I was actually reading a couple of Roy's books this weekend. A relevant quote:
"I like to work fast"
He also explained that he turned from craftsmanship to showmanship when he worked at crafts fairs. Simply selling spoons wasn't enough so he turned spoons with one hand, chopped a bowl with the other and played the harmonica.
Certainly he tries to entertain and inform at the same time. Norm doesn't seem to have the same sort of motivation.
