Fantastic post, i agree with lurker. Not my style, but it was his shows on TLC (i think Sky used to call it that in late 90's) that made me interested and then understand how it can all go together. I still construct drawers the same way as he does, even though i now know loads of other ways. My workshop is now just as kitted out as his, the machines aren't the full industrial version but i have everything i need. I have every video of the NYW and i watch them back sometimes. He is a big influence on me, my kids still make jokes that i should be in a plaid shirt when i'm in the workshop.
I especially love the bit on the London version of This Old House, i'm in the Biz and i recall watching it and thinking that was a load of BS, especially the planning bit where they were surprised that couldnt raise the roof in the middle of London, ya right that was a F'in surprise!!!!. He speaks about it in the video and its one view of British construction industry which is so warped. I suppose it fits with the limey version of events. But worth a watch if your a Norm fan. I've never seen it before and i was glued. (forgive the pun)
