Editors Notebook
Numbers fo r Norm-We
had no illu
sions when we decided to do the article on
Norm Abram in Fine Woodworking #99.
We knew it would be controversial. For all
the debate about crat vs. art that has gone
on in these pages, we expected some
equally vehement responses to the Abram
piece. We were not disappointed. Printed
in
dicated we had committed something akin
to woodworking blasphemy by putting
Norm on the cover. (For all the wood
working unknowns who have graced our
cover over the years, it was a little hard to
take the arguments that only people like
Tage Frid, James Krenov and Sam Maloof
should be allowed to have their visage on
the front of
Fine Woodworking.)
Amid all the strong words expressed,
something got lost on both sides of the
issue: the fact that Norm is news in the
woodworking world. As an important
journal of woodworking, we would be lax
in our reporting duties if we did not ad
dress the phenomenon of he New Yankee
Workshop and its 4.5 million viewers. We
tried to cover the issues and controversies
that surround the program in an even
handed, unbiased way; it's up to our read
ers to come to their own conclusions.
do with their
foibles and foul-ups. That's not the kind of
thing
serious
woodworkers want to be
publicly associated with. Especially if it's
going to wind up in print.
I started thinking about all this when a
colleague at another magazine referred
me to a book in which Fine Woodworking
magazine was mentioned. A collection of
humorous essays and columns by Patrick
.
o
#100 and this issue are a few of the
more than three dozen letters we've re
ceived to date. There were also some
phone calls, and all of our editors fielded
reactions and responses from woodwork
ers they came in contact with.
Letter counts are far from scientific as a
measure of opinion, but they're interesting
nonetheless. So how did Norm score with
letter writers? Cracks about power-tool lust
and nail belts aside, orm's fans far out
number his detractors. Of the letters re
ceived so far, 27, or 71%, supported Norm
and The New Yankee Workshop. Nine let
ters, or 24%, were opposed, and two letters,
or 5%, didn't take a clear stand.
For Fine Woodworking to receive that
many missives on one subject or article is
almost unheard of. And the sentiments ex
pressed in those letters were intense. One
woodworker threatened to cancel his sub
scription because he thought we were too
hard on Norm. At the same time, others in-
WW
McManus, the book is Real Ponies Don't
Go Oink. In one essay called "Puttering,"
McManus takes on his wife over her de
scription of his activities in woodworking
as puttering. His wife argues that wood
working is "merely an excuse to buy
tools," while McManus recounts his misad
ventures in trying to level the legs of the
"exquisitely crafted" coffee tables he has
been attempting to build.
All woodworkers make mistakes from
time to time. For a lot of us that's the only
way we learn. I know if I couldn't laugh at
some of my blunders, I'd be wearing out
handkerchiefs with a flood of tears. The
trick for me is to do serious work without
being too serious to enjoy the process.
-William Sampson, executive editor
Puttering into other pages-
Whether
we are all wrapped up in a major project
in the workshop or submerged in the
daily duties of the workaday world, a little
dose of humor often brings us back to re
ality. But serious woodworking and hu
mor are oten like a blind date: full of lots
of excitement and potential as an idea, but
rarely as satisfying in the real event.
