only the knowledge of how to do something, but also the confidence to do iL I have been doing serious woodworking for a little over five years. My projects have ranged from basic bookcase designs to a solid oak heirloom bed and. throughout, all of my projects have been built from Norm's example. Norm has dedicated himself to teaching techniques to the beginning and student woodworkers. You could not have made a better choice as far as naming Norm as one of the most influential woodworkers of the 20th century.

I agree that Norm is one of the best when it comes to explaining a project and how to do it, but as I watch him. show after show. 1 wonder how good is Norm, really? When you watch Norm week after week, you see a completely different set of tools in his shop. Every job that he does, he has just the right tools for the job. He never has to improvise or make do with one set of tools. It sure must be nice to have different tool manufacturers furnish just the right tool to do a specific operation on a certain job. Also, every project he does, he has one already built. Every woodworker knows

that the second one of the same project is always easier to build than the first. What I would like to know-is: did Norm really build the first one, or did his cohorts build it and make all the jigs and show Norm the different steps?
