Default Is anyone else getting fed up with Norm?

I just get fed up when he starts a project and then " now I'll just take
this to my dedicated molding machine" followed by " now I'll just take this
to my dedicated mortising machine", etc. If I had a dedicated molding
machine, etc I certainly wouldn't need Nahm to help me.

IMHO, if the show is aimed at home woodworkers in general, then stay with
basic tools and teach how to make things with them.

rant mode off -

Now I feel better,

Keep in mind that Morash supplies the funding of all those cool
dedicated machines.


Actually, having worked for an underwriter, I believe it is they who
supply all those nice machines. And since they are restricted in the
manner in which they can hawk same, the agreement is usually that they
will be used on the show for appropriate operations.

I don't mind that. If it were not for the underwriters, there would
be no show. There is often an alternative operation if you don't
happen to have the dedicated whatever, and more often and not I don't

No wonder it takes me 2 weeks to build the same
project Norm makes in two days. At least my project is not filled
with brad nails.
