Interview with Norm Abram
You see him every weekend building furniture in your living room. Maybe you've marveled at his amazing assortment of woodworking tools. Maybe you've wondered whether he really builds all those projects himself? The New Yankee Workshop's Norm Abrams sat down and talked shop with WOOD Magazine Tools Editor Bob Hunter at IWF. Watch the complete interview then check out our video coverage of the hottest tools from the show floor.
 
Dear #Content:WOODFirstNameGreeting#,

The kids are back in school (3 in college and only one at home) and staying connected gets harder and harder. But I found a great method for keeping the flock in touch. Someone always needs something built for their room, apartment, or dorm. While I'm happy to build whatever is needed, I do have one rule: If I'm busy in the shop building you a project, you're helping. Shown at right is our oldest daughter, Sasha, her fiance and myself. Together we're working on a pair of Arts and Crafts nightstands. They get two great pieces of furniture, and I don't have to do any sanding. Read more about this endeavor in my latest blog post.
