I created this article so that there would be a wiki-link for the Norm Abram article as there was for the This Old House article also cited in the Norm article.

I am regarded in woodworking circles as somewhat of a Norm authority, having taped all of the (New Yankee Workshop) shows, chronicled all the tools used, and posted them on a website.

The second link is my Norm site, but I did not create this article for the purposes of promoting the site. It is simply the most thorough compilation of episode information and tool use available. My site is non-commercial and I gain nothing by having it listed here. LRod 216.76.216.78 20:46, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I don't think it's bad if someone links to their site as long as the article is kosher.--Gbleem 02:51, 17 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I the use of the terms "neanderthals" and "galoots" common among all woodworkers or just those using a particular Internet mailing list? --Gbleem 02:51, 17 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I had the honor of meeting Norm at a show in Chicago a few years ago. According to him, the show is usually filmed in one 9 hour take (unless more time is necessary for drying or other reasons, of course). He usually works alone, and he makes the example piece the day before the shoot. He also claims that the show's biggest demographic is young children. --66.134.227.18 07:13, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image:New Yankee Workshop logo.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

I went ahead and put together the start of an episode list.

Since I don't have a Wikipedia account I can't create new pages. It may make sense to split this list out into a new page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.91.104.251 (talk) 01:37, 19 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I recall hearing stories about how Norm Abram used to use Japanese power tools, only to be ripped on about it considering it was called the New YANKEE Workshop. Anyone know anything about it? Can it be added into the criticism section? - 66.92.0.62 (talk) 23:43, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The whole "criticism" section is unsourced and dodgy at best. It needs to be sourced or removed. Proxy User (talk) 09:55, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
