I started out with power tools under the maxim, "if I can clamp it and hold it still, the power tool will do the work for me." After much sawdust eating, and ringing ears, I'm appreciating hand tools, and fine planes and dovetail saws are something I'm beginning to need.

My wife and I loved watching Norm all these years. It helped her understand what actually goes into the craft, giving her a great appreciation for it, and gave me the confidence I needed to attempt new projects and techniques. That show will be sorely missed.
