While, Tommy is no Norm, he does some interesting projects, he's

who is he

and what does it mean to say that he is no norm

Norm is kind of a woodworkers superman. He was on This old house for quite a while but his show was called The New Yankee Workshop.

Norm is great, except that I die a little bit inside every time he reaches for the belt sander. I don't think I ever saw him use a hand plane.

I recall one episode when he was building a router table/storage unit. He included some
large drawers on the bottom. That's when I realized that he doesn't change router bits,
he changes routers. I was just starting to collect tools and was envious that he had a
drawer full of routers, while I only had 1. I thought 1 was enough, more was just showing
off.

Now I have 3 routers (full size for hand use, trim, and full size in the router table). Sometimes
I wish I had more. We grow. :-)
