What tools would Norm Abram and Scott Phillips grab on the way out the door if their shops caught fire?
Two summers ago, Shanesy visited Norms New Yankee Workshop. Shanesy spent three full days with Norm building Adirondack chair frames, while Kara Gebhart-Uhl, former Managing Editor, peeked into the corners to find out more about how Norm creates the projects that are featured on his show. Scott, a neighbor and old friend, will host The American Woodshop’s 13th season starting on August 11.
Both Norm and Scott were at the Delta/Porter Cable booth at the show, and graciously agreed to spend some time with us. Find out which tools Scott and Norm would choose to get first if they had a second chance. Norm has influenced thousands upon thousands of woodworkers. Who do they look up to? Scott’s life before woodworking. What was his most memorable moment at the show?
