I used to love the trifecta when i was a kid, watching this old house, new yankee workshop, and hometime
I watched him as a kid and still am watching him!!
Ahhhhhhh the old Delta stationary and hand Porter Cable power tools circa late 1990s/early 2000s BEFORE these brands were sold out. NOTHING was better than green/grey and gray back then. I bought most of my powered woodworking shop based on Norm's tool selections at the time. ALL of my 1990s power tools are still working and used in 2023. My grandfather always said buy the best tool you can and take care of it - it will last a life time. These older Delta and Porter Cable tools are a testimony to quality made. Unfortunately, not any more after these brands were bought out. Thanks Norm and crew for the memories and putting these videos on YouTube for us to remember and a new generation to learn from and enjoy!
Many thanks for remastering these episodes and providing on YouTube. Norm had a huge impact on my enjoyment of woodworking as a hobby.
Can we talk for a minute about how excellent the camera work was on this show? Targeted close shots on exactly what you need to see. Everything in focus. Incredibly well done work.
Been watching you for years. When my son , who's going to be 43 this year.was just a little fella we would watch you together. Somehow he to calling you uncle Norm. When it was time to watch your show he would come running saying "uncle Norms coming on pop ,hurry. Thanks for all the fun projects. God Bless you all 😊.
This show, TOH, ATOH and Hometime were how I spent my Saturday afternoons for years.
I’ve used these cabinets in my garage workshop everyday for the last 25 years — still going strong and I think of Norm every time I use them!
I miss this show. Norm was a craftsman and a gentle soul. He would make it seem like anyone could do it and really you can if you try and have some tools. Today we have so many more new things to make jobs easier. Thanks for letting these go up on YouTube. Takes us back to a better time then the crazy world of today.
This man made me fall in love with woodworking. He is the patron saint of woodworking!!!
Norm would fill my Saturday mornings for what seems like decades. Can't say I reached his craftsmanship, but he inspires me to give any project my best, and to go that extra step to perfection. Thanks Norm, love you!
If Norm starts a new show im watching.
Grew up watching this with my dad.
I grew up.with my dad watching NYW on PBS every weekend, and i came to love New England icon Nahm Abram. He is to woodworking what Julia Child is to food, truly.
About 20 yrs ago, I once didn't use safety glasses, used a circular saw, and a splinter ended up scratching the cornea of my eye. I was basically bed ridden for 3 days, then I healed up completely. I should've listened to Norm.
This guy was my hero. His show came on every Sunday morning and it was must watch TV. Before the internet, we were all slaves to the TV schedule. He inspired me to attempt some great projects.
Every weekend as a kid, breakfast, this old house, and new Yankee workshop
The two most asked about episodes ever! I still have my VHS version recorded off of Iowa PBS from the first airing! Norm is awesome!
Love this! The New Yankee workshop, This Old House, and Bob Ross The Joy of Painting. That was my Saturday back in the day. Great!!!!
