Joy of simplicity
One cheap-ass cable channel has been showing NYW episodes from 1991.
When I watched the first one I soon felt a different attitude than I have to the last few years. I realized that I was somehow more "comfortable" with what Norm was doing because he was (at least 15 years ago) closer to me in technical standards. He was using a drum sanding attachment to his drill press, and a morticing attachment. He belt-sanded panels. His jointer wasn't big enough to handle a sequoia. His featherboards were laughably ragged with teeth missing. In all, I could "relate" because he was making furniture more than he was operating wowser machinery. Bring on 1992. FoggyTown |

You didn't see the Shop Smith, the craftsman saw and the other antiques? I was just intrigued how "bare" the shop looked without all the new doo-dahs. Not even a tenoning jig to be seen! He was making tenons with TS and BS. FoggyTown |
