As has been written here many times, Norm probably didn't frighten
Maloof or Krenov a whole lot. We all wince when the glue bottle, the
brad nailer, or the poly brush come out, but he probably had more
influence on the popularity of hobby woodworking than anybody. Even if
a fan never brandishes a jig saw in anger, there can be an appreciation
of the effort (and talent) involved involved in making a decent bench or
dresser and that can't be bad for those trying to make a buck.
