I remember watching Bob V. making kitchen cabinet boxes with a table
saw (yup, Sears) on one of the earlier shows. Bob actually got his

Running them through a sawblade?
(Norm pulls a funny on Bob and told him it was a "Hot Dog" saw. Yuk
yuk.)

Norm was a craftsman. Vila was just an emcee.

Responding from the other side of The Pond, I used to watch TOH with
Norm on it. Whilst it was quite interesting and useful, my main
facination with it was as a mild comedy. We all have these workshops,
right?

emcee - no idea? Please help!
