Like all of the other posters, I have watched Norm for many years and have tried my hand at many woodworking projects because of his influence. He has done more than ony other single individual to promote the hobby of woodworking. While it would indeed be difficult to find someone as at ease in instructing non-masters in the craft, surely the concept of The New Yankee Workshop, which Norm made into such an icon, should be preserved. There's a whole other generation of aspiring woodworkers to be taught. Norm's decision is easy to understand after so many years; hopefully, economics or other outside forces aren't gathering to shut down the whole idea of NYW.
