The only thing I ever had a real problem with that Norm did was trying to watch his finishing. As a professional finisher/refinisher, it was really painful sometimes to see the wrong materials used, materials applied incorrectly, and incorrect prep procedures.


Pretty sure Norm started out life as a carpenter, home builder. Not as a fine furniture woodworker. So for him a paint brush or roller and paint or varnish was finishing. Maybe he also had experience with rubbing boiled linseed oil on something too.
