- Again, you definitely need to watch more closely. I was just watching
- some shows from a previous season that I had taped, and Norm did
- *EXACTLY* what you claim he doesn't. He had a problem to solve (how to
- make a particular cut) and went through 4 or 5 alternate methods,
- giving his reasons why he thought they would not be very good. He
- finally settled on the tool he used because it lacked the flaws of the
- ones mentioned up to that point (sorry for the lack of details - I am
- on the road, and I watched the tape last week).
-
- If you really pay attention, you will probably find that the most
- commonly used "esoteric gimcrack" in Norm's repetoire is the common
- router!
-
- I was much impressed with the plant stand he did last week. Especially the
- part where he actually showed the viewer how to make the taper jig. Those
- kind of hints are invaluable to me. I have my share of complaints, but
- overall I get a lot out of the show.
