Garden Shed and Recycling Center | S8 E10 & 11 [AI HD]

Norm builds a handsome and practical storage shed outside The New Yankee Workshop. The 12-by-8-foot shed with an attached recycling and rubbish center has plenty of room for the lawn mower, snow blower and other lawn and garden tools. Four windows let in the light, and a large door welcomes oversized equipment. The recycling center has enough covered space for sorting and for holding rubbish barrels. The building is finished with Western red cedar clapboards, shingles and galvanized hardware to resist the elements.

Those garden tools have a better home than I do. SHEESH!

[@petemclinc]

That shed is built better than most houses these days...

[@patrickmitchell100]

Absolutely

[@anglobricks9086]

Everything Norm builds is made to last.

[@matthew-d3p]

this is some of the nicest looking framing i have seen on youtube and its for a shed XD i came to make the same comment then i started reading through and found yours

[@officecrazy7]

That’s exactly what I was thinking! Great work.

[@scottpelletier1370]

I know it's a lot of editing but he makes it look effortless.

[@MarkK01]

I am 55 yrs old and I was a devoted New Yankee Work Shop and This Old House watcher. I do not think I ever missed 1 episode. All this detail work just for a shed. I would be proud to live in that shed lol.

[@chrisp.76]

Norm I am a 63 year old woman who has watched every show you’ve been in. I finally am fulfilling my dream of becoming a woodworker. Your shows have been a great inspiration for me.

[@newyankeeworkshop]

Glad to hear it!

[@richardstone2337]

Norm is too cool for me.....When I built my shed, I just bought the kit.........

[@MantisTobogganDoctorofMedicine]

I've never done anything in my life as well as this guy builds a shed.

[@JERRYBRISENO]

I've never seen a shed with this much trim in my life. You could live in that!! Master Woodworker right there 👍👍👍

[@yadaroni]

I am 50 now and remember watching the very first episode when I was about 15. I never missed an episode even though I had no access to anything to build with. It wasnt untill my 30's that I started to build things with wood. Even tgough a few years had passed since I watched an episode, all those years of watching gave me the confidence and foundation to start (before KZbin). This old house and New Yankee workshop will always have a special place in my heart (always watched them back to back).

[@fjeinca]

One thing I’ve always loved about Norm Abram is that he always uses correct terminology, so when learning, ppl like me don’t have to unlearn and relearn everything. The various exterior boards, as well as joists and how it all goes together. Thank you, to Norm and the PBS team who have kept him honest over the decades. 🙏🏻

[@fjeinca]

(Not to imply that he would’ve used slang and joke terminology like so many carpenters have. I wonder how he learned so much in-depth terminology.)

[@fjeinca]

A caveat I’d have limiting my effusive praise is, “Who can afford a project like this with so much 5/4” clear pine, etc.?”

[@newyankeeworkshop]

Norm and Russ's dads were both carpenters - it's in their blood!

[@robthewaywardwoodworker9956]

Amazing detail. No such thing as "just a shed" with Norm.

[@leewriter4656]

I bought my shed at The Home Depot... I brought shame up on myself and my family.

[@kenmandelin7812]

Ha ha!!!! 😂 good one

[@drewburke31]

NYW, along with TOH, is one of the most important programs in public television history in the US. Generations of people have joined the building trades because of these programs. Countless more have a love and appreciation for the skills because of Norm's teachings. Thank you, Norm.

[@R-J-K-]

“This was a good project!” What an understatement.

[@rootman28]

I thought I had seen every episode of NYW but this one was new to me. Thanks Russ and team. Love to see how this one is holding up today.

[@newyankeeworkshop]

It's still standing! We'll need to make an update video.

[@christopherstein106]

That would be great to see how it has aged over the past 26 years.

[@mrpiccolo23]

@@newyankeeworkshop Nice! I wondered how well the 'foundation' held up!

[@christopherstein106]

I always wondered why Norm didn't pour a concrete foundation instead of of a wood beam and plywood system. The latter is more expensive.

[@erikleorga]

@@newyankeeworkshop Please do!

[@kellynewman862]

I’m so thankful these videos are available to enjoy today! Thank you Russ & Norm! Timeless!

[@newyankeeworkshop]

Our pleasure!

[@VeganSmasher]

I can smell the sawdust while watching this classic. Norm was my childhood hero.

[@Alf.G]

This video is absolutely full of priceless information that could be applied to many different projects. Plus I don't think I've seen a nicer looking garden shed ever. Norm is a true master. Thank you for adding this particular two part episode to the channel !!

[@WhackDaddy_Bannon]

Hugh should have been nominated for an Emmy for this episode

[@stoneyj1a1]

You dont see lumber that clean at Home Depot or Menards. Today they are loaded with knots & twists.

[@briantippets]

Norm made sweet woodworking love to this shed. HOUSES wish they were treated with this much tender care (and quality materials). My word.

[@iancrossley6637]

A long time ago there was a Beatles song where John Lennon says at the end "Thank you very much and I hope we passed the audition". I thought of this after viewing Norms garden shed. His good project was a demonstration of a lifetime of skills on display. There is no doubt that Norm passed the audition.

[@wdwtx2.0]

"This was a good project." Understatement.

[@CharlesHepburn2]

This guy is a freaking legend. I remember watching this with my father.

[@jamespayne3181]

I remember seeing this episode when it aired on tv when I was in middle school. Used to watch it with my grandpa and it always aggravated him that Norm never seemed to make a mistake 😂

[@bryanmccain969]

I'll bet that shed is still there with little to no repairs made over the years. I've seen houses that weren't assembled that meticulously!! Truly a master carpenter!

[@richardb.5691]

Wow! Only Norm would build such a beautiful shed building. Amazing!

[@robertlaird6746]

I used to watch Norm when I was a kid. He was the best!

[@m0nk3yl0v3r]

The theme tune just transports me back to being a kid watching this on Discovery channel in the UK 7am on a Saturday morning... just after Transworld Sport and followed by Bob Ross... Glorious

[@discoveryman59]

Norm!!! You ARE the GOAT of DIY!!!

[@kenknight4560]

You could learn from Norm and build your own cabinets, furniture and a shed like this. Bet this shed is still in great shape 30+ winters down the line. Norm is still the Gold Standard for learning to build things. Thank You Norm! RIP Roget Cook.

[@newyankeeworkshop]

As part of our Thank You video we showed some of the outdoor projects as they stand today including the shed: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6jRhpqvnpyCmrc

[@woodfather]

I've never seen anything like 7:18 before, and I could watch it 10 times still not understanding it. Also, love how Norm kicks Hugh offsite within microseconds of not needing assistance any more 😆 Great build and video 👍 Man I love this channel.

[@newyankeeworkshop]

Norm mentions the rise and the run are both 12 inches and the tangent is those two numbers divided, so it's 12/12 or "1". Then you have to drag out the Pythagorean Theorem 😰 Thankfully because the Tangent is 1 you just have to take one side (4 feet) times the square root of 2. (1.414…). There’s the added hassle of converting to fractions but basically 4 x 1.414… = 5.656… Or just punch it into the calculator 😅

[@s-c..]

Thanks KZbin for gifting me with this blast from the past! Norm was such an inspiration for me as a young woman in Australia. I was in absolute awe of his workshop. He had tools and equipment that I’d never heard of before, certainly none of the local diy shows had them. To this day I still think of Norm whenever the topic of jointers comes up! Wishing you all the best Norm : )

[@darkdreamsinc.]

Norm is a super hero

[@BarB2-90Nine]

Always watch you ,when you were on This Old House Show and now ur own show. Tys for your videos

[@MrLuridan]

I wish I learned carpentry from Norm, or someone like him. Instead, I ended up with one of the millions of guys who are good, but think they’re the best, and always are stressed out when doing things out of their comfort zone.

[@BacktheBlue60]

Nahmmy ❤, I've waited years for someone to put your show on KZbin. I quit cable a long time ago because of the cost. I am a long time fan. Now let's settle in for some New Yankee Workshop!

[@newyankeeworkshop]

We're about halfway through - so get comfortable 😀

[@philluvschips3787]

30 years later these video's still show great skills.

[@Petertronic]

Thank you for putting this wonderful programme on youtube. This took me back 20 years when I used to watch this show almost every day on a satellite channel, now long gone, called Discovery Home and Leisure (in the UK) .

[@paulcarter2907]

Makes it look so easy, damn him!

[@davidcole333]

Norm did a masterful job with this. I just think the inside needed to be finished out more with some shelving options, maybe even an attic. But the outside is a masterpiece.

[@ryanbitters6547]

Needed some Norm on my Friday afternoon, thank you Russ and Norm!

[@mikestavlund3052]

This has to be my favorite episode. So much to learn here, especially in what he builds in the shop, what he builds “on the ground”, and what he makes in place on the literal side of the building. Also the preference for hand tools when he has so many power tools at his disposal. A master class that we can watch again and again. Also: I would relish a super cut compilation of poor Hugh getting dragged out of bed to lift some heavy thing(s) before being summarily and immediately sent away. Hugh is the unsung hero of NYW.

[@eliporter3980]

I grew up watching New Yankee Workshop as a kid and always wanted to get into woodworking. Last month I bought my first table saw and getting ready to start my first carpentry project. I'm glad I can rewatch these episodes on KZbin so I can try to recreate some of his projects.

[@jeangriffith8017]

Norm you're killing me man! Unbelievable! Great job. You are the Michael Jordan of carpentry.

[@robertkerby2581]

Exceptional Craftsmanship! Well done, Norm!

[@christopherstein106]

Russ and NYW crew, thank you for letting us stream this long lost classic. We are looking forward to the 1996 Router table from the same season as the storage shed.

This shed is nicer than a lot of houses. Love it

[@EdmundDarnton]

Been watching norm for twenty years now , never fails to impress such a talented man ..

[@robd1365]

Wow, NYW on KZbin! My absolute favourite show as a young man, I must have watched many seasons of this and This old house on Discovery Home and Leisure back in the 90s. Subscribed and looking forward to watching these old shows again.

[@barcodenosebleed5485]

I've got a hunch that this is the kind of work Norm preferred vs. more of the fine furniture type projects covered in many episodes. There's just a fit and finish on this that is next level. All the extra jargon, the details he highlights, the effortlessness; feels like he's really in his element. The thought being, perhaps Norm's most motivating passion is applying these kinds of classic 'Master Carpenter' techniques to more architectural type building projects. Yet to the extent you can create a differentiated television show with mass appeal, you need to branch out into projects with more mass appeal, things that people appreciate more easily, that they can and want to build themselves. This isn't a criticism of Norm at all, or the show. And I could just be talking nonsense. This one just seemed extra special and was wondering if it was revealing some insight into what he liked, how he thought about his trade and who he was as a craftsman.

[@newyankeeworkshop]

It's always been his first love and it's really his element. He built this whole shed in four days which is pretty amazing. It's like riding a bike for him.

[@GeorgeFistoot]

So much paint maintenance, 😐

[@GeorgeFistoot]

Norm is either a savant or a talented carpenter

[@Earthrise86]

I have watched this eight maybe ten times already. I truly can watch Norm all day long. As a kid I preferred New Yankee to something like Dragon Ball or Pokemon. Thanks Russ for uploading these. I truly want to get some measured plans and build some stuff. First, I need a table saw....

[@ВиталийАверьянов-ъ4н]

This shed is very cool! Thank you for your job!

[@drakeorion94]

Freakin detail is insane

[@mickbrown942]

I wish I had a fraction of his gift. Norm is the epitome of a craftsman. I don’t understand how you get to all the angles, miters, rise, and pitch but I sure do enjoy watching it come together.

[@sydsyd]

I watch every episode, several times and learned so much over the years! Excellent program. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@kkupsky6321]

I appreciate that you think I have all those tools. My shed has secret compartments like an eccentric counts castle. I know this safety rules by heart. Word for word. I miss Norman. We weren’t so familiar.

[@aaqilian5.085]

I had my mind blown more than once throughout this vid. Brilliant stuff.

[@jimrowland8310]

Norm is the best, tip of the hat to that man 👏

[@brianparkhurst1019]

Russell, how has this shed aged over the years? I ,as someone who grew up with norm, started my own construction company partly because of norm and TOH, would love to know how well things have lasted. I'm sure with the proper maintenance it's just like he left it. I enjoy driving by the first house that I built in 1998, and it looks just like I left it. Quality not quantity.

[@edwardboot3431]

On this episode of new yankee workshop, we teach you how to build the workshop 😂 i love these videos, what invaluable information, and Norm is a master to build this with little to no help

[@sapelesteve]

Now this is Norm in his element. You can tell by his energy & enthusiasm. I don't recall having watched this particular episode but am glad to have found it. I just subscribed to this channel! 👍👍🔨🔨

[@newyankeeworkshop]

Thanks for the sub! Enjoy.

[@needfuldoer4531]

Some episodes are primarily about completing a project. Some episodes are for teaching techniques, and the project is a means to that end. This episode was an opportunity for Norm to flex!

[@ROBERTGOSHEY]

I think with all the expensive materials and "gingerbread" this shed would cost nearly ... $10k now in January 2025 just for materials???? Just guessing. Would cost a small fortune to have a consumate craftsman like Norm build now. Always loved his shows and he gave me the confidence to tackle many home projects. Long live Norm!!

[@RazsterTW]

I enjoy watching these. Lord save me if my wife sees them.

[@Silent-G]

The craftsmanship is amazing!

[@mcarroll598]

Grew up watching you Norm. I am a journeyman electrician going on 26 years now. I apply at times some methods that I have picked up from your shows. I tell my apprentices PLUMB, LEVEL, SQUARE and you can’t go wrong when laying out equipment. Love how you build things

[@claytonsimplot9554]

I saw the date at the end of the video as1996. I'm sure the shed you built will still be here in 2096 and further on.

[@Cbtrainnut]

Nothing like watching the best doing his thing! I have missed watching Norm! Thanks for bringing this to KZbin!

[@SharonHendricks-x8f]

I love the NYW and of course TOH also. Even though I'll never make all these wonderful cuts etc., I totally enjoy watching it being done, especially by you, Norm. HOWEVER.....I need a simply built chicken house! And I need it done as inexpensively as possible, which at today's prices will be IMpossible for the 12 x 16 size that I need. That won't keep me from watching your builds, though! Thank you for another amazing video❤

[@seangalvin540]

no beers for Hugh? I wish my house was built this diligently. Right out of high-school I worked for a low voltage company that worked with a lot of high-end custom home builders. It was amazing to see them have a fully functioning woodshop setup in the garage of the house being built. They would hand make all of the trim, cabinets, built-ins, etc. It's getting harder and harder to find such craftsmanship and attention to details these days....

[@derricklavoie2513]
