Ice Pick


 

I think I'm getting into the silly season of Norm's Tools. This ordinary kitchen utility tool (dating back to the “ice age” before modern refrigeration) wouldn't normally be seen in a workshop—although it could certainly substitute quite well for an awl. But, there was a particular task in upholstering the Lolling Chair (Episode 2012) for which it was a perfect application. Frankly, I don't know why they (the upholsterers) didn't use an awl in the first place.

Appearances: Episode 2012
