"Be sure to read, understand, and follow all the instructions that come with your power tools. Knowing how to use your power tools safely greatly reduces the risk of personal injury." -Norm
I’ve been watching New Yankee Workshop since it came on the air. Norm is entirely to blame for my addiction to power tools. Sadly, no matter how many tools I buy, I can’t seem to finish a piece of furniture in 26 minutes.
On the blog over at Wood Magazine they’re running a little contest on Halloween – "Dress Like Norm Day". Whoever has the best shot will win a little prize. Since I happened to be donning my flannel plaid, and since I happened to be a bachelor for the evening, I did a series of shots.
This is a parody shot I call ‘Tim the Tool Man Meets Norm Abram.’
strobist: three light setup….
