Thanks for posting these episodes. It is fantastic to see Norm build those projects again. They are timeless and endlessly fascinating.

[@jberg8159]

I am Norm’s biggest fan.

[@conniedrumjr275]

I’ve been watching from the beginning great show

[@johnsrabe]

22:30 You have to listen very carefully to catch the jokes in this series. Norm’s humor is kiln-dried.

Built both in the early 1990s with the VHS tape and measured drawings. My first Norm projects where I learned a lot by doing the work with the video tape. To this day I still have a TV (and iPad) in the shop and barn for how to videos on KZbin. The three step pine step stool traveled with my shop from MA to PA and back to CA and is still in use today - 30+ years later! The two step cherry step stool (made it out of oak) left me years ago with my first wife. My first use of my Leigh dovetail jig. Again Norm, thanks for the memories and teachings.

I always loved Norm’s Safety Prayer. “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 no more important safety rule to wear these, safety glasses.”

[@ericball95]

Except his glasses are not safety glasses.

[@greencello599]

​@@ericball95 There are prescription glasses that double as safety glasses. Useful for craftsmen.

[@ericball95]

@@greencello599 I know what prescription safety glasses are. I wear them at work and in my woodshop. Those are not it.

[@ryanhessler8966]

​@@greencello599they should have side shields to qualify as safety glasses

[@waygonedon]

Sometimes he taps his glasses once, and sometimes twice.

[@billstevens3796]

Damn, learned a couple things. And I probably watched this when it first came out! 🤣

[@robertdestefano4619]

Thank you Mr Morash

[@4HBirtcher]

Season 3 has some different power tools! Radial Arm Saw and Table Saw among others!

All carpenters should have a Boston accent.

[@ObiMomKenobi13]

This is a nice set of projects. I may attempt the pine stool. It would be handy for kids to reach the sink or counters. Great show.

[@demetrioalbidrez684]

I liked 👍 Norm's step by step instructions in all his videos about about building furniture. Where can I get his videos in making furniture and are they still available to the public 👀 ??

[@mrpiccolo23]

Yes right here.

[@williams8198]

LIke the way he is to the point without preamble. The youtube wood workers should mirrow

[@newyankeeworkshop]

¡Gracias!

[@exploringplaceshistoryantiques]

Who made that dove tail jig? What is a reliable one? Always enjoy watching Norm work!

[@NV..V]

I think in this season he used the Porter Cable one. The first model, not the Omni Jig. Both are still available.

[@johnsrabe]

11:52 yes there is … a Japanese pull saw.

[@ahbushnell1]

Are you going to sell plans?

[@linuxsdad]

I can't believe he stained cherry.

[@stevenwarner7348]

Actually this site is illegal. This is a "reposting" or attempt at "recreating" the New Yankee Workshop which was produced through WGBH TV so long ago. The person who is posting these shows as the actual show with Norm Abrams says that since he "owns the building" he can "launch" an "official" New Yankee Workshop You Tube Site. This is the exact content without any context. Norm Abrams needs a lawyer. Copy-write law addresses this. Do not subscribe.

[@Dave6842]

Russ Morash is the owner of the physical shop, as well as the original creator and producer of the show. I imagine he has some rights to the show too, no? He and/or his company are the ones running this channel.

[@CrimeVid]

Those step stools are as dangerous as hell, the foot must be extended past the back of the stool or you will be on your face. These are much used on second fix building sites and always have a batten on each side projecting forward.

[@817seanwhite]

Rush actually has a video published acknowledging this site.... kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZyxmYqdpLmnmpo

[@stevenwarner7348]

@@817seanwhite I've seen it. That video is what defines the travesty of this so called "Official" thing. Norm should be the "current" spokes person for his work "back in the day." Not "the old guy" who happens to own the building. Norm Abram is the New Yankee Workshop. Not "Rush" ! Whew! So obvious.

[@zenmaster76]

@@stevenwarner7348 Norm was hired talent. He doesn't own the rights. The producer does (the one running this channel)
