We need more of Norm and less of the Kardashians. The world would just be a better place.
So right. 🖖✌️😎💙
Youre not kidding
Norm's an American treasure.
Mate Norms a global treasure that just happens to be an American. We love him in Australia as well. He has that something that just makes you feel you can do it. A wonderful teacher.
@@robwhite461 Yep, same here in France, of all places.
@@Sodabowski Yep, same here in Canada's east coast. :)
@@robwhite461as a fellow Aussie, I couldn’t agree more, what a top bloke!
1,000%
Norm has had a huge impact on my life. I've never met him in person but have watched every episode of both his shows. He's such a kind inspiring human. So great to see him again.
👍
I could not agree more. Norm is a true Master and what he gave in his years on television is nobel prize worthy.
Exactly the same for me mate, I always liked Norm best on the This old House team and loved his workshop he taught me a lot
Norm is a living legend, he's inspired me to pursue custom furniture building 30yrs ago.
Love norm sitting in a 9 dollar lawn chair just telling stories. I could listen all day
Norm is one of the founding fathers of Home Improvement. So great to see him again.
Norm Abram is an amazing artist! He is an amazing human being! I enjoyed learning from him. “Measure Twice, Cut Once” as well as "Before we use any power tools, let's take a moment to 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!"
Norm's the best of all time
Some man - Living legend. I learned cabined making + DIY + accurate wood working from Norm when I was 21
I met Norm at an event many years ago. He is my woodworking hero and inspiration. He signed a wooden hammer for me. It's still on my wall and I treasure it. He was very nice.
Great show. Norm is probably the only celebrity I would love to meet in person. I have made some of his projects.
Jordan of carpentry ❤ this man deserves a statue.. carved in chestnut ❤
I discovered Norm's New Yankee Workshop late but ever since watching it everything I build has a little bit of him in it - be it a mitre or a biscuit or just putting on 'these safety glasses'. Wonderful to see him looking so well and comfortable.
The GOAT ( greatest of all time)of all things wood, his name is Norm Abram.
Love Love Love Norm. Great teacher!
Ive been a soldier, welder, mechanic,carpenter,truck driver amongst other trades during my 40+ years of adulthood. Some of my most treasured times in my life were hands down the few times I made deliveries to sites to deliver some of the things I hauled. Norm and Tommy and the rest of the crew were always some of the most polite people I’ve ever encountered. I miss New Yank Workshop
That is so awesome. I'm a bit envious!
Nom is the best , such a humble man with great skill ❤
Norm is a big reason I got into woodworking
He's the reason I took on projects that I didn't know how to do. He inspired me to try things outside my comfort zone.
I loved when Nick Offerman said that he was more honored meeting the this old guys than working with DeNiro lol. He said when meeting Norm, he expected him to be 40 feet high lol. Loved that
He is the OG of wood, the patron saint of masculinity!
Norm is the original badass wood working craftsman.
I built a custom English bar, wainscoted rec room with coffered ceiling and home theatre in my basement all because of the inspiration and pleasure I drew from watching New Yankee Workshop around 30 years ago. Norm’s skill, patience and kindness always shone through in the episodes he filmed, and here in this interview. Thank you Norm. If, on some far off chance, you happen to read this, let me wish the best to you in your journey to 100 and beyond.
Mr. Norm Abram, thank you so much for sharing your passion of woodworking with us. Enjoyed you on this old house and NYW on PBS starting in early 80's in Texas. Wishing and praying the best for you. Saludos desde Medellín, Colombia...🙏...☺️...👋... Chao
I started watching This Old House with my Dad, who was also a skilled carpenter, and built many houses including the one I grew up in....I continued to watch with my husband and we've seen Norm a few times in person at Home Shows in NJ and ALWAYS was impressed by the lectures he did about This Old House and The New Yankee Workshop...He was always available to the people afterward to speak, individually, with anyone who would stick around...He's an amazing craftsman and an even more amazing, "down to Earth" kind of guy! LOVED this interview and happy to hear he is doing well! 'Hoping we get to see that sail boat when he builds it!
Norm made me a maker!!!! Can't thank him enough!
May Norm Abram live long and prosper. He has given much to this world.
Norm is the reason the spark was light inside me to become a journeyman. I have been at it as both a Cabinetmaker and Carpenter for the past 20 years. Before that I tinkered in my little 1 car garage shop.
We watched this old house and the New Yankee workshop every weekend.
Great interview, and entertaining set up!
Norm is a National Treasure of home improvement.
I had the pleasure of meeting Norm once about 30 years ago. I asked him to sign my copy of one his NYW books. Norm was delighted to discover saw dust in the pages of the book, and penciled in corrections to some minor design details. He was pleased to see proof that I had built some of the projects from the book. I still have the book and a picture with Norm in my shop. Norm is a great, down to earth, guy.😊
I grew up in the UK and strong point going through school was woodworking. I had a shop teacher named John Hayton that really helped and guided me on my way. I moved to the US in 1990 and now have a pretty advanced woodworking shop that I enjoy working in. I have to say that the single most inspiring influence for me and my woodworking today was Norm Abram. In his time he was the best. There are a ton of TH-cam channel woodworkers that I'm sure somewhere along the way were also influenced by Norm. I'd like to see Norm turn that garage into a woodshop/studio and develop a TH-cam channel on his own which I'm sure would quickly get subscribers in the millions!
I'm 38 and I grew up watching Norm Abram My dad used to watch him all the time in this old house and also the Yankee workshop.
Ive been hammering nails since i was a youngster, working as a carpenter as an adult ,and have had my carpenters license since 1996. Ive looked up to Norm since i first saw him on TOH.
He is the man.
I love Norm!! Thank you so much for doing this interview!! I wish it were longer. This is lovely!!
This interview is gold! Great work.
So glad you enjoyed Mr Luridan!
A story I saw from Russ was that he noticed Norm working on his shop and that he didn't have as much scrap waste as anyone else who was working on projects which really caught his attention. Norm was really an attention to detail kind of person
Wow does norm have a nice house, he deserve every inch of it that's a lot of efforts
Growing up in my teens, I would rush home after college (studying Carpentry and Joinery) to watch his show (New Yankee Workshop) here in the UK.. as well as This old house with Steve and Norm. He had such a great workmanship and produce some quality pieces.
Thank you so much for this interview / conversation with Norm. It's good to see him again, and in great condition. I miss the New Yankee Workshop and This Old House with Norm and Steve as hosts.
I grew up watching Norm and admiring his skills. Glad he's doing well and enjoying life !! He'll be teaching others on boat building soon...lol
Norm Abram was a huge influence on my life. When I was a kid I couldn't wait to see new Yankee workshop and this old house every saturday. I idolized this man and he was the reason I got into woodworking and eventually opened my own high end furniture business. Opened it in a bad area in upstate New York and it flopped eventually. But I enjoyed every minute of it and miss my shop and tools immensely. Thank you for doing this interview I miss seeing Norm on tv.
Before we get started, I'd like to take a minute to talk about shop safety. Be sure to read, understand, and follow all of 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.
“ and there is no greater rule, than to wear these, safety glasses “.
Fan Since TOH, 1979.
I used to record all of his new Yankee workshop shows . I learned a lot from that guy. It was great to see him again.
I’m by no means a great craftsman but Norm made me realize with care and safety glasses there’s not much I can do. Thanks Norm!
Does anyone else hope there is a TH-cam boat building show by Norm?
There is! Lou Sauzedde and his Tips from a Shipwright channel. www.youtube.com/@TipsfromaShipwrightvideos
So glad to see he’s still around. Watched all his programs on Sky tv. Awesone man. 🇬🇧
I’m 19 years old and I live on the Big Island in Hawaii. I remember watching this old house at the age of 8. Then when Covid hit I started to watch it even more and then started to watch the new Yankee workshop. Mr abram you have inspired me to become a contractor. I am now learning in my second year and I absolutely love it. Thank you for inspiring me and I could’ve never asked for a better mentor than you. I hope I get to meet you one day and be able to say I met you and say thank you for all that you have done for me and people all across the world. 🤙🏽
As I get older, it"s so encouraging to see young people like yourself get into things like this. I hope you go far! Part of me still feels 19, even though it was nearly 40 years ago!
Loved the update on Norm.
Hey I just thought I would drop in and post a line.....or maybe two. I just discovered your show and wanted to let you guys know that I really enjoyed the format ( including the lawn chair ) and your sense of humor. Back in the mid 1990's Norm was personally responsible for cultivating my interest in woodworking and furniture design. It was great seeing him again and knowing he is doing well. Such a genuine person and nice guy. I think it probably goes without saying that he built one hell of a pottery workstation for his wife.
Hey thanks so much! Really appreciate that. Norm was just so pleasant and fun, and my idol since I was 15!
What an absolute delight this interview was. It's great to see Norm looking happy, healthy, and relaxed. I hope we get to see his boat someday.
the first 9 minutes of this video is worthless. Past that, its pure gold :) I got into woodworking in part because of Norm. Eternally grateful.
Yeah, I skipped all that!
Great interview! Love Norm. I grew up watching every one of his shows. He had a huge impact on me and my woodworking passion.
This was awesome! Gotta love Norm!
Great conversation with Norm. I'm a DIYer but not a woodworker, still I would enjoy watching New Yankee Workshop every time it was on. It was so relaxing. Like a brain massage. I'm going to miss him on TOH.
I used to watch Norm on This Old House and The New Yankee Workshop with my dad growing up.
Same here. My father was a carpenter/woodworker for over 20 years and I inherited his tools. I have memories of watching TOH with Steve Thomas as the host.
Loved this! Norm is such a great guy and a wonderful TEACHER.
The Icon that got me into Woodworking over 25 years ago. Great episode!
My life long dream is to meet and shake Norms hand. Surely just a dream. Thank you Norm for inspiring my hands on creativity. Much love brother
Yeah...this guy is a true gem! Great interview, very funny!
I watched his show all the time and was always absolutely furious on how easy he made it look! Cheers to you Norm from Orange County, CA - USA! God bless you Norm!
Excellent interview, thanks for doing this. Wouldn't it be cool if Norm built his boat on a TH-cam channel.
I have watched Norm since day one. Outstanding gentleman with incredible skills. Quality carpentry that embraces my interests. So glad to see him again.
Thank you Brian. You have a wonderfully genuine way with people and we so appreciate this interview with Norm. We would love to see you replace any of the current interview hosts on national television! We will share and subscribe!
Great interview. Nice to hear he is well and is considering building a boat 👍
Does everyone know what time it is?
TOOL TIME!
That's right! Binford Tools is proud to present Tim "The Tool Man" Taylor!
Great interview. He’s different than I thought he would be.
When I bought my 1st house I budgeted and planed for a wood shop in my garage because of Norm and the New Yankee Workshop. Thanks Norm!
Looks like a once in a lifetime interview with Norm, i grew up watching it once awhile on PBS television. Im 47 now i was in middle school back then in the 7th grade when it started that year 1989. Thanks for sharing this. Norm Abrams is a wood craftsman legend.
This one was worth the wait. Enjoyed it.
Props for the Liftmaster jackshaft garage door opener.
Bob and Norm inspired a generation with This Old House.
Man, I enjoyed this with Norm!
Imagine being able to just sit and talk with Norm? A fascinating man with many stories, I'd wager
I remember when I worked at a local NPR radio station and we did a 30 minute interview show with Bob Vila and Norm Abram back in the day when they were visiting town to promote "This Old House" for our local PBS station. Norm was great and such a nice and humble person. Contrast Norm with Bob Vila, who was a total diva and not at all friendly.
Norm seems very down to earth and humble… very cool 👌 🌜🌞🌛
Thank you Norn! I loved all those shows and they had a big impact on my woodworking growing up. I looked forward to the snowy winter mornings here in Wisconsin to watch and catch up on all your shows. I wish you were back on the "air" sharing your skills again...
We need more people like Norm that just want to share their knowledge and expertise with the world! no matter how modern the world gets, things are going to break or fail over time and need to be repaired or replaced. Only talented people can do these things. the more you teach the more have talent to keep the infrastructure thriving!
Great job Brian!! Keep the videos coming.
Norm is one of my heroes. Such a quiet, competent guy.
I am a new viewer of NYW on TH-cam which I greatly enjoy. Thank you Norm and the team.
This format reminds me of an Seinfeld episode. Kramer bought an old Mike Douglas talk show set and I laughed so hard.
my week was make it to saturday morning in the 80 and 90s to watch norm fyi i have the highboy dresser plans i bought when i was20 now 48 got my wood shop ready for it been storing lumber for 15 yrs going to be so sweet to disappear to build a dream
I love the whole David Letterman feel to the entire show.
I hope Norm documents his boat build on TH-cam or public TV.
Love Norm. And that house, wow its beautiful
What a wonderful man
Norm Abram inspired my workshop it is nothing like his shop but my grandfather and norm inspired my love for building with Wood .
We Love you Norm. Thanks
Norm inspired me to become a hobbyist woodworker. I coveted every powered tool he owned.
Nice to see the Curved Corner Cupboard and Chimney Cupboard made on the New Yankee Workshop in the background!
WITH PECKY CYPRESS?
INCREDIBLE 😲
Keep going!! Love Norm!! Tell these celebs somebody gave them a break!!
What an honor to interview Norm Abram, but to also be able to interview him at his own home that he built is a spectacular honor!
Great current interview from a year ago. That spectacular home is at 451 Puncatest Neck Rd in Tiverton, RI and is quite the estate! But the tax assessor has it owned by a Jeff Gruirrier Trust out of New Hampshire - Norm's name is nowhere to be found on it. Scratching my head on that one although if Norm is indeed the owner, he certainly deserves it and the water view!
Happy and humble.
Great interview!!!!!!!!!!!!! I watched all the New Yankee and built many pieces. Hardest was the 3 legged cricket table. God speed NORM!
Loved it! Thank you!
What an awesome, fun interview!
I would like to see one more season even if he fully decides to retire from it after that. Just one more Norm!
Thank you for this.
I love Norm and was so sad when New Yankee ended.
LOL, Great Video! I grew up watching Norm.
Nice interview Brian.
Who doesn’t love this guy?
Fantastic!
Norm is everyone's first or second most favorite Jewish carpenter.
My favorite AMERICAN wood worker craftsman! The only thing I can think of that he has not done is win in a Barbershop quartet contest!! If woodworking were an Olympic event, he would have at least 10 golds! I have heroes, like Abe Lincoln, Michael Jordan, and Norm Abrams!!
