Summary: Good advice from norm
Comment: Norm talks about different tools and thier uses. If you like T H O as i do then you will really like this book. It is like sitting down and talking one on one with Norm.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A great little book
Comment: This is a wonderful collection of insights, anecdotes and wisdom as Norm takes the reader through a Carpenters Toolbox.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Folksy woodworking!
Comment: I really enjoyed this book. Norm always comes off on TV as a really congenial and down to earth kind of guy. This terrific little book is that "in spades".
I especially appreciated the way he tells the reader how he puts each tool to use, not just a technical review of the tool. His periodic reference to how he worked with and learned from his father adds even more value to the book.
Most woodworking books never mention the basics that Norm covers for using carpentry tools. A really great addition to my woodworking library.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A blend of technique and journal...
Comment: This book is a blend of personal insights and techniques that shows not just what it takes to be a master carpenter, but the path this particular one took to get there. The book reads like a cross between tips and tricks of the trade and a diary.
Customer Rating:
Summary: IF YOU LIKE NORM....
Comment: I originally bought this book just because Norm Abrams wrote it and I am a big fan of THIS OLD HOUSE and THE NEW YANKEE WORKSHOP.But, it is an engaging read and one I find myself going..."ahhhhhhhhhh" or "ahhhhhhhh, hahhhhhhhhhh!" to. Add it to your "toolbox." It will help you be better at whatever you do.
Makes a great gift too to recognize members of your workgroup, fellow fans of Norm, and those you would like to gently influence.
