Did he say “parring block”?

-- Tadd, Denver, http://patentcraftsman.com/

Paring block? for guiding chisels while paring/trimming. I think it’s a Boston accent, not southern. I can’t understand anything with background noise, so I’d imagine accents are are harder to understand.

-- Karen - a little bit of stupid goes a long way

If Tommy Macdonald is “southern” I must be hearing things! I believe he’s from Baaaaaaaaston. You know, over by Haaaaavard…

His speech presentation is very choppy.
He needs to work on his modulation and slow it down a notch.
He’s stiil you and going to be an asset to weekend woodworkers.

Is it just me or are younger people talking too fast?

-- A mind, like a home, is furnished by its owner

First – let me say that I really like Tom’s show. He is absolutely the best at blending together the right balance of power tool and hand tool.

However, he does talk fast and a little bit choppy. He always comes across as being a little over excited. I always record him on my TiVo so that I can review each show and repeat portions as many times as necessary to make certain I get everything correct.

Since his showes are taped there isn’t anything that can be done about the fast speech until new showes are taped. I’m sure as time goes on the presentation will improve(everyone has mentioned it) and his show will become an asset to woodworkers. I’ll admit the first couple of showes I watched I didn’t think much of, but he is growing on me and I’m starting to look forward to his next show every week.
