I like Norm… He still presents a very good show… His way. I like the way he’s also covering Finishing techniques on his newer shows. I will not get tired of watching him… reruns & all. He has helped me a lot… -- Have Fun! Joe Lyddon - Alta Loma, CA USA - Home: http://www.WoodworkStuff.net ... My Small Gallery: http://www.ncwoodworker.net/pp/showgallery.php?ppuser=1389&cat=500" |
