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.

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

For example, this Saturday, Roy, the Neander of the Neanderers, used some
sort of machine called a Treadle saw, I think; foot powered, but definitely
a mechanical machine!

It's a silver Yin/Yang pierced-navel jewelry piece. It ought

Thankfully, Charlie, they are a mite young for those. (Four years old
last month and six years old next week.) I can just imagine my middle son
and his wife if either of them every got an eyebrow ring when they are a
bit older. They would totally freak. LOL
