It's Norm Abrams, television's carpenter on the "This Old House" series, and woodworker in "The New Yankee Workshop". Much more revered here than Tim Taylor of Tool Time.

You didn't ask, so apparently you already know who Roy and Bob are. And Red.

and do some studying.
sounds like a troll question
He is a famous model for "Long Sleeve Plaid Flannel Shirts".
That's exactly what I ask my wife (about another person), she keeps telling Martha this Martha that, so I ask her Martha who?
I know, I know, I know...*jumping up and down* pick MEEE, I know!!
A fellow fisherman.
And, as of today at least, Norm isn't in jail.
Anyone?....Anyone other than Robatoy?....OK, OK, Robatoy, can you tell us who Norm is?

In case you haven't noticed, I'm new to this group and newsgroups in general. What is the point of a troll? Are they trying to build a thread to collect email addresses or just someone with nothing better to do?
Others have pointed out Norm Abrams TV shows, web site, etc. However, to read between the line of your question - in this group Norm is alluded to (by calling someone a "Normite") as the promoter of any and all power tools as the best way to work wood. A person of an opposite persuasion - i.e. one who prefers hand tools - can be referred to as a "Neander". There is, of course, also a middle ground...
