Years ago on This Old House we featured the installation of a wooden flagpole on our Napa, California project. Now Norm has taken up the challenge on making one in The NewYankee Workshop. Made of strong Douglas fir, glued with epoxy, painted with marine paint and mounted on a welded steel ground anchor designed by master welder Bob Diorio, this flagpole is easy to maintain because the whole pole can be lowered to the ground whenever necessary. Be the first in your neighborhood to make your own flagpole.
Season: 15 | Episode: 9
Original Air Date: March 1, 2003

Norm is one of only a handful of people outside of my family and close friends that I genuinely get sad about thinking they won't be around forever. What an amazing asset he has been to this world.

@rxlo1015 28 дней назад

I totally agree 👍

@luke8210 Месяц назад

I grew up watching norm as a kid. Im still amazed as i was as a kid. That man has true talent for his craft. New yankee and the woodwrights shop were my all time favorites.

Norm makes a very difficult process seem easy. Norm is a National American treasure. Thank you Norm for years of service.

@ScottH-kx1dm 4 дня назад

Thank you Norm. I have watched since the beginning.

@gentlemancrumb388 26 дней назад

Man, I haven't seen this show in ages, so glad it showed up in my suggestions. Norm Abram is a National Treasure!

@John_NJDM Месяц назад

There were so many flags around America because this was less than two years after 9/11. Thanks for your patriotism, Norm.

@167curly Месяц назад

Yet now, 23 years later there is talk of giving one of those murderers a nominal pardon!

@briansipe9755 23 дня назад

This why Norm is an artist as well as a master craftsman. The only 2 things my dad and both of grandfathers ever agreed on was Charlie Pride and Mr. Norm

Wonderful episode. Me at the hardware store: "I'll take 100 clamps please."

@guyfranks4354 Месяц назад

Hey Norm, I went to a Boarding Military Academy from January 31, 1971 to Early June 1973. One of the Cadets' dutys was to be excused from all classes and other dutys for one day each school year to perform the Dutys of Officer of the Day, Sergeant of the Guard or Orderly. Those Cadets sounded all the bugle calls and raised and lowered the US Flag at the proper time each day. I was taught to tie 4 Half Hitches to secure the Flag, after winding the rope on the cleat. Seeing this video brings back memories. Thank You.

I grew up watching Norm from the first time Bob Vila introduced him on This Old House. I then watched probably every episode of The New Yankee Workshop. This man is probably responsible for selling a ton of wood working tools for a lot of businesses. May God bless him and his family always. 🙏🏽🔨🪚

@167curly Месяц назад

A good patriotic gesture.

@jamesdennis5699 28 дней назад

I don’t have the tools or the talent to built a flag pole like the one Norm is building but even so he does inspire me to put up my American flag tomorrow and leave it up and display it proudly. And I urge all proud Americans to do the same. Especially in the state our country is presently in. GOD BLESS AMERICA.

@kevincozens6837 26 дней назад

Nice project. Interesting to see that TNYW is still going strong after all these years. I have always admired Norm's woodworking skills since I first saw him working with Bob Vila in episodes of This Old House.

No Dominos No Shaper Origin It’s a pleasure watching a craftsman ply his trade

@ccoder4953 26 дней назад

There's still people doing stuff like this. For example, Matthias Wandel, here on RU-vid. He's even built a bunch of his own power tools. And he definitely doesn't use dominos. He doesn't even like pocket holes. You've also got people like Frank Howarth, also on RU-vid. He's definitely way better equipped (actually even better than Norm was), but still really good. And amazing at making videos.

@davidrobins7753 27 дней назад

As always, you do a fantastic job. Thank you.

@KH6WZ 25 дней назад

Excellent! So glad to see this one since I didn't catch it when it originally aired!

GOOD SEEING YOU AGAIN, NORM!!!

@mrz6462 Месяц назад

Norm is a true craftsman and a National Treasure. Imagine what this man could do today if he a a shop full of Festool woodworking machines.

@Conradlovesjoy Месяц назад

He could do the same stuff… festool stuff is high quality, but nothing revolutionary…

@keith7630 Месяц назад

That’s a pretty cool build. Very unique.

@devinreynolds-FDW Месяц назад

@whocares0692 Месяц назад

Sir, you are a MASTER of your craft. I hope you're well. Thank You.

17:04 I'd fill it with cement, not concrete... 😅😊 For those that might get confused, Cement makes concrete

@SATXREM Месяц назад

Before we use any power tools, let’s 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.

@steveskouson9620 29 дней назад

Norm, on wooden sailing boats, the main mast shape is exactly how you discribed. Square where it hits the keelson, octagonal where it clears the deck, and round up to the truck. It is not a large truck, since it is at the top of a mast. (Or, what Army people call a flagpole) steve

I think the one who was holding the level was one of Russ's granddaughters.

@4HBirtcher Месяц назад

You can make out of wood a smaller flagpole to attach to the pillar of your house because that’s a lot of wood not knowing how expensive fir is.

@m.d.e.845 Месяц назад

I think I’m going to do that! Thanks for the idea!

@aramis295 Месяц назад

That's the tallest flagpole that no one has ever made out of wood, Norm!

@Ea-Nasir_Copper_Co Месяц назад

There have been at least two taller wooden flagpoles. The tallest ever wooden flagpole in the world at 225 feet was found at Kew Gardens in London, UK, and was fashioned from a Douglas fir harvested in British Columbia; it was taken down due to rot in 2007. Its closest competitor, at Stampede Park in Calgary, Canada, was 202 feet tall, and was also fashioned from a BC Douglas fir; it was taken down in 2001, also due to rot.

@m.d.e.845 Месяц назад

Wood was way cheaper than steel before the Industrial Revolution. I’d say most flag poles were wood or wood pikes.

@millsvalleycrafts Месяц назад

30 years ago I made one 6 ft taller. Still standing and holding a flag too.

@fredwild190 Месяц назад

Beautiful job, but I'd be tempted to paint the hollow inside to protect it from moisture. Thank you.

@steveskouson9620 29 дней назад

"I've used every clamp I have." What?? Norm doesn't have a clamp room? I'd have thought that he would have a clamp hangar, or a warehouse to equal NASAs. steve

@NoOneIsGoingToSaveYou 27 дней назад

Match and a bullet in the ball is what is missing. How you would get it if the mast did not pivot?

@jeremiah3543 Месяц назад

I wonder if this flag pole is still there? Anyone know where this is?

@krockpotbroccoli65 Месяц назад

He said it's on Nantucket.

@alswoodworkingbits6082 Месяц назад

Russ had another property on Nantucket which featured a few times over the years and was where several projects ended up, it's pretty much a certainty that's where the flagpole was installed.

@newyankeeworkshop Месяц назад

It's still there. Needed a paint job, but standing tall and proud.

@drgdieselfrenzy7707 Месяц назад

I know this is old, but I'm disappointed that Norm bought a cleat from the Internet, he could have bought it from a local marine store on the island, they must have piles of them.
