Beveled Glass Cupboard | S15 E6
This jewel of a display cupboard will provide attractive storage for any bathroom. The top of the cabinet, with its beveled glass panels and adjustable shelves, is a perfect place to display attractive objects in a protected space. The display top sits on a closed cabinet for more useful storage accessed by means of a flat paneled door. Painted a glistening white and conveniently sized for limited space, this project is a winner.

Cigar Chair | S15 E4 & 5
zhlédnutí 14KPřed 22 hodinami
Norm happened to mention to a reporter that he had never made an upholstered piece of furniture. This led to an invitation to partner with Lee Industries of Newton, North Carolina, one of America's most highly regarded furniture makers. In the first of a special two-part program, Norm visits the Lee Industries factory to understand how upholstered chairs and sofas are made. He gets a tour with ...

Sheep Shearing Coffee Table | S15 E2 *

How about a coffee table that once served as a portable platform to shear the wool from sheep? We're not sure how well it worked at that task, but Norm reinvents it as a handsome platform for books, plants, puzzles, canapes, and all the other things that clutter today's coffee tables. This is definitely a conversation piece. Made of recycled pine, this unusual table is easy to make and comes wi...
Stepback Cupboard | S14 E13

When Norm finds this early cupboard in a Nantucket antique shop, he can't be sure of what he has found. There are questions about the paint, the overall height (it seems low), and the decoration may have been added at a later time. Nevertheless, it's a simple rustic classic, just perfect for The New Yankee Workshop collection. Norm makes his from recycled pine and predicts this piece will be po...
Deck Chair | S14 E12

It used to be when you cruised the ocean on a liner you would be offered a comfortable place to read and relax on a sun deck. A deckhand would show you to your wooden lounge chair, often made of teak, fitted with brass and combined with a footrest. Today you can enjoy the same comfort with Norm's version, made of plantation grown teak and specialized brass hardware designed to withstand the ele...

Nightstand | S14 E11
zhlédnutí 9KPřed 21 dnem
An antique cherry nightstand, circa 1840, found in a friend's house on Nantucket Island, is inspiration for Norm to build his version in The New Yankee Workshop. This square- topped, single drawer nightstand has 4 handsomely turned legs. Norm uses cherry for the body of the piece, and fashions the drawer front from tiger maple as a distinctive contrast. The simple elegance of this nightstand as...
Wooden Bowls | S14 E10

Friday Harbor, Washington, about as far north and west as you can get in the continental United States, is home to Walt Koertje, an artisan whose specialty is making glorious wooden bowls. Norm pays a visit to Walt, sees his industrial strength lathe, and is determined to return to The New Yankee Workshop and try one himself. Back home, Norm has to find a piece of wood suitable for his own bowl...

Pedestal Table | S14 E8
zhlédnutí 7KPřed měsícem
Norm visits an antique shop and spots a small round pedestal table that the dealer tells him may have originated in Indonesia. Maybe that's why it was built from teak, a popular wood in that region. Norm likes the choice of the wood, for it means that the table can be used either inside or out. The tricky part of making a pedestal table is connecting the legs to the pedestal. After the pedestal...
Thank You Russ

Thank you all for your comments, condolences and well wishes. Marian and the family really appreciate it. Every couple months I would drive up to the Morash household and we’d film a few short videos over a couple of days. Russ always looked forward to it as he loved connecting with fans. We spent more time setting things up than actually filming, ate fantastic food and laughed a lot. I also le...
Shaving Stand | S14 E6 *

While visiting Palm Beach, Florida, Norm discovers an attractive maple shaving stand in the Flagler Museum. Norm recreates this unique piece of Americana using cherry to form the mirror surround, the drawer, and to form the gracefully cut legs. At first glance, you might wonder why Norm (with his full beard) would ever need a piece of furniture like this, but he will be ready in case fashions c...

Project Update: Redwood Arbor
zhlédnutí 10KPřed měsícem
Russ shows us the Redwood Arbor that's had quite a history. Originally built with a bench and placed under some trees, it was then moved for Roger Swain's The Victory Garden show with help from Roger Cook from This Old House. Always a Yankee, Russ often blended his shows together sharing projects and talent. As you can see Norm's arbor is still holding up well despite all the updates. Original ...
I miss watching this on tv like Hometime, the 90s were great😢
Ya know Norm built a lot of stuff on this show.
I just inherited an old(ish) butler table. Unfortunately, the leaves are not secure or level. I tightened the screws on the beautiful brass hinges but the problem seems to be that flat hole underneath where the hinge is affixed to table is too wide. Maybe worn out? I’m no carpenter so I can’t make any serious repairs. Any thoughts? Thank you. I didn’t know whom to ask about this esoteric problem.
Bring back the New Yankee Workshop with Norm Abram.
I love this it reminds me of the days when i first started woodworking with mainly my grandfather's tools including a Craftsman "Electronic" Radial Arm and a "Wobble head" adjustable dado cutter 😊. This is the end of a certain era of home woodworking but I think it's good to start the craft with only the basics so you can master your skills as you build your shop!
Beautiful work as always from Norm,amusing to see the 'yankee' screwdriver - the precursor to the cordless drill - I still have mine.
Thank you.
👍
Norm was showing off that pocket hole machine, wasn't he?
Oh these pieces are lovely! I wish I had room in my home!
12:45 that little scrap of wood scared me for Norm 😬
If I had everyone of those pieces of equipment, tools, jigs, clamps and assorted accessories, I'd still not be able to build all of the things Norm has built.
Please bring Norm Abram out of retirement.
I sure do enjoy rewatching these gems. Norm is such a classy guy, and Russ was such a production wiz!
I wish they would post what tools he is using and where he got them from. I'd be interested.
There's a fan page online that has this information.
20 odd years from production, but even closer to 30+ for quite a few of those tools. I'd be surprised if these were still able to be had, without sacrificing a newer version that may perform better. my 0.02.

@brianburgett5894 don't forget the venerable Bosch Barrel Grip Jigsaw and Lamello Plate Joiner.
"If I can do it, you can do it!" YESS!!! This is why I love Norm!
Back in the day, I thought I remembered seeing all the episodes but I seem to forget this one. Very nice.
“Plenty of room for a good size TV.”Times sure have changed.
I spent the whole episode waiting for him to put a TV in that bathroom cabinet.
@@ChalkiePerfectlmao
And by shaving supplies, he means his pocket planes.....
Russ created some awesome television
Certainly did.
Looks like a medicine cabinet. Perfect for display.
First.
You're actually off by one second, sir!
By 1 second. Kinda like an Olympics win!!
@@Navy1977Aw, shit!
@@aramis295 You originally showed as getting the Gold, but now show Bronze.
Finally, 1 full episode of this cupboard on CZcams! Thanks, Norm! I'm glad you saved my day, again!
This is a perfect piece. Please tell me that you can do a follow-up on where those chairs have been in the last 20 years!
Bring Norm Abram out of retirement.
He's having too much fun 😄
Thank you great job
Gret job Thankyou
Many thanks for making all this content accessible.
When he built this workshop was it adjacent to the New Yankee workshop or somewhere in the Massachusetts area?
If you've seen Redwood Arbor project update video you'll see the garage in the background: czcams.com/video/h6xkYYel2kU/video.htmlsi=3JO5CbqW5YRQXFij&t=450
Love Russ' voice at the beginning of every episode. Still hard to believe he is gone. This clock is really nice. Thanks Norm!
Is the detailed cutting list still available for these?
We wouldn't feel right selling the plans with the kit no longer available, so we made it free to download from our website: www.newyankee.com/episode/cigar-chair/
I wish they would start releasing the older this old house episodes on CZcams also
Imagine one day you come into work and get to talk to the legend Norm Abrams.
Funny, I was looking at buying/building this style chair just a few days ago. Adam Savage has that club chair & I think this it a good cross over.
I would still like the plans. I can source the hardware.
@@TBJK07Jeep Plans are free on the website. Link is in the comments here.
@@mrpiccolo23 thanks for that. I couldn’t find it previously. The direct link gave a 404 error.
Now that you've posted this video you really must make the plans available, even if the hardware is not. We can always aquire springs and clips and foam elsewhere. But why temp us with this great project and not also make the plans available? Sell the plans again please.

You know when they did radio woodworking in the 1930s they didn't need to build anything at all, just the sound effects to go with the instruction.
@@mrpiccolo23 ok? But were watching a video of a legend of making stuff making something. If theres no staples, they shouldve re shot that 2 second clip

Does anyone else hear the director or someone saying go for the shots? I completely understand and respect. So cool to see again and hear the difference 😆👍
New subscriber, i remember not even knowing how to use any kinda of tools or anything. Thank you for your Sunday morning, and I'm sorry it took so long to find this channel. Thank you, Norm. It seems like i found an old friend. God bless you, sir.
That cabinet is a beauty. Thanks for sharing your craftmanship, Norm!
1:30 is that statue still there ?
An elegantly functional.piece!
I have made cedar Adirondak chairs from kits, but exchanged the galvanized screws supplied with the kits for stainless steel screws to prevent corrosion and staining the wood with rust.
Norm Abram shows you how to make Western style furniture on the New Yankee Workshop.
That is a charming coffee table made of repurposed chestnut.
👍
Awesome!
It was the first instructional show I could when we got cable. Thank you for working around and subverting stupid corporate greed.
