I thought I would make this my first post. I have been doing cabinet work for 45 years. Mostly alone so I'm not inclined to do much talking and mostly lurk here. Anyway I ran across this article on "Norm" and thought it might be of interest since it reveals (at least to me) a few things I did not know.
I hope this is legal

Norm is actually an engineer in carpenter’s clothing. He studied mechanical engineering in 1967 at the University of Massachusetts when the future was not bright for engineers. And he aspired to be an aeronautical engineer when NASA headlined the news with moon shots. True to form, Norm found the classroom wasn’t for him. After all, his genius is working with his hands.
