There's an old carpentry saying: "Any FOOL can build things with STRAIGHT lumber, it takes a CARPENTER to do so with CROOKED lumber."woodburner wrote:I guess some of us like the way Nick teaches, and others of us don't. It all depends on your learning curve I guess.
I for one have found Nick to be a bit too hard to follow with his constant stopping and starting and "oh yeahs." To some that may seem indearing to them, for me I just find it annoying to try and watch on my computer.
He seems to be a nice enough fellow on the Sawdust Sessions, but I myself just can't learn from him. I won't be purchasing his DVD's.
IF I may paraphrase; Any FOOL can learn from a great teacher, it takes insight to learn from others.
A Polished teacher he is not. An effective one to the intended 'class', YES! If you desire 'dry', no-nonsense instruction, GO READ A BOOK!
