Did you see how he made the moulding for the top? Our two PBS's haven't
shown these episodes yet.


He did a multistage router table process, cutting the bottom/front of the
bonnet, and leaving the higher portion of the pediment for later removal.
He used his router table, rather than a shaper, reflecting the tools more
likely to be available to 'one of us'. I thought that the procedure was
shown in greater detail than most of the rest, since it was really new
ground for his program. I also thought that, having seen how he did it, I
could conceivably do something like that myself, with the tooling already
in my shop. Not that I regularly aspire to Queen Anne style.

Norm made a comment on the episode of TOH that aired this week in the Bay
Area that this highboy piece was the most challenging project he had
tackled to date. So it seemed to me.

Once again, he showed his real talent, which is making things accessible,
and empowering hobbyists. The pros already know this stuff.
