Norm builds his version of a perennial favorite, the Victorian kitchen table, using a design that combines the best features of three tables he studied in Britain. Made of century-old "sinker" pine salvaged from river bottoms in the southeastern United States, the table has a deep storage drawer that extends halfway under the table. Norm demonstrates how to incorporate this drawer into the table's design and how to turn the table's sturdy legs on a lathe.

I think that Norm deserves to be awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom from the president. This award recognizes great American civilians. Norm has taught or inspired countless Americans to work with their hands over his many years on TV. He is a true American and deserves this great honor (imo).

I totally agree but not happening in this administration, Norm's the wrong skin color

@hdwoodshop Год назад

@@pauldean7690sad but true. And he’s also not the right other “labels” people identify with.

@marilynsnider8183 Год назад

Amen to that.

@peoplethesedaysberetarded Год назад

He’s a straight (as far as I know) white male who has selected and mastered a profession. He’s not getting squat from this administration.

Its great to watch these shows again years later. Norm has been an inspiration to millions of woodworkers.

@sidestreetposse Год назад

One of the things I love about Norm is how matter-of-factly he embraced new technologies and tools, totally unencumbered by ideologies of what is and isn’t “real” or “authentic” woodworking. A sign of a woodworker sure of his craft and craftsmanship. He knew what he wanted to accomplish and accomplished it in the most efficient manner he could think of. Contrast this with so much of today’s woodworking content - so many woodworkers seek to define themselves by what tools or processes they use (or don’t use). I have no doubt that in today’s NYW there’d be a big CNC machine that would be used often.

Thank you for the videos I had no idea till now how much I loved watching these when growing up norm was a class act

It's so great to be able to watch this show again. It's absolutely meditating experience.

Simply timeless and Beautiful! Norm Abram Style. Thanks Norm and Russ!

Thanks for putting these great videos on RU-vid. Just wish there were new ones being made

@davemanley8700 Год назад

I’ve built several of his projects 20 years ago and still have them. I enjoyed every minute making them.

@dougiedoug2921 Год назад

I was always excited to watch the weekly episodes back in the day. The methods and ideas have been well used. Thanks!

@michaelhenry5946 Год назад

You may not believe this, but cleaning out an old cupboard a couple of months ago, found a VHS tape that I recorded back when the series was on. Can't use now but, this on RU-vid brings back many happy times. Thanks Norm

@Rubbernecker Год назад

I'm really enjoying these videos!! They all bring back so many memories.

@CorwynGC Год назад

Made a table like this years ago, watched this to get an idea how to add a drawer. Thanks.

@haroldneely9253 Год назад

Good to see Norm again. My skills will never compare, but I get plenty of tips how to get it right on the small projects I take on. 👍

@johncornell3665 Год назад

Truly a great man and a great woodworker

@167curly 5 месяцев назад

I love that classic kitchen table with its end drawer, handy for table mats, napkins, coasters etc. Many kitchens now would have an island though, personally I prefer the flexibility of a table. Having done wood lathe work myself, I appreciate your duplicating gizmo as I know how tricky it can be to make identical lamps, legs etc.

@mrrepurpose9596 Год назад

When I first watched this oh so many years ago, as a novice, it seemed overwhelming. Having gained a little experience since then, I find many useful tips and tricks.

Turned out great. I really like the look of the plain pine. Only to be able to find nice looking pine boards like that today.

Or ones that are not warped.

Thanks for sharing

@erikleorga Год назад

That heart pine looked so amazing. I just don't know that I'd want to stain it and lose the natural colors.

@badassfood5713 11 месяцев назад

Can you imagine Norm doing a Tom Fidgeon style hand tool video.

@bratticuss Год назад

Should made the table with detachable legs. It would make it easy to transport.

@woodfold Год назад

Love this series, but why did you skip S5E04 Oak Coffee Table? It's not the same as S04E04 Coffee Table which you did post? And what about S04E13 Ladder-back Chair? That's another great project that I'd love to see Norm building. Do you plan on ultimately posting all of the episodes? Anyway, thanks for what you've done so far.

@newyankeeworkshop Год назад

We're missing both of them. We have VHS copies but still looking for the original masters. fingers crossed we find them but we will post all we have.

@dougs3274 Год назад

@frfalbo Год назад

No disrespect intended. But that shop has about a 1/2 Million dollars worth of tools. How much quality furniture can one buy with 1/2 Million dollars???????

@201081hero Год назад

I think you need a new calculator as you are well off with that figure, even for 1992 tool prices.

@RabbleInArms 9 месяцев назад

Not even close to that figure. But, if you think this is about saving money then you missed the point. It's about making something yourself. It's about pride in workmanship. It's about using your hands. But, in all honesty, I can tell you that a table like that made that well would cost thousands. Most furniture you get today, even the good stuff, is just mass produced from cheap materials. It won't stand the test of time. This table Norm made will last hundreds of years if taken care of.

@frfalbo 9 месяцев назад

I did not miss the point. And I reiterate that I respect what he does! What I am saying is that the average woodworker can not afford all the "Specialized Precision Tools" Norm has at his disposal!!!!!@@RabbleInArms

@RabbleInArms 9 месяцев назад

@@frfalbo No disrespect but what I responded to was your question of buying furniture over buying tools and making furniture yourself. Agreed that most people can't afford some of these tools but the only ones I see is the lathe and duplicator. The others are standard woodworking tools. You could make the legs tapered or even straight.

@areareare9953 6 месяцев назад

But where's the fun in that?
