He is a famous model for "Long Sleeve Plaid Flannel Shirts".

companies to remind us how much grunting, sweating and swearing is saved by

You didn't ask, so apparently you already know who Roy and Bob are.
And Red.

That's exactly what I ask my wife (about another person), she keeps telling
Martha this Martha that, so I ask her Martha who?
You don't know who Norm is? The holiest of holies? The deacon of dust?
Well, you just skedaddle on over to www.newyankee.com and do some studying.

For example, this Saturday, Roy, the Neander of the Neanderers, used some
sort of machine called a Treadle saw, I think; foot powered, but definitely
a mechanical machine!

In case you haven't noticed, I'm new to this group and newsgroups in
general. What is the point of a troll? Are they trying to build a thread
to collect email addresses or just someone with nothing better to do?

Ah.
I included the preemptive "one L" since so many people (not you)
insist on using two.

It's Norm Abrams, television's carpenter on the "This Old House" series, and
woodworker in "The New Yankee Workshop". Much more revered here than Tim
Taylor of Tool Time.

Others have pointed out Norm Abrams TV shows, web site, etc. However, to read
between the line of your question - in this group Norm is alluded to (by calling
someone a "Normite") as the promoter of any and all power tools as the best way
to work wood. A person of an opposite persuasion - i.e. one who prefers hand
tools - can be referred to as a "Neander". There is, of course, also a middle
ground...
