    Norm's shop in Lego

    Just saw this and was pretty amazed:

    I particularly like the plaid shirt, and assume that the glasses are safety glasses.

    That is pretty wild! I am a huge LEGO fan from age 5. The chop saw was pretty cool. I also like the stop/go buttons on the wide belt sander. Pretty
    funny. Hopefully this guy also does WWing and isn't just a complete LEGO nut.

      Bet you Norm ends up with that one or a duplicate. This past summer I helped my 7 year old grandson make some of Leggo Starwas sets, truly amazing what they can do. In my day it was Tinkertoys, Lincoln Logs and Erector Sets and I though they were great.

          Wow, two of my biggest obsessions married in pewrfect harmony. I thought Star Wars Lego was cool, but it has nothing on this.

            Doesn't it seem kind of wrong to build Norm and his shop out of plastic?

            I think someone should create wooden replicas of legos - THEN build norm and his shop out of them!

              Now that is cool. I will say it again though - I don't have the patience to do something like that.

                That was great, LOML even enjoyed it.

                  The accuracy is amazing, right down to no guard on the table saw.

                    That is cool!

                    Some one used some quality time to build that scene. Lot of times I say some one had too much time on their hands, but not this time. Pretty darn accurate too.

                      Mega Kerf?

                      Dunno about the kerf on the table saw and chopsaw blades, though. Looks they'd turn a scale 2x4 into 2 scale toothpicks.
                      Don't just say no to kickback.

                        Not quite enough plaid in the shirt, but the face is a dead ringer.

                          The word on this is getting around ... Chris Schwarz even wrote it up on the Popular Woodworking blog.

                          I'll bet series sponsor Delta really appreciates the stationary tools being Powermatic Gold.

                          The wide-belt sander is quite realistic; I think it's my favorite. A LEGO version of this tool is one I might be able to actually afford.
