OK, the subject may have been over the top a bit, but now that I have your attention... The most recent issue of Popular Woodworking has a couple of good articles on Abram, one of which debunks myths about him. They even coined a term for his followers: Normites. Gawrsh. sigh, jo4hn
There are myths about him?
Occathionally, yeth.
Most of the Normite groupies are mythers, however.
Thorry about that.
An the magazine DEFINITELY DID NOT coin the phrase/term NORMITE, been used here on the newgroups for years

I did find out that he and I attended UMass Amherst at the same time for at least one semester, maybe two. I think I bumped into him once.
I'm fond of the one where Norm built a mahogany armoire with nothing more than six pounds of balsawood and a rusty douzouki.
That's IMPOSSIBLE...
everyone knows that Norm also used a 1/2 lb of brads to hold it all together until the glue dried.
