Norm

It's a common sense tradeoff between wasting production crew time and wasting Norm / construction crew time building ten copies of the item to different stages so they can all be shot at once.

Where do you get one of those? And I don't want to hear I have to _pay_ someone. That's cheating. I'd like an unpaid apprentice interested in learning shop cleanup who has absolutely no ambitions yet has a killer work ethic. If any one knows of such a person please contact me at:

I find them every year. Local highschool wood shop. Once they're out of school, I finance their projects. I buy the materials, supply the tools and shop. They design and complete their project and sell it. The costs come off the top and then we split the profit 60/40. They get the 60. After a year or so, they move on and most of them make it from there on their own.

Norm has a show, I don't...

Who am I to judge?

Many of us have shapers and router tables. Custom profiles aren't that out of this world, but you could always substitute stock profiles.

Which works exactly like the $50 pocket hole jigs, only faster.

I agree, and you'd be shocked how many people buy the big ticket tools.

All of us New Englanders want to know what you mean.

Next, you'll say Cliff Claven talked funny... Jeez!

From what I have heard by a user, the "faster" part may be debatable.

Simple. Go To Texas and listen to how we speak. We of course speak English as it was intended. All Y'all up there add sounds to your words. :~)

... or take sounds away. It's draw-ERS folks, not draws, and when I read it car has an "r" in it, not a "w" :-)

Actually, as you move down to Southern New England (East Westchester County to Charlie), we sound less like Norm, and more like Tony Soprano and Gene Simmons.

So yes, Norm does talk funny, but not as funny as Texans.

Whew, the first time I read that I though you said that you sound more like Tony soprano and "Richard" Simmons. ;~)

Well, actually, Richard Simmons _is_ from "Lon Gisland"...

Its funny, send for measured "drawerings" of a chest of "draws". And that garden expert on TOH and Ask TOH.... I often have to pause, back up, mute to see the caption, and play my DVR forward again to understand what he is saying. Let's take a Wok to the Pock to see if the Goden needs Waddur.

And speaking of drawers, I and I am not the greatest speller, I have seen drawers spelled draws repeatedly.

In a recent episode, he (Roger Cook, by the way) was helping a gal with a sprinkler and had her digging a hole. The first shovelful she tossed on the grass and he said, "whoa, don't put it on the grass!"

She said, "that's where you told me to put it; on the top."

He said, "no, I said put it over here on the top." (pointing to the blue tarp nearby)

I've seen that episode two or three times and replayed it a couple more and I'd swear he said "top" too.

On another episode he had done some job in Cambridge and in the discussion after the segment the three others (Kevin O'Connor, Rich Trethewey, and Tom Silva) tricked him into saying something to the effect that he had to, "pahk the cah in Hahvahd yahd." He caught himself just afterward as the others were rolling on the floor.

Years ago I was working with a couple of guys from Ware County, GA (Waycross area), and when the two of them got together and started talking it was almost impossible to understand them.

One day I asked them what you called the thing you shot with a bow. "An err." Okay, what's that stuff you breathe? "Air." Alright, what's a mistake? "A Err."

They pronounced all three indistinguishably.

That was a funny bit of ATOH footage. (I think, btw, that the spelling for what he was talking about - as opposed to what she thought he was saying - would be "tawp".)

Norm is how I got into woodworking. I havent seen him in a couple of years but enjoyed him when I did watch him. I watch David Marks now because of the hand tools use. He does some turning which I've gotton into. The guy turning on DIY I watch some as well. None of these people have projects that I ve built with norms router table ( not fence or top) the exception. What I'am looking for is techniques. I've been using blue tape at joints for easier glue clean up of joints. I use scrapers more now.Thanks DM. Lets find the positives that these crafters offer. Yes David has a $5000 + Oneway lathe but his technique works on my $100 Rockwell/Delta.

At least he hasn't bled all over a project like Roy Underhill does on a regular basis. :)

How can you tell?

The stain job he does would probably cover up the blood quite nicely.
