Sure, there were a couple of minor cuts that I noticed at
first, but after building the panel cutter, panel raising jig, and
circle cutting jig, they stopped. They cut out one of the items
entirely--the finger boards. I was shocked enough when I looked at my
stopwatch on the first viewing and saw 19:43, but as I viewed the
original and found one fourth of the projects missing I was simply
stunned.

I think I'm going to be sick. I know I said that already. I don't
think I can say it too much. If that's the standard to which DIY is
going to air TNYW episodes, I'll recommend you not bother to watch.

So we shouldn't watch that episode because making the all important
fingerboard was omitted?

Death of a thousand cuts. It was much more than the fingerboard. I
also erred--it wasn't one out of four projects--I forgot the tapering
jig he built. They left out one out of five. That doesn't diminish my
pique.

Well, I guess that makes sense on someone's planet, but not mine.

Good for you.

Don't you have anything more important to be
shocked about?

Probably, but I also have time to be shocked about this.

I see no reason to complain, 90% of Norm is better than
no Norm at all.

I can hardly disagree there, but if you view it from the expectation
of 100% of Norm then there is a problem.

Why not send your objections to Morash? I bet he'd
also be shocked to learn of this travesty.

It depends. If it's strictly a money thing, then I doubt he'd care a
whit. If he's truly an artist, then the prospect of 20% of his work
being chopped up for profit might in fact shock him.
