riohog 5,684 Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 ive seen the program a couple of times , hes a clever chap Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bootsha 1,306 Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 I call it "Rough as guts carpentry", because thats what it is basically, but he's clever at it, give him credit. Did anyone else ever see the one where he made a full size glasshouse out of a pile of old glass doors ??? out in france??, may not be the prettyest thing ever made, but it was extremely fit for purpose in all fairness. New yankee workshop with Norm, now THATS what you call a genuine, 100% bonafide f****n tradesman with a capitol "F" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
