In a departure from the traditional New England-style furniture usually featured on The New Yankee Workshop, Norm draws inspiration from the furniture craftsmen of the southwestern United States to constructs mission-style sofa whose signature simple lines and oak frame allow for cushions. Despite its distinctive regional flavor, Norm's design for this project features the same woodworking techniques - including mortise-and-tenon joinery - he employs in creating his other pieces.
Season: 2 | Episode: 9

Such good memories watching this with my parents as a kid..... You inspired so many Norm! Thank you!

@mikeeeeee555 Год назад

Norm is the GOAT

Another Amen.

I’d love to spend a day in Norm’s shop. He’s a master craftsman and fabulous teacher. Huge fan of Norm!

@Pipsqwak 4 месяца назад

Imagine having Norm as your high school woodshop instructor.

@rlevitta 22 дня назад

Yeah. Too bad hardly any schools have shop any more.

@rlevitta 22 дня назад

I love the dust collection on that thickness planer - none! I wish that Norm had used the same techniques to make the slats fit exactly in the Morris chair episode - making a measuring stick and then using it to make the length between the slat’s tenon shoulders exact. I did a lot of measuring instead. Using a thing made from a thing to measure a thing is better than using a ruler.

@PUBHEAD1 Год назад

Give me a stool to sit on and a cup of tea and I'd happily sit in the corner of that shop all day watching the master at work

@SB_170 Год назад

Wow this brings back memories of 25 years ago when I first got sky TV and all these American programs were on. Love this along with This Old House 😊

@jameswortner6135 Год назад

Just noticed that this is the first episode with a Delta Unisaw! Saved and bought one in early 90s because Norm used it throughout NYW for many years forward. She has moved with me from MA to PA and to finally to CA. Still the cornerstone of my shop. Thanks Norm!

@thegardenofeatin5965 9 месяцев назад

Surely a table saw is a centerpiece, not a cornerstone.

@swannyburger5866 Год назад

You think Norm ever messed up a cut and threw the wood across the shop??? Dudes so chill.

@bfpierce Год назад

Calmly saying “Well guys, I destroyed half of my lumber because the angle on my sawr was off when I stahted”. Right before the violent barrage of wood across the shop.

@Weaseldog2001 9 месяцев назад

More likely he would just say, "What a a stroke of serendipity, I need pieces about this size, for another project we'll be getting to in another episode."

@failuretolaunchdrums 9 месяцев назад

Wow. Might try and build a bedframe like this (same idea but larger)

@seymoreduless8920 Год назад

I have been inspired by norm since his days with Bob V. This is my 38th year as a stair builder. Norm is the only TV carpenter I can watch without turning off in frustration of stupidity especially on RU-vid. God bless you norm. I still wish I had your shop.

@EnlightnMe48 Год назад

Was it his? I'm wondering if it was Mr Morash's shop this whole time and Norm just used the tools to promote them on the show for the manufacturer. Nothing wrong with that if that's how it went down. It was a well done show and the man really knew what he was doing with those tools. Some of those custom jigs he used were pretty ingenious. He always gave credit where it was do. Very humble man. There's a video on RU-vid put out by the producer of NYW and he's giving us a present day tour of the workshop. It's very interesting. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KkNhWgoTtd8.html

@calivalley9056 Год назад

I would love to see the complete collection of “The New Yankee Worksop” get upgraded/restored to 4k, I would purchase the set.

@thegardenofeatin5965 Год назад

I think the best thing you could hope for is AI upscaling; I think the show was shot on tape, meaning 480i is the best resolution available. At least for the earlier episodes; later episodes may have been recorded at higher resolutions.

@DeanTX 3 месяца назад

I LOVE this, but the wood to buold that would be over 1k in todays market

@IanGouki Год назад

Is it me or hearing those tools is pure ASMR?

@PUBHEAD1 Год назад

Yep. Love that sound. And the smell of fresh cut lumber. Makes me think of my dad.

@1steelcobra Год назад

I know it was likely so he could show how to do multiple techniques on different machines, but while he was cutting the tenons the entire time I was just thinking "use a dado stack and just cut it all off in a few passes with the same sacrificial fence jig."

@ravenation8756 Год назад

As an avid viewer in the UK, I'm glad that he did show these multiple techniques. Trying to buy a table saw in the UK that will accept a dado stack is nigh on impossible. Even most of the big cabinet style saws use stubby arbors to prevent it due to H&S regs (that only apply to use in a business setting). Norm showing these techniques, allowed me to build a whole load of furniture without the need for a dado stack.

@1steelcobra Год назад

@@ravenation8756 I'll note though that you don't really need a dado stack, it just takes more passes with a regular blade.

@oreospapa Год назад

Where can I get cushions if I want to build something like this?

@EnlightnMe48 Год назад

I was wondering if you can have a local upholstery shop custom make a set? I bet they even have pattern selections, too.

I bet he just had dental surgery. What a trooper.

@chrisfreemesser5707 Год назад

How depressing is it that this episode is *33* years old already?

@addeenen7684 5 месяцев назад

I need my Dutch husband to be able to sleep on the sofa, just like my dad did. So the cusions of the sofa must be at least 2.10 meter / 7 feet. How deep must it be?

@newyankeeworkshop 5 месяцев назад

The cushion size is 23" x 65". You can adjust the size by adding a couple more slats.

@HotRodRodney25 Год назад

Looks like 3/4 of a baby crib

@eddie8730 Год назад

80 dollars back then would've been the equivalent to about 4 troy ounces of gold. Today that would be about 8000 dollars with gold at 2k

@uncannyvalleywoods7248 Год назад

Still such a shame that Norm didn't use quarter sawn white oak for this project.

I myself would have gone maple with a pickled stain.

The man likes what he likes. 🤔 Matter of preference I reckon.

@johnsrabe Год назад

Mission Style looks impressive but the 0-degree back is NOT comfortable. (Even with cushions, which take up a lot of sitting space.) You want 12-degrees at least.

@Pipsqwak 11 месяцев назад

Get sloped foam shapes for your back cushions. That's what I did when I built a pair of prairie settles. The backrest and arm cushions have a slant on the exposed side to provide a comfortable seating angle. It looks classy and it is so comfortable! My prairie-style settle has wide, flat boards along the top side and back edge, mitered at the corners, that serve as arms instead of the simple rail on the top like the settle in this episode. I like to have a flat armrest on sofas and chairs.
