Hearthside Settle | S2 E5

- Опубліковано 23 сер 2024
- Norm travels to the Massachusetts harbor of Gloucester to look at a high-backed, curved hearthside settle at Beauport, the home of tarry 20th-century interior decorator and antiquarian Henry Sleeper. The house is now a museum run by the Society for the Preservation of New England Antiquities. Norm's version of this pine piece closes in the area beneath the seat to create a storage space and adds an access hatch in the seat. Norm shows how to cut the settle's curved cross-members and shaped side pieces, how to join the back boards with tongue-and-groove joints, and how to bend the back base board along the bottom of the frame.

An interesting fact I never caught when originally watching this series is how Norm uses different tools to accomplish things you'd expect him to use his specific tools for. I just realized Norm does this to show the amateur woodworkers watching, who may not have all of the tools he has, how to get similar results with the tools they may have.
I wish I had been interested in woodworking back when these were aired, but I am sure enjoying them now. Easy to see why Norm is so revered.
I'm reminded of the scene from "Julia" where an enthusiastic couple engage her, and her husband says "Oh, we don't cook".
Russ knew a winner then, and consequently he knew Norm's calm wit, wisdom and skill would reach far beyond the wonderful carpenters and hobbyists to claim new fans, and new hobbyists. It also inspired new carpenters.
This new UA-cam channel is proof of their wisdom and generosity,
all of your fans, skilled and enthusiastic are grateful.
I think it to be very timely, we need tradespeople and you are important as an example of the grace and skill of the artisan.
Thank you.
It is so good to see these shows again! Thank you for uploading them, the quality is great! I remember watching these with my Dad and Grandpa. Very good memories.
Stationary and hand held power tools continue to be upgraded in the New Yankee Work Shop Season 2. The evolution and newer power tool techniques are fun to watch - again - Delta drill press and Stanley air tools now in Episode 5. No more hammering brads or finish nails going forward. Biscuits have now entered the shop. So great to see these episodes again. New learnings and reminders of wood working in the 90s. Thank you Norm and all for these memories and inspirational projects! I am headed out to the shop to make some more sawdust and kindling wood.
Thank you Russ and Norm for letting these gems go out into the wind.
Norm is a great teacher !! He is so organized , a great Craftsman , and works with a common-sense solution !!
Love his Videos !!
It’s as if I’ve dipped myself in magic waters. The memories so thick I have to brush them away from my face.
Norm Abram, the OG UA-camr 😂
Heh-heh, "butt joint."
Watching these reminds me of watching them with my father in Saturdays or Sundays when growing up. Charming experience.
I used to watch norm every Saturday morning. He is the reason for quit woodworking for 20 years. Everything he made was hard and perfect and I couldn't do that. It was really depressing. I got back into woodworking now I make easy stuff that looks good.
I like how the modern youtube woodworkers actually show how they mess up and work through errors and mistakes and things they didn't plan for in the designs, it does help with the "I could do that too" mindset.
Norm actually messed up on this project. If you have the companion book you can see it in the still pictures. When he laid out the biscuits in the seat glue up he didn't consider the radius cut and the biscuits were actually in the line of the cut, showing on the finished piece when done. Everybody makes mistakes, they just dont make it to TV.
I remember the Vermont American ads in the beginning. I have several tools from them. The company is now no more.
That upper cleat would get on my nerves because I'd bang my head on it.
I dont understand how he cut the bead on the table saw. What kind of blade does that?
Found a video with the bead-cutter here: ua-cam.com/video/Zk7qVrdnumY/v-deo.html
👍
who makes that pivoting biscuit joiner? it is not like the push ones you commonly see today
That's the original Elu biscuit joiner/spliner model 3380. Highly regarded but it obviously didn't catch on. You can find them on sale often, but not cheaply.
@@timothynitz8118 Awesome, thank you!
Just wondering why in Series 1 Norm uses a dual-blade adjustable dado cutter but in series 2 he is using the single-blade adjustable dado which gives inferior results. Note at 12:05 the base of the dado is slightly curved; something that didn't happen with the dual-blade dado cutter.
I've noticed that they planned out these episodes in a way that shows off using a lot of different tools even when you could do a lot of them on the same tool. Most likely so it's not "here's how a pro could do it in a well-equipped shop repeatedly" but so home woodworkers with one or two of the bigger tools can see examples for their gear on how to get things done.
But yeah, Wobble blades vanished and were fully replaced by dado stacks for a good reason.
How did he make the bead detail with the table saw?
Looks like they skipped over that, but he mounted a table saw bead cutter. Basically a blade that has three or four bead cutting heads on it.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
What blade was Norm using to put the bead on the boards at 20:25 ?
It's a shaper that he puts into the table saw. There are 3 such semi circles. He covers 2 of them with the sacrificial wood that he attaches to the fence. There are prior episodes where he uses them and explains the setup.
Hope we can see more episodes with the original funding
