You and the Woodwright’s Shop were my favorites growing up. Im happy I can watch New Yankee Workshop again thank you Norm!
Thank You New Yankee Work Shop staff for bringing the episodes to TH-cam! I look forward to being able to watch these with my sons for inspiring a new generation of woodworkers.
You're welcome. We need to keep the woodworking tradition alive.
Absolutely agree 100%
Amen
Norm is such a legend. Who else can make sanding off excess bung sound cooler than Sinatra.
My father and I used to watch your show when I was akid. My dad still has an autograph by you adressed to us. He keeps it in his own workshop!
I grew up watching this and The Wood Wright Shop every weekend as a kid
Actually Watched the First Episode !
Learned that Mr. Norm (and my Dad) used a Shop-Smith.
.. as many Shows of this series I've seen - I never caught sight of his Shop-Smith until this one.
...if my dad were only here to see it, too...
Here in the UK Norm inspired me back into woodworking in 1990's. I'm not sure when these were first aired in the UK but this program and This Old House certainly inspired me no end, thanks Norm.
I'm so glad this show has an official TH-cam channel now! I used to watch this show on PBS with my Dad at my Grandparents house when I was a kid along with Bob Ross and Justin Wilson. Those were good times! 😊😊😊😊😊
Its clear from the comments how influential and inspirational Norm and the New Yankee Workshop team were and are.
Uploading these all to TH-cam is a seriously amazing gift to the world (lets not forget how most old content of any kind is still somewhat valuable in terms of broadcast rights) from the team and hopefully it will allow a whole new generation of budding woodworkers to be inspired as well.
Fond memories of watching these on UK tv in the mid 90's as a child.
This is so good! Norm is a national treasure.
Thank you for providing access to Norm’s wisdom
This is invaluable to anyone interested in woodworking or other trades
Underlying theme is safety
Even if your project is different, he is the master on how to be safe
I come from a long line of carpenters and woodworkers. Growing up I remember me and my brothers watching this show with both my grandpa and dad like many others. I loved watching this show and thinking to my self one day I wish I could have my own shop like Norm. My grandpa would build some really amazing furniture like Norm so this show really Brings back some great memories! Now I don't have my own shop but all my brothers have shops and have starting making allot or really cool things. Thank you for bringing Norm to TH-cam! Now my boys love watching this with me like I did with my dad and grandpa.
I used to watch this show with my Dad when I was a kid. This is such a wonderful taste of nostalgia!
Glad you enjoy the show. More episodes to come.
So did I an my brother as well. We both do woodworking to this day
Yup same here, he has passed but this brings back comfortable memories for me
I too watched this with my Dad. The thing is my Dad was mostly into This Old House, and I was more into this. I did watch This Old House as well. Miss the days of great television programs like this
THANK YOU!!!! Seeing these shows again is a reprieve for all the nonsense going on today. I owe my love for woodworking to my brothers and this show.
This brings back so many memories with my Dad either watching the show or building things for the house
O wow! I loved these as a kid!
So great to see you guys on TH-cam - I'm really looking forward to re-watching all those fascinating episodes. Like seeing a long lost friend again 👍
Takes me back to my child hood. Love the use of jigs. Fantastic.
I watched this show on PBS and loved it. The only thing that Norm did not show (and it drove me crazy) was that he never show how to do the setups for dado or dovetail or the table saw setups.
These are timeless. Thank you for sharing this amazing series here!
I'm so thankful that these episodes are being uploaded. Norm is amazingly talented and a great teacher. Brave too . . . I wouldn't cut tenons on a table saw without a jig.
That was in one of the early episodes. Definitely a gutsy move. By season 2, he used a tennoning jig for all of his cheek cuts
What a wonderful surprise to see this is now available in youtube.... Thank you very much
Well now, isn't this a pleasant surprise !! Hi Norm !!! Loved the now antique equipment he was using and how few pieces he had in his shop. Certainly miss seeing you every Saturday back in the day. We all learned so much from you, Sir. Best wishes to you always, Norm.
Wow, this is great. I loved to watch this show growing up with my Dad. Thank you, Norm, for bringing your show to you tube.
whoa! true 1x6!
So, this is all where it began! :)
❤ from 🇨🇦 eh!
OMG A real gift. Merci!
Definitely a yankee without a brim
After like 12 minutes in I realized that I’m my grandpa
Shocked by the price of plywood. Oh boy.
I know, right?! What does Norm think of the price of oak plywood TODAY?
Yeah. Future-Norm has a BAD shock in store!
Be sure to thank a democrat
MY FIRST THOUGHT 😂😂
If he is saying it's pricey then... now it's "I will never financially recover from this" purchase of plywood. 😄😄
@@Mangoshake2021I believe to was the OTHER party that introduced ridiculous tariffs on imports…
Is this for real? The classic episodes of The New Yankee Workshop are being uploaded? Thank you so much for uploading these! You brought back some great memories of watching you with my Dad growing up.
Yes, we are posting straight from the workshop. Glad you enjoy the show and have such fond memories.
These are broadcast masters, it would appear.
The only seasons not posted are 6 to final.
oh gawd, did I just die and go to heaven???? This is amazing! Memories of watching this on Sundays on PBS with my dad. Inspired me and still does to build anything my small mind can imagine. No sleep for me I guess!!!!! Cheers Norm and thank-you!
If only they could broadcast "Crockett's Victory Garden" episodes. I had the book long ago. Would be like starting my life over again!
Agree - Never saw many either as it didn't run in New Mexico when I was there. Have the books however.
Norm and The New Yankee Workshop, made me the man I am today. Ive been a tradesman for nearly 3 decades now, and mighty proud of it. In fact, I am in the process of putting the final touches on the woodshop ive been dreaming about since the 90s! Some kids were simply made to work with their hands, and shows like this gave us an outlet and much needed knowledge. Thank you for the impact you've made on myself, and many others
Same here…along with Bob Villa and Roy Underhill…it was a Sunday ritual for my father and me. I ended up an electrician (now Pipeline technician) with a lifelong love of woodworking!
@Isaac H exactly! Even hometime was on my list of sunday favorites. Although, NYW was the main reason for tuning in. I remember growing watching as a kid, thinking, how does he have so many tools! Fast forward 30yrs, and i find myself with every stationary and handheld tool he had in the NYW. Couldn't imagine how different my life would be if I hadn't have had those Trade-shows to watch
@Isaac H are there actual shows or episodes that actually show Bob Villa doing true craftsman work? I was always under the impression he was kind of a fake or at least nothing more than a host. I'd like to see his work:) Anyways much respect for Norm I wish I had someone like him for a teacher when I was younger, or even now ha ha
@@robburkhard9256 Bob Villa was just a host (before he became an infomercial shill)…but he was the host that helped explain what the tradesmen were doing. And if I said Tommy…most people wouldn’t know the TOH reference.
@Rob Burkhard bob was discovered because of a magazine article where he "remodeled" his own home. He was just the general contractor. Norm was the actual craftsman of the show
Cannot tell you all how made up I am that Norm and the New Yankee Workshop are finally available on you tube. this series ignited my passion for woodwork back in the late nineties on sky’s home and leisure channel in the UK. Norm has been my woodworking mentor with fantastic easy to follow instructions. Even to this day every time I go to turn on a power tool I can hear Norm saying in my head…”There are no more important thing than these, Safety glasses”
Thank you for sharing these you have made a middle aged man very happy 😊
Ah! Always watched this every Saturday, when I was growing up. This Old House, too. 😁
Same here. My Dad really enjoyed This Old House when Bob Vila was on it. He would watch New Yankee Workshop from time to time, but this was my favorite show. I also liked This Old House as well
World Heritage! Thank you for making it available for everybody 👍😘
What Episode Does Norm Begin His Traditional "Shop Safety" Speech?
Oh awesome, how cool to get these all in one channel, well done guys 👍
Thanks for stopping by. Glad you enjoy the show.
I was 28 when the first episode aired. All I had was a Triton work center Mk 3 and a circular saw. I watched every episode I could. I started taping the show in the late 90's before having TiVo grab as many as it could. The TiVo episodes are burned to DVD and sitting on the shelf as I type. Now that they are on an official TH-cam channel, I can fill in the gaps.
I found my newest bingeworthy channel!
Anyone else here starting from the beginning because they got time to kill?
Not a nail gun or cordless tool in sight. 👍😁

A big thank you to whoever brought TNYW to TH-cam. What a gift. It’s an invaluable resource to new and aspiring woodworkers like myself. Even experienced woodworkers can learn something from Norm.
My 87 year old dad was a fine furniture builder for 60 years. He now has dementia and can’t remember much of anything anymore. I’m now 55 and finally decided to take up the hobby, something I wished I would have done decades ago. I could have learned so much from my dad. Shame on me for missed opportunities.
The next best thing to learning from my dad is learning from Norm Abram. Having access to episodes of TNYW is a godsend. Sure, tools and technology have changed a lot since then, but so much of it is still relevant today.
Thank you, Norm Abram, for all you have done, and for sharing your knowledge and expertise.
Enjoy the channel!
@@newyankeeworkshop I absolutely am! Thank you for the response. 👍🏻
Agreed! It's great to have this show on here now! I never saw season 1 when it first aired because I didn't have a PBS station at the time to see it with.
Look how clean and simple the shop was for the first season and the rudimentary residential cabinet making skills and techniques. Norm was a residential carpenter when he started and an accomplished cabinet and furniture maker when it ended. 😎
This was my favourite show as a kid during the 90s, always found Norm such a relaxing presence. Also managed to get myself sent home ('sick') from school so I could watch it. Thank you for uploading these, and always remember your safety glasses!
Bit close with that thumb @13:06!
It must be from the first season judging by the tools. Not that there is anything wrong with them.Craftsman radial arm saw, contractor table saw and Shopsmith.
First season? It was also the first project!
I never noticed Norm's accent till now. Getting to rewatch these early episodes again is great. I haven't seen these since I was a kid.
I miss this show
So many memories...... Was not aloud to watch much tv when I would visit my grandparents every summer.... PBS was the only channel my siblings and I were aloud to watch due to religious reasons... but when the weekends came I always looked forward to what was gonna be made next.... Thanks to this show I have been a huge fan of Amish Style furniture and fixtures..... and gave me the know how to make my own things.... have not bought any furniture from a store in 30 years....... sure, supplies have gone up of course, being 30+ years since this episode premiered. But it has always been quality instead of all this IKEA particle board crap.
Net 25 brought THIS program to the Philippines back in 2001.
I grew uop watchign these. Loved them, and still do.
Thank you or uploading.
This show is how and why I started woodworking when I was a youngster. I continue on to this day. I never dreamed back then that I would someday record my own projects on TH-cam. Similar to what Norm did on PBS. 👍😃👊
The early seasons have a lot of unsafe practices in them. Never cut cheeks as shown, and if you do, cut the shoulders afterwards. If you want to cut them on your TS, use a tenon making jig, Delta has/had one, or you can easily make one - the Franz Klausz one is also great. These early seasons are just packed with unsafe ideas.
You can safely cut the tenons, on a BS, and remove the ripple on a router table, or with hand place, or hand router plane.
Of course you can do them all by hand, and it isn't all that difficult.
Thank you so much for uploading these episodes as they are not the easiest to find in the UK. It's so refreshing to see jobs done properly and not as part of a rushed , reality tv job that's bodged and will only last 5 minutes. Watching Norm again brings a little tear to my eye. I'd love to see some of the old "This Old House" too.
a version of this cabinet was my very first wood working project. I didnt do a mirror but a soild wood door. I also made it out of oak but from pallet wood. it's a great project for that kind of wood.
Great programme, and use to watch this, but as a traditional carpenter and Joiner, it frustrated me how nothing was ever cut by hand. Half lap and dove tails are not the hardest joints to be done by hand.
finally, been waiting for this. already subscribed
Thank you, I grew up with my dad watching these shows along with TOG and it was the foundation of the woodwork I have done for the last 30 years!
I know Norm is a master carpenter, but watching him cut the tenons on the table saw with out a tenoning jig gave the chills.
Season 1, they didn't have any money yet for fancy jigs 😀
Oh wow, the smile on my face right now will not go away. This brings back so many memories!!!
007 shaken not stirred. Norm stirred not shaken 24:38
NORM IS A LEGEND 😊
Always loved the show, but wow, that tenon cut. 😬
Watching Norm is what got me started in wood working 23 years ago. I really enjoy watching these old episodes.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Is this the actual New Yankee Workshop staff?........
Of course. Check out Norm and Russ discussing the show:

van neistat sent me here
Such wonderful memories 👍
5:00 yeah... I'd like to see this done with the blade guard 🙂
Not sure why the dowels were necessary on the tenon joints. Glue surface area alone would be enough to keep them square.
Perhaps because it was supposed to go in a room with a shower and wood glues were less advanced back then?
👍

Norm is still the greatest. So much learned and still going back to rewatch all these!
That craftsman table saw had one of the worst fences ever. Thanks for putting these online:-)
Yeah, fun to see the tools he started the show with. And I guess we'll see him upgrade them, as he goes. In this episode, I noticed he didn't have the table saw jig he usually used for making the cheek cuts on tenons. The way he cut them in this video definitely looked sketchy!
I had a project many years ago that I needed to cut a couple tenons for. I started doing it like Norm did in this video and decided I liked having all my fingers. Built a jig, which I still have -- and I still have all my fingers too!
It's not a Craftsman it's a Rockwell/Delta Unisaw, when TNYW started Russ had owned it for more than 20 years.
It’s weird to watch this without the Delta/Porter Cable ads at the beginning and lacking the safety warning (especially these, safety glasses) in the first episode. Great to see these online!
Mr. Norm I'm truly grateful that you posted these episodes i was inspired to go back into woodworking after quite a few years, i even took a refresher course and this time i not turning back i love it, thank u Sir.
From Garvin in Trinidad
NGL, putting the chamber pot on a swivel was extremely clever.
Loved this show. Very relaxing to watch. When Norm was hoping he didn’t have bad luck , I was thinking your luckiest guy to be doing this show. Total master craftsmen.
I'm almost done a cabinetmaking foundations program. I wish I had found this sooner, there's so many good tips and tricks that are still relevant today
This great, thanks for uploading all the videos. Norm just showed a trick I have never seen, making the box joint and cutting both pieces at the same time, works perfect.
You can see how norms techniques changed over the first few season. He seemed much more like very good carpenter then by the end he was a wizard that could build anything with ease.
This released the year I graduated from high school. My Dad introduced me to this show in the '90's after I got out of the Army. This brings back lots of memories! It helps inspire me to combine my blacksmithing skills with some of these projects to see what happens.
I never missed an episode. Watching this show gave me the confidence to build kitchen cabinets over 20 years ago. Thanks for the uploads.
Might we be able to please get the computer desk video uploaded, by chance ? Would love to see that again…..
i was never going to make one of the projects but loved watching the shows, very relaxing and satisfying to see it coming together
Are the plans available for these projects? If so, how are they obtained? I believe the plans to go with these projects would make a great gift.
Wow! I had forgotten that in the early days Norm used a Shopsmith for some of the operations.
Thank you for creating this channel. So many memories of growing up with this show
OMG, can’t believe is on TH-cam! Thank you!
So happy that these are posted! I cannot wait to watch them all again. It is amazing to think about the evolution of the tools and techniques Norm uses as the progression of the show goes along. Are the measured drawings still available?
Bigtime Norm fan...So pleased to see this on youtube!! thank you!
I can't believe I'm now able to watch these shows. They should still be on TV. I love these shows and been a faithful watcher for most of my life.
Thanks for uploading these classics of norm.
So good to see this again and a pleasure to see a true craftsman working without modern plastic jigs.
The "mortise and tenon" joint in the door is actually a bridle joint.
I'm just in awe of just how far The New Yankee Workshop has come.
I learnt how to make stuff watching Norm, love the shows
on your way to a million subs, if there is any karma in the world
