My Life on TV Well, who knew that all the various jobs I’ve done in my past and all the various hats i have worn would have led me, mysteriously, to my new job, that of weapon master for the tv show “Weapon Masters” for Discovery Channel? It turns out that Being an artist for most of my life has Uniquely qualified me for my new title, “the ed mcmahon or “the vanna white” of ancient weapons” . Chad, the co-host of the show, has been a long time friend of mine and when he called me up after filming the first episode, “Katana” and said, “I need help, bad!” I said, “what the hell. This sounds like fun.” ten months later we’ve had a lot of fun, some tears, a small amount of damage to my psyche and ten shows in the can. For more information on the show and airing schedule, go to the Military Channel web site. --Timothy Makepeace 2007
