I’m 34 and have found memories of watching Norm with my carpenter father. So thankful these episodes are being posted online so my generation can keep fine woodworking alive. Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge, Norm!
Many thanks to Norm and Russ for putting these on UA-cam.
Thank you Mr Morash and thank you Mr Abram for leaving us this gift.
thank you Mr Abram
I love this it reminds me of the days when i first started woodworking with mainly my grandfather's tools including a Craftsman "Electronic" Radial Arm and a "Wobble head" adjustable dado cutter 😊. This is the end of a certain era of home woodworking but I think it's good to start the craft with only the basics so you can master your skills as you build your shop!
They really need to bring back the New Yankee Workshop.
I built one of these from the video (I did not buy the plans) about 30 years ago as a wedding present for family. Still going strong in their dinning room.
Cordred drill and the Radial saw!
SEASON 1 1979 THATS A SHOPSMITH AS DRILL PRESS THEIR STILL IN BUSINESS TODAY I SPENT MANY A WEEKEND ON PBS WATCHING THESE SEVERAL TIMES A DAY NORM INSPIRED ME AS A TEENAGER INTO WOODWORKING THERES NOTHING LIKE CREATING SOMETHING OUT OF STOCK AND U CANT GET THAT WOOD SMELL OUT OF YOUR HEAD...THANKS FOR GETTING ME INTO THIS NORM
Would love to see a video of Norm reacting to some of these old episodes.
Great to see you guys it's time you show learning ideal 💖 that shows
I love early workshop. He’s so unpolished and his tools are so basic compared to later years. The radial arm saw with molding head looked scary. There’s a reason you don’t see that rig anymore. When I was starting out in framing in the eighties his show was must watch tv for me.
Ha! yeah that cutter on radial arm was somethig to behold. I'm sure it was hi-tech common practice back in 1989, but I wouldn't dream of hittin the switch on that rig today. But seriously, Norm is the man though.
I remember watching these - how's he going to build a whole X in 30 minutes? But Norm does it! Love seeing a corded drill for driving screws and making holes. Remember those?
Glad to see someone else who uses drywall screws for "fine" cabinet making 😂😂😂😂, was always told and read in books that they wouldn't hold and break.
Pre-Delta and Pre-Porter Cable. Thank you Norm for Season 1 memories and the early tools that still did all the mastery carpentry including the dry wall screws and yellow carpenters glue (before Titebond III).
I bought the MDO and began making this corner cabinet some 25 years ago only to have my wife tell me she didn't want it.
Since then I sold dad's radial arm saw at a yardsale, per her demands, for garage space. I now have a very small 12 by 20 shop with the ripped down pieces of both 3/4" and 1/2" MDO.
This is why I am still single...
Oh my, that 45 degree dado would not fly in later seasons!
4:51 this is where a Makita track saw would be perfect. (Use rigid foam under the plywood as a base.)
This guy needs a sliding table saw. I gotchya, Norm. Come see me
The days before cordless tools were prominent
Aw man, my grandad had the same hammer, probably from the same place, Sears and Roebuck I would presume (Craftsman). I wish I had it but my dirt bag "family" did away with all of his things after he died and they started leaching off of my granny. It makes me sad.
👍
Pre nail gun, the neanderthal episodes...:)
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Does Norm sell the furniture he makes ?
Not that I know of.
They kept some for reference, but often donated items to local charities. So many locals have something "built by Norm Abram" they won in an auction. They always got top dollar for a worthy cause.
Why must all your cabinets be called a cupboard.
