Library Ladder | S10 E4

[@DergEnterprises]

What a boss with displaying those routers.

[@marcg.3830]

New Yankee Workshop, This Old House and Motorweek, some of the greatest shows ever.

[@markorr7564]

Norm is the very definition of the word "craftsman"

[@Wythaneye]

4:49 Just look at that grain. What a beautiful piece of pine.

[@terryprideaux]

A Friend aka your boss. We recognize the green house

[@roger55es]

To give credit to a beautiful designed wooden library ladder nothing better to cherish and will always be a collection of yet another crafted example of perfected workmanship

[@foxholewilly]

What a delightful episode! For some reason, every time Norm spreads Gorilla glue, I can't help but think of pancakes and maple syrup.

[@Niagra2011]

I thoroughly enjoy Norm working in the shop today as I did watching NYW 35 years ago. What a Craftsman!

[@johncornell3665]

Sweet ladder, great project. Thanks Norm and Russ!

[@r.b.ratieta6111]

The Bob Ross of Carpentry.

[@SpacedGal]

I had been thinking the same thing. Norm Abrams is Bob Ross with power tools. I’ve been watching these to relax. There’s something calming about Norm’s demeanour. 😊 That said, there is one difference - no “happy little accidents”. I don’t think any accident with power tools could be happy. 😂

[@r.b.ratieta6111]

@@SpacedGal Haha, "There are no happy accidents, only hospital visits."

[@wdwtx2.0]

Absolutely gorgeous wood.

[@waynebooker498]

That quarter sawn pine was sure nice. Norm is still the man. Love this show.

[@ronboe6325]

Saw this show when it first aired and the only thing that really stuck: When Norm trolled us with his router collection. :^) Looking back, you'd think the morticing tool would have impressed me more.

[@danielwinkelmann800]

Very nice project and another great video!

[@darkdreamsinc.]

Some beautiful looking pine

[@aramis295]

@ 2:09 I've never built anything out of heart pine, before! That ladder is a great example of 1 good project, yet therefore is "sleeker than ever before!" Besides, the smell of that resin is beautiful, when filled in the workshop!

[@paulorth2251]

Lovely ladder, almost to pretty to use for real work. 😊

[@DavidHuber63]

Awesome, Norm. Our Pakistan area brothers make the water cans by hand.

[@chipperkeithmgb]

I made one no heart pine in England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 so I painted mine

[@acerjuglans383]

I have 6 routers too. Guess I gotta build a router stand now.

[@johnnycats5157]

All this time I thought he was saying "Joiner". I just realized it's called the "JoinTer".

[@goofyrulez7914]

When Norm uses "biscuits", does he also use gravy as a glue? 🙂 Seriously though, he is a Master Master Craftsman! Amazing skill!

[@seanadams3551]

Wait till you see the Old Pine Bar. That's next time.

[@areareare9953]

And the Old Pine Watering Can.

[@johnsrabe]

And the Old Pine TV Camera.

[@seanadams3551]

@@johnsrabe nO such thing. My favorite from season 10 is the New Yankee Whirligig.

[@johnsrabe]

@@seanadams3551 there are a number of episodes that only got aired once. Like the Old Pine Iron Maiden, the Old Pine Kiln, and the Old Pine Wooden Leg.

[@RemoteControlProds]

You got to be pretty tight with your "boss" for him to let you film at his pad. Dear Norm and good ole' Russ. Is anyone else around here tinkering with the idea of silently shipping them?

[@bryangulledge]

Is Russ the "gardening friend" that Norm talks about at the beginning? If so, I bet that old ladder is still around and in great shape.

[@kenwjones]

Yes, that was the inside of Russ' house.

[@johnsrabe]

Except Russ uses the ladder to display his collection of shrunken heads of commercial tv network executives.

[@q.d.mcgraw]

Could also be used as a plant stand or even easily modified with wider steps/shelves.

[@newyankeeworkshop]

It could also be used as a ladder :)

[@q.d.mcgraw]

@@newyankeeworkshop I guess, maybe...I just don't see it. 🤣

[@daveheckman9388]

You don’t see the ladder being used as a ladder?? 😂

[@q.d.mcgraw]

@@daveheckman9388 It’s a joke

[@thebreakingwinddialoguessh7801]

[@evanbush1426]

0:28 That actually inside Russ’ house.

[@BillMulholland1]

Of course not. It’s a friends house. That’s where he got a lot of his inspiration, friends ✌️

[@BillMulholland1]

❤️👍

[@fixitquick69]

4:07 looks like Norm almost lost a thumb.

[@HonkyTonkHellraiser]

[@outdooraf]

I said it here first: There is no more important safety rule than to work sober

[@arcadiagreen150]

I've had quite a few drinks while in my shop, but NEVER forgot my safety glasses.

[@JohnDoe-jc3cl]

It looks a little narrow. I’d add 6-8” to it to be useful all around the house.

[@torowazup1]

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👌🏼😎

[@hillbilly4christ638]

If you go to some of the forums, you will notice people trash talking radial arm saws. Norm has no problem with it. Huh.

[@cobhc1986]

Yeah, IMO they aren’t absolutely essential, but do come in really handy for certain things as you can see in this episode and that’s why I have one

[@outdooraf]

Norm in his retirement works for TSA part-time

[@terryprideaux]

It’s true, I saw him build a table at the Boston airport

[@kcjones679]

Would he still stick with a urethane glue today? I'm skeptical.

[@CorwynGC]

Norm always used the best material he could. What would guide your choice to a glue introduced after 1999?

[@johnsrabe]

20:52 Not in love with those black drywall screws. Steel screws would make it look a bit better. 23:14 But those routers! Hilarious!

[@SATXREM]

Before we use any power tools, let’s take a moment to talk about shop safety. Be sure to read, understand, and follow all the safety rules that come with your power tools. Knowing how to use your power tools properly will greatly reduce the risk of personal injury. And remember this: There is no more important safety rule, than to wear these, safety glasses.

[@4HBirtcher]

0:01 Okay Norm, so if you say you don’t do windows, then why are you cleaning the window on your workshop’s large entry door!

[@areareare9953]

That ain't nothing - they made the cameraperson stand on their tippy toes for that shot.

[@GreatDataVideos]

Table saw had no riving knife or blade guard. Probably not used back then, but should be used today.

[@CorwynGC]

Used back then. Taken off to be able to film it. Season 10 of NYW was 1999.

[@sisyphushappyxvx]

@@CorwynGC The riving knife should definitely still have been used. It wouldn't disrupt filming.

[@GreatDataVideos]

@@CorwynGC Thanks.

[@johnsrabe]

You don’t want to watch Tommy use jobsite tablesaw, then. I wince every time he freehands. So to speak.
