Gazebo Part 1 | S7 E10

Norm begins work on one of the most ambitious projects ever attempted at The New Yankee Workshop. Brilliantly conceived and executed, Norm's intimate octagonal, screened gazebo reflects several popular Victorian styles and features a cedar deck, clever, collar-tied rafters, and an unusual tapered, cedar-shingled roof, the project's most challenging element. Norm offers useful tips on how to build screens as he creates the screen door and panels for his gazebo. The final decorative touches are applied as the Victorian latticework is assembled and mounted and the copper finial takes its place atop this storybook garden pavilion.

I loved this show. Norm was the one who inspired me to take up woodworking as a hobby. I'm so glad these are on UA-cam now!!!

[@TimBielawa]

Just look at him go. Shingleing away at the New Yankee Workshop.
I’m so glad these are on youtube. I got so worried when the TOH license ran out!

[@1mtk]

Norm for woodworking and Bob for painting. Childhood inspirations.

[@edwill62]

Glad to be able to see these again. Norm was always so informative and his tutorials were second to none.
Thank you for bringing The NY workshop back to us

[@mikec6892]

Norm is a wood working god

[@george8873]

Thanks for uploading this build. It's one of my favorite New Yankee Workshop builds.

[@tommyv8559]

Norm was the best to watch everything he did was with such precision im glad i learned from a person like Norm

[@bertblankenstein3738]

Thank you for bringing these back. I remember from the days way back: "Brought to you by Delta. And Porter Cable."

[@itsjackcohen]

One of my favorites.

[@billl7679]

I remember watching this on Sunday mornings on PBS with my son, who was very young at the time. We learned lots and today the memories and skills are still there.

[@vicchiapetta4166]

Beautiful workmanship as always!!!

[@tree_carcass_mangler]

Thanks for posting! Looking forward to part 2. Thumbs up!

[@danf4616]

Wow...that cedar shingling process... I barely have enough patience to nail gun down junky asphalt shingles. 😁

[@keithrayeski6417]

You’re a master Norm!! No one can argue otherwise!!

[@TierodMcslush]

Legend has it, norm is still shingling that Gazebo

[@batarang87]

I'm really hoping the missing Ladderback Chair episode from Season 4 has been found

[@swannyburger5866]

The wood working god.

[@ryanhurst1491]

Thanks for posting , hope you load the new work shop build you did, it was so amazing to watch

[@natedish1]

24 minutes of pure insanity! “ hey honey, sorry I can’t go to the beach this summer, I’ll be spending my next 12 weekends block planing red cedar shingles on 8 hips on the new gazebo roof in the woods behind the house”

[@reforzar]

Ripping on the radial arm saw.

[@33Duce]

Love these videos!

[@areareare9953]

19:43 I like how he just cashz leaped up the side of that tree one handed. He probably carried that power saw out there like the rest of us carry a briefcase, too. His hands *were* the clamps.

[@mcarroll598]

The GOAT!

[@sirmartinez5276]

Respect!

[@thebloodyserb]

I wonder if this is broadcast quality, or more like the VHS tapes they sold? In 1995 I would have been watching this on a 13" CRT, so it would have looked crystal clear even if they shot it on a potato.

[@jimwiskus8862]

Hmmm, does Norm make house calls? 😂

[@wrav47]

i built about six adirondack chairs after watching Norm build one on one of the episodes..

[@emiliorobles4024]

Buen trabajo

[@kingsavo]

Am I the only one that every time Norm visits the Concord Museum, thinks of the start of a certain video game?

[@feinschmegga]

Thanks for uploading these - what's your source material? Just wondering if you could upload a remastered version of the episodes in higher resolution

[@BillMulholland1]

👍

[@tonybaggett1984]

This is what you call super advance Trigonometry. There are people with PHDs in mathematics that couldn’t figure out what he’s doing.

[@charlesa3374]

No poured footings? What am I missing?

[@areareare9953]

Probably not permanent. His pieces had a tendency to wander off.

[@charlesa3374]

@@areareare9953 Good points!

[@paulstenius8503]

geeze, those are some complicated pieces you are cutting. If I made this, I'd get someone else to make the posts instead of trying to do them by hand without a fancy radial arm saw.

[@mak4374]

Uhm...why doesn't he use battery powered tools?!?
🤣 Sorry, couldn't help it...

[@george8873]

I was watching the Sandbox build and was chuckling how far power tool technology has come since the late 80s and early 90s, lol.

[@user-bu1fk3bu2w]

pbs

[@stevenwarner7348]

I hope that Norm is compensated for this "official You Tube site. ~~~ Just saying. 😠

[@ryanneumann5165]

The channel has a video message from Russ Morash. It’s totally official.
