Norm as Elvis?

He has made a “name” for himself, hasn’t he.

-- Gary, East TX -- The longest journey begins with a single step.

He promotes a style of woodworking, ya can’t really knock him. But I do not think he is cool enough to rival the King. I just can’t see him raising a lip and addressing anyone ...pretty mamma! : — )

-- My Fear is when i die, my wife will sell my tools for what I TOLD her they cost

David Marks is my rock star. You do have to use both names, however.

-- Maplewood, MN

Don is the Elvis of Box Makers around here. Norm who?

-- Bill - "Suit yourself and let the rest be pleased." http://www.cajunpen.com/

Maybee within the woodworking community but never the whole world like elvis.

-- Hope Never fails

I get the “Oh, are you trying to look like Al [Boreland]?” when I grow my beard out. Pretty annoying. If I mention Norm or Bob Vila, I usually get a “The old house guy?”

-- Happy Ripping!!!

Now the question is: is he the cool young Elvis,or the Vegas Elvis?

Y’all seem to be a bit confused.
I was just commenting on Norm’s single name status in the world of woodworking, not his popularity vs. The King.

-- Rick Snail, Omaha, NE --The only stupid question is one that isn't asked.

Norm has carved out (no pun intended) a very nice business for himself – having met the man in person in business a few times, he is as nice, and soft spoken in person as he is on TV——he is truly a gentlemen.
Good things happen to good people.

-- Bill - - Ad-Marketing Guy, Ramsey NJ

I like Norm… He still presents a very good show… His way.

I like the way he’s also covering Finishing techniques on his newer shows.

I will not get tired of watching him… reruns & all.

He has helped me a lot…

I ran into him at Mystic Seaport a couple of years back. He’s a real personable guy, approachabe, friendly and willing to talk about things they are working on for the show.

Name recognition … yes
“Ladies and Gentlemen… Norm has left the building” nope
