The great thing about Norm was that he was an excellent teacher. His "lesson plan" for each show was well thought out and sequenced for learning. Learned a lot from him, and inspired to do things I probably would otherwise have thought beyond my skills. Thanks Norm! Some day I too hope to build a piece of furniture in 30 minutes!!

I am fortunate to have a very good tool repair shop locally, so will go and ask their advice unless it is a simple fix, like a power cord or brushes. Since they also sell tools I had worried about their advice, but they have been very good and usally have beena able to fix with reasonable expense. Also, I have a ton of jigs so am reluctant to change key tools like rounter because then the jigs are scrap. My rule of thumb is if it is a good tool, I'll see about fixing it, if it is a cheap knockoff, I'll replace it.

Interesting and beautiful lines, done with an eye to simplicity of form that does not result in lessened function. A truly outstanding piece, both in design and execution. Bravo!
