I've been thinking about taking a carving class, and these books would be a great intro!

For this year, I surely need some good sharpening gear to sharpen all of the tools I recieved last year!

Having no experience in woodworking when I first watched Norm, I was always intrigued with how his projects came together. After a while I began to think that I might actually be able to do some of those projects myself. Although beginning at a relatively advanced age, I've finally amassed a garage full of tools, many of which are stored in the cabinets I learned to make from watching the "Garage Workshop" episode. I've recently made a few jigs for the shop, also based on the NYW, and I look forward to putting them to use as I take on some new projects and further my woodworking skills. I don't know that I would have gone down this path if not for Norm and the New Yankee Workshop, as I don't recall any other series that instructed and inspired in quite the same way. Thanks Norm.
