Norm Abram: From Carpenter to “The New Yankee Workshop”
Oct 01, 2015

I've been a subscriber to FWW since my first encounter with the NYW - Norm is the reason I aspired to work wood and sought to learn more about the craft from the magazine. I admire the respect paid on the podcasts by the STL hosts for Norm, and the restraint they have demonstrated in not commenting on any parts of Norm's techniques that may not achieve the same level of "fine" as the editors and contributors to FWW magazine. Even Matt has never snarked and never has expressed a bad notion regarding Norm. I can't say the same for some of the "content producers" podcasting and blogging out there - in fact it is disrespect for Norm's contribution to the state of woodworking today that is the reason I stopped listening to Wood Talk.
