)
OTOH, I watched 'em shrink a tire on a wheel, and that was pretty good. All you had to know was what the H**l they were doing, and uh, why they would want to. The shots of the fiery furnace are still embedded in my retinas. And I was/am (when the dire need arises, & I can draft a son or son-in-law for a striker) a blacksmith. (I also shod workhorses for real, in my twenties--there's a sucky job for you). Like, you incorrectly drive a shoenail into the quick and the horse yanks his hoof--replete with previous unclenched nails-- from between your thighs, leaving only tattered denim and some small amount of blood. And the old guy who's directing you says, "That-there's why you should wear a leather apron."
Grumble.

Thank the Lord for a no-nonsense father and a seriously cool great uncle.
