tctrout 0 Report post Posted May 16, 2016 In my newest video, I completed a review of the Norvise System, focusing mainly on the standard vise and fine jaws. I know many on this forum tie on a variety of vises, thus would love to hear your thoughts on this one. For those that do tie on a Norvise, let me know if I've hit the major points, and please feel free to add to the discussion. Thanks! TC Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DrVette 0 Report post Posted September 17, 2016 I actually had an Auto bobbin for years till i figured out it was from Norman. I think i have 5 now, and a couple i scrapped for parts. I have read many things against the Nor-vise over the years...All i can figure is that the ones talking trash must be envious of any-one who has one???

mikechell 0 Report post Posted September 18, 2016 Many public speakers use their hands too much when talking. Most of those who realize this, tend to use props to make their hands less ... mobile. It's not the cup, it's the shear quantity of talking that usually makes me turn it off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bimini15 0 Report post Posted September 18, 2016 I am Spanish, so, in my mind, if you are not moving your hands while you are talking, you must have some motor skills problem... It is only because of the mug that I go back to the hands and realize that I should be seeing liquid spilling and splashing all over. If I did not finish the video it was because it was too long to watch, on a topic that right now does not interest me too much. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrVette 0 Report post Posted September 18, 2016 You can use large head thumb-tacks to set your extra bobbins on...All it takes is something to wrap around to hold them. My thumb-tacks are on the side of my desk box. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rstaight 0 Report post Posted September 18, 2016 The mug dosn't bother me. It's a prop he wishes to use. When I would speak in front of a small group there was usually a table around. I would set on or at least lean on the table. Something I wished to do. I found it helped me to better connect with my audiance. Senator Bob Dole was injured in WWII and his right arm and hand was paralyzed. He always had a pen in that hand. When he was asked about in an interview his response was, to paraphrase, I felt my hand should be doing something. So Tim, keep the coffee mug, if people want something in it, spill out some confetti every now and then. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's never filled to the top for obvious reasons (though in part I can blame my Italian heritage for my "talkative" hands!). Tim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bimini15 0 Report post Posted September 18, 2016 Now I am curious, Tim. If you don't mind another question about the mug... Do you really use it, as mentioned, to keep excessive hand motion down? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
