- 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
@@pauldean7690sad but true. And he’s also not the right other “labels” people identify with.
Amen to that.
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.
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.
I’ve built several of his projects 20 years ago and still have them. I enjoyed every minute making them.
So did I
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 TH-cam. Just wish there were new ones being made
I was always excited to watch the weekly episodes back in the day.
The methods and ideas have been well used.
Thanks!
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 TH-cam brings back many happy times. Thanks Norm
Norm Abram sure makes me want to build an enclosed porch onto a house.
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.
Made a table like this years ago, watched this to get an idea how to add a drawer. Thanks.
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. 👍
I'm really enjoying these videos!! They all bring back so many memories.
Truly a great man and a great woodworker
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.
Knowlegde can change your fate and English can accomplish your future
Such great work.
That heart pine looked so amazing. I just don't know that I'd want to stain it and lose the natural colors.
Thanks for sharing
Can you imagine Norm doing a Tom Fidgeon style hand tool video.
Should made the table with detachable legs. It would make it easy to transport.
@ newyankeeworkshop A channel called Alex Alex has a 161 episodes. Likes this one better. Thank you 👍
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.
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.
Is there more info on the river-wood supplier from Florida anyone can share?
Dave Griffin and Steve Ho and Thomas Chau how is notm abram and Tom Silva and roger and richard we always watch them on tv
Editors Note: His budget will not stretch.
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???????
I think you need a new calculator as you are well off with that figure, even for 1992 tool prices.
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.
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
@@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.
But where's the fun in that?
