I recently started watching him also. Completely different style than
Nahmmy. I like the projects that I have seen him build thus far. Nahm only
makes antique reproductions, Mark seems to make more modern pieces.

I will agree with you that Marks style on camera is a little "rough", but I
think he has a LOT to offer. I will DEFINITELY continue to watch Mark and I
also look forward to Nahmmy's next season.

Ok, let me state at the outset that I like his shows. I'm sure many of
you also appreciate him. I don't want what I'm about to say to be thought
of as a slam of him in any way, and I am not wanting to start an argument
of any sort!

Here goes: Last night, as I was watching him interview Krenov "it"
finally struck me. His delivery is stilted, like when a non-actor is
required to stand in front of a camera to recite some lines of dialog. He
seems to always be reciting, from memory, his lines, with no true feelings
imparted to the dialog. Norm, on the other hand, always seems totally
natural when speaking to the camera.

I've been able to tune in to his shows for only the past few months. I
think he does a credible job of presenting the projects that have been
selected for broadcast. Certainly none of that "and a few brads to hold
it until the glue dries" mentality!

Do any of you also find David's delivery "forced" and unnatural?

I will continue to search the DIY channel listings for his shows and tune
in to any that I've not seen before.

Dave
