Yes, "Norm Abram in Hand Cut Dovetail shock" was the headline in the September edition of the US mid west woodworking magazine, "Cut that Joint". The writer, Stanley B. Ware, reported:
"In the latest series of NYW, our bearded hero, Norm Abram makes a stylish walnut side table. Following 30 years of power tool use, Norm took the brave step of attempting to cut dovetail joints for the drawer.....
B Y H A N D !!"
It goes on to inform that.....
"...a member of the woodworking forum "Galoots R US" was available to support Norm through this process and ensure that he used the correct end of the chisel, and pushed and pulled the handsaw in order to complete the cuts..."
Following the programme ( which was aired on UK television Home and Leisure this morning coincidentally!), a medical representaive from Porter Cable confirmed that Norm has had counselling from one of their senior medics and is recovering well from the experience. He is expected to make a full recovery and will be making full use of power tools very soon. The rep finished with the statement:
"God bless America, Norm and the power router".
What next I wonder!?.
