    Hi Andy! Norman the Norman, cutest Norman in Cornwall since William the Conqueror 😊👍🏻 Adorable little fellow, I love the cracks in the shield, somehow seems to give him a bit more credibility 😉 together with the axe makes him look sweet and fierce both at the same time 😂 I wonder if the Paramore clan originally comes from Normandy? Par amour maybe? Could be, no? Because Little Norman bears a certain resemblance to you, especially around the beard starting to turn slightly grey… Or maybe this is a coincidence due to the wet climate, who knows… Great little character, Andy, I love it! Well done 👏🏻 Have a great weekend, take care! Bye 👋🏻😉👋🏻 Jude

      So he looks like me ehh ... Cute and fierce at the same time ... Haha

      The spanner works so well... I can drill a 5mm hole in one piece and then use a 5mm spanner to make a dowel and I know that it will fit perfectly every time...
      The chuck is a Record Power Sc2... the 1st shot with the standard jaws and the second shot with dome jaws which are great for holding thin objects...
