Let get ahold of the Pope and see if we can get Norm canonize for sainthood. I remember a few years back many readers of FWW were ready to hang the editors for have St. Norm even on the cover of their mag. How times have changed!

You don't think that Morash worked with Norm to clean-up his language and edit out his mistakes...come on get real. WGBH will do the same with Tommy. Tommy has been working hard over the last several years without any support from anyone and has not asked for anything from anyone. While you nay sayers are out there hammering this guy, stop and think for a minute how many free videos (podcast) has other NBSS or College of the Redwoods alumnus put out there with some real techniques. In addition, Tommy has had Steve Brown, one of class insturctors at NBSS, in different videos giving away techniques for free. (Again, where are anyone else trying to get other highly regard instructors in the field on videos.

Yeah, I agree Tommy is rough around the edges, sure he seems a little unprepared and forgets some names of tools while he is on camera. But remember this almost all of his video are being recorded by him operating a camera and showing a technique at the same time. You try that sometime and see how well you can do. I am look forward to Tommy and his show. We have too many hobbist who were either self taught or did a short six month apprentice with another self taught woodworker professing to be professionals trying to teach us woodworking.
