Staff Picks!
Here at the Workshop, we love every episode, but we each have our favorites as well. Watch this space for changes, as we
will be updating our staff picks section often!
Work Table and Clamp Cart - Item #0207
Surely one of the most useful projects Norm’s ever built for the shop is this work table. It’s a light weight, yet sturdy, assembly table that is easily raised up on casters to move around the shop as necessary. The mechanism for the caster assembly was borrowed from a nearby scenic shop where mobility is essential. Also with the table, Norm creates a storage cart for his collection of woodworker’s clamps. When he needs several clamps, he can easily wheel over his collection to make his choice.

What's New at the Workshop...Teak Bar #9905Posted on 05/05/2008We apologize for any inconvenience as our catalog listed the Teak Bar #9905 as discontinued. We assure you that this item has not been discontinued, and is now available again for purchase from our online catalog as a VHS and as a measured drawing. Adirondack TrioPosted on 03/20/2008Why is it, we wonder, that the Adirondack chairs and the variations we've shown over the years seem to be so popular with our viewers? Is it simply that the projects are easy to build, don't require complicated tools, and provide comfort and long life in use. Yeah.
The current favorite called " The Adirondack Trio" is Norm's latest greatest version of the classic he created nearly 20 years ago. It has the same comfortable seat and back held together with improved fasteners and adhesives and even includes a foot rest and small table to complete the "trio". In this episode you'll see Norm teaching our pal Sara Furguson, a novice wood worker herself, how to build one. The results are very rewarding as you will see.
If you've been thinking about building yourself some of these chairs for your backyard or deck any remaining doubts will vanish when you see how easy and how much fun they are to build.

This week on The New Yankee Workshop
Table Saw 101 - Part 1 & 2 - Program #0708
As with his previous programs dedicated to a single tool, Norm takes viewers on a special two-part program that explores the usefulness of the table saw. He begins by showing various table saws and what they can do and goes on to describe and demonstrate adjustments to make them more accurate. In the first program, he concentrates on the most common task a table saw will be asked to do—ripping. Norm discusses how to do it safely and accurately. He demonstrates his technique for cutting large panels and shows a safe way to handle narrow stock. He completes show number one by building an ingenious “out feed” table—so clever every saw owner will want one. In the second part of Table Saw 101, Norm goes on to demonstrate dadoing, setting up stacked dado cutters, the making of rabbets, and the building of a sacrificial fence. Then he turns to evaluating miter gauges and shows how they may be used to make precision miters. He demonstrates the process of making accurate tenons with a factory-built jig. In the same program, he builds a cross cut sled and a stop block that extends any table saw’s potential. Measured drawings are not available for this project.
