Who is Norm?

[bkr]

So I've seen the name Norm mentioned on several threads and I just have to ask, who is this person?

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.

JOAT Charity ain't giving people what you wants to give, it's giving people what they need to get.

You don't know who Norm is? The holiest of holies? The deacon of dust? Well, you just skedaddle on over to

and do some studying.

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?

[JeffB]

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...
