Based upon this episode, i built a similar version of this mirror for my sister, shortly after this episode originally aired. Thanks Norm, for the inspiration.
Excellent example of how Norm's skills improved as a furniture maker over time. My bet if he made that piece today there would be no poly as the final coats.
There are projects where he used milk paint, oil, wax with no poly. He had also stated finishing was his least favourite thing to do. I recommend the Bob Flexnor finishing book.
Amazing how he walks in and the camera guy is already there. Hey. Before we use any power tools let’s take a moment to talk about shop safety. Be sure to read follow and understand all the directions that come with your power tools, knowing how to properly use your power tools will greatly reduce the risk of personal injury and don’t forget the most important safety thing at all these safety squints. I mean spectacles.
When filming, did you have to use a special mirror? I remember watching a Dukes of Hazzard episode with commentary on, and they said when filming for TV, they needed a special type of mirror that was designed for on-camera use.
He’s certainly an excellent craftsman but a top workshop with brilliant dust management, at least £100,000 worth of the best kit you can buy and the best beautiful woods available, certainly helps.
I would come home from school back in the 90’s and would be glued to this show
These episodes bring back so many good memories at my Grandparents house.

Яка у вас чудова майстерня!Ви судовий майстер!
Welcome to the fabulous world of woodworking, you guys! This is gonna a great season for us to enjoy in October, and so on!
What a handsome, yet practical item!
Do you mean Norm or the Mirror 😆
That is gorgeous. I hope Norm still has it in his home.
While working at deputy sheriff back in 90s i used to love watching TNY workshop before i went to work
it sure is wonderful to have all these videos to fall back on ,, for the rest of forever !
Well, until, atleast UA-cam disappears.

@@mrpiccolo23 That book is a bible for wood finishing, and very up to date! Worth the money for every woodworker.
This is really a nice piece with the quarter-sawn oak. Looks so sharp. Thanks Norm!
That would be perfect for my mud room.
Absolutely beautiful wood/stain combo.
Norm!
Beautiful!
Quaaaaaawwwtersawn I loved this so soooo much. What a gem. Norm is the best. I wondered why they didn’t just put him on the brawny towels haha

Interesting take on mirrors. If you buy an overstock with crap frame you can get the glass way cheaper
He went to an antique store and asked if they had anything new 😂
I'm wondering if one can still buy New Yankee workshop plans
Of course. We have links in the description under each video, and you can always visit our website:

LOL

It's just the angle they film at in this circumstance.

Given the weight of the piece, along with coats, hats, etc - how was this attached to the wall?
Good question. Screwed into the studs with plugs? What do you think could be done to hang it?
@@mrpiccolo23 I created this same mirror and used French cleats. Has no problem holding the weight of the mirror.
@@Doug-TxWW Makes sense; this mirror seems no match for a french cleat.
2 new tools! New Drill Press and a different band saw with a START/STOP bandsaw!
