  • In this program, Norm demonstrates how easy it can be to panel a wall. Norm begins by showing some wonderful examples of wall paneling techniques in a home restored several years ago by This Old House. At one end of the spectrum, Norm shows how simple molding applied to a plain wall can create a paneled effect. Then, he moves back to the Workshop to show classic bead board paneling, raised panel systems and, finally, elegant mahogany paneling using veneer hardwood plywood and solid custom moldings and trim.

      That was part of the problem. Unlike the detailed videos one can find today these older vids left out tons of information and tricks of the trade that got many a diy guy in over his head. They were more entertainment than instruction but that was ok because they inspired a lot of people to aspire to a high level quality even if it meant hiring a pro to get you out of trouble.

    I watched this show and "This old house" together with my father every weekend when I was a kid. We never missed it.
    Funny to think that you could run down to the local lumber yard back then and grab some solid mahogany molding without thinking too much about it. Where I live, that single piece of crown molding would at least 100 bucks.

    Awesome. I still watch all these on PBS or whichever home network they come on. It's amazing how much can be done with plywood/mdf and/or 'throwaway' wood when going to paint and the veneered plywood for the real wood. Saves a lot of money compared to the 100% woods. Though anymore, even these plywoods are ridiculously expensive. At Menard's, our big-box in our area, a 4x8x1/4 sheet of red oak veneer is over $40 and a 3/4 sheet is over $90. Again, cheaper than going 100% wood; but just obscene the cost for plywood with a tiny covering of not even the better white oak, the red. So when wanting white oak around our house, I have to bleach everything first, which adds to the work and time involved. There's a reason why more homes don't have these extra features these days

    My favorite part of this show is the stained wall paneling. I just completed a stained wall panel using birch ply panels stapled face down on a giant face frame of poplar. But I stained and then finished (with satin urethane) all my parts with several coats before I assembled them. Naturally, laying all the parts flat allowed for the finish to level sufficiently, especially after sanding between coats. Norm, I can't imagine finishing a vertical wall such as yours without creating unsightly blotches of stain and finish in corners and lots of runs. Please enlighten me on your method. If Norm isn't available, anyone else?

      @ Not most likely. It was a professional national TV show. They had propmasters and builders. I doubt Norm even did all his own sanding except when shown. It’s a waste of time for someone you’re paying hundreds of thousands of dollars. He was working on show details and blocking.

That was for the assistant who makes cameos as "the helpful neighbour" throughout the show. Mind you this was a show on public television, so the budget wasn't unlimited and Norm wasn't getting hundreds of thousands of dollars. Norm even build the workshop itself.
