I set up my 1st woodshop according to Norm's shop…

Good for Norm, enjoy your retirement….

There are some here that seem to follow people around ( trolls?) and all they will post EVERYTIME someone mentions a name they are trolling…boy-howdy…listen to all the HATE they post…..

Almost as bad as some that show up whenever someone happens to even whisper the 2 words…Harbor Freight…

Norm, enjoy your retirement!

I am taking a class on window joinery next weekend and Roy Underhill is the instructor. It seemed like to good of an opportunity to pass up.

Very lucky! YouTube has Roy videos on window joinery you can seek out, to get a leg up.

It all started for Norm on Christmas Eve in 1958 as he went with his father, a Boston carpenter on a job installing hardwood floors. They installed the floors the old-fashioned way - with cut nails and a skill saw turned upside down on a milk crate.

I read this and immediately thought about how anyone today suggesting such a setup, would be chastised to no end around here for such a careless disregard for safety!

Cheers,
Brad

It shouldnt. You have a lot to learn in this business.

 

[StarBright]

Does anyone else think Norm looked ill in last week's photo? I hope he's okay…

Not really, he's 74, getting older. He had heart surgery a few years back and as most that come up through the trades, his body has taken a beating.

A different world in those days. When I was a young journeyman the industry standard was to wire gas pumps hot. They would not loose any sales for safety ;((

I do miss watching Norm. I hope he enjoys his retirement.

I didn't hear about his heart surgery. That would explain the weight loss.
