I do have some full pictures. They aren't good though since The drop cloth I had wasn't big enough to cover a nice angled full size photo. I really do wish I had got pro photos though since the desk is beautiful in person!

I don't know if any one else has watched his podcasts or not but he is a joke. He doesn't know the dif. between a table saw throatplate his hand, or talking about parring a dovetail with a chisel and calls it a this and that? Common he doesn't come close to Norm,David or any of the other great woodworkers we have all grown to love and learn from. I am willing to give him a chance on a show but he is a greenhorn still cutting his baby teeth. Sorry but that is my honest opinion.
posted: 3:15 pm on March 13thnow that was funny... have you seen the bombe??... i usually don't like to argue but Tommy will make a great host for the new show. I've been to his shop a few times and he doesn't have tons of fancy equipment. He has the essentials and even though he may have a Sawstop or the big powermatics in the end he has a table saw, a bandsaw, router table, a planer, and jointer. the brand doesn't matter or the size of the tool I'd say that's pretty bare bones as far as tools goes. And he built the bombe with that.
I'll really enjoy watching the show because he has some personality that he brings to the table and its a more interactive show. Norm started me in the craft and i admire him in every way shape and form but i always thought his show showed so little of the project that you never really got enough to go out and make it. Tommy presents the project in a way that you can understand it as Norm did and with the addition of hand tools i think his show will be a great success.
and for all you guys who say you didn't like his podcasts because they didn't show you the how as much. His podcasts are more just showing what's up and having some fun. For anyone who has his DVD's he is a great instructor and will do great on the show!
