I love watching NYWS and TOH, but it seems like any references to him on
here are people making fun of him. Is Norm not as good as we are lead to
believe?
Yes and no.
He generally does quite a good job on the projects but as some folks
have noted his finishes leave a bit to be desired. I will note that he
bills himself as a "master carpenter", not a "master cabinetmaker" and I
have no argument with that title.
There are certainly people out there that can run rings around him in
the furniture / cabinetry world, however they don't have TV shows
probably due in large part to their projects taking months to complete
rather than the perhaps one week of Norm's typical projects.
Additionally Norm's projects and his techniques are generally within
reach of the capabilities of a committed weekend woodworker.
Just my $0.10
