Default Is anyone else getting fed up with Norm?

now I'm irritated again.


Simple solution for that ... hit the "next" button.

For me, as one whose interest in furniture design has developed and advanced
beyond simply copying a plan, it is the _project_ itself, followed by Norm's
take on the joinery/method of construction of each, that has become the
focus of my interest in his shows ... not the tools he chooses for each
step.

IOW, the more complicated the projects that I've designed and built _without
benefit of plans_, the more I have begun to appreciate Norm's take on the
methodology of constructing the project, whether it reaffirms, or differs
from, what I have already figured out on my own as the best way to do
something.

Then there was Bruce Johnson ... proving there are some you just can't learn
a damn thing from ... unless it's how not to.
