Re: New Yankee Workshop Videos - PSA - smithgl12 - 08-14-2015 Awesome. Thanks. I watched the breakfront cabinet over breakfast. Only Norm can make dovetail drawers out of MDF and make you say, "That looks good. I should try that" Re: New Yankee Workshop Videos - PSA - Mark A Smith - 08-15-2015 AgGEM said: I think he had a tremendous impact on many of us who are into woodworking now. I also think he contributed greatly to the bottom line of a number of tool and equipment manufacturers.

As I have evolved, my projects, tools, and processes have evolved too. But I would have never known how to get started without him. Ag [/blockquote] My feelings exactly! Re: New Yankee Workshop Videos - PSA - Alaric - 08-17-2015 The biggest thing I thank Norm for was giving me confidence, showing me that I could take on more sophisticated projects and taking the intimidation out of it. Also, by being able to watch the process week after week I learned that the real key to the hobby was to just take my time and enjoy the process more than the results. Re: New Yankee Workshop Videos - PSA - Tapper - 08-17-2015 Norm was the best, IMHO! Never would've gotten this deep into the hobby without watching his shows; still miss him. He had that special knack of being able to both build and explain effectively at the same time. Doug Re: New Yankee Workshop Videos - PSA - badwhiskey - 08-18-2015 Same here. I owe Norm a big thanks.

No. But between He and Russell Morash they explained, showed us and made us feel it wasn't so mysterious after all and we could do it. And yeah, buying the gadgets he demoed wouldn't hurt either Kept Delta $ flowing for years. Re: New Yankee Workshop Videos - PSA - John Mihich - 08-21-2015 Without a doubt he sure took the mystery out of wood working. He did so many ways of doing the same thing. Of course him gaining tools did inspire me to buy more. Re: New Yankee Workshop Videos - PSA - spirit_of_ny - 08-23-2015 I love Norm, and just watched the medicine cabinet...but I held my breath as he cut those tenon cheeks freehand on the table saw Re: New Yankee Workshop Videos - PSA - bennybmn - 08-24-2015 spirit_of_ny said: I was thinking the SAME thing. |
