Here is the evidence. What? Mr Norm’s on the cover of the FWW magazine. It just kills the whole idea of fine woodworking doesn’t it?

However, I must say he is pretty good with his pocket hole jig.

…lets add a couple of brads here…

Did you see that pocket hole jig machine he uses with a dedicated router and drill built in and takes up as much floor space as a small thicknesser

Go have a Bex and a lie down, Wongo.

You might hurt yourself.

I received the mag and saw this plywood box with lots of screws on the cover. I thought hang on, I don’t subscribe to better homes and gardens.

It's the equivalent of 'shabby chic' in Fine Woodworking - a sort of search back to find one's roots I suspect.

And he uses heaps of Bessey clamps and a good Porta Cable biscuit joiner.

What a waste of good gears. Well he’s got plenty of good gears thats for sure. So what you gonna do Wongo?

I refer the honourable gentleman to the remarks I made some moments ago.

And Norm doesn't use Festo (except the C-22) because they don't sponsor him. And Porter-Cable does. What do you expect??
