Clad in panels of beautiful reclaimed heart pine, this one features a butcher block top, a drawer mounted microwave, a storage area for large objects, tray storage and a carefully engineered pull out drawer for trash or recyclables. This beautiful and highly functional centerpiece, with two massive turned legs also done in old pine, is no mere cabinet - it's a place where old values and new realities fit very well indeed. http://www.rmpbs.org/content/index.cfm/program/47-2007/rss http://www.rmpbs.org/content/index.cfm/program/47-2007/rss Fri, 20 Nov 09 02:30:00 -0700 On a sojourn to Nantucket, Norm is invited to view a local antique dealer's private collection of children's toys and whimsical whirligigs. Inspired by their endearing humor, Norm decides to build his own mechanized version of The "New Yankee Workshop"'s logo, featuring Norm, himself, working at the table saw. http://www.rmpbs.org/content/index.cfm/program/47-2123/rss http://www.rmpbs.org/content/index.cfm/program/47-2123/rss Sat, 21 Nov 09 16:00:00 -0700 The small wet bar is a distinct change of pace from the other elements in the dream kitchen. While it has a place near the other units, it is separated from them, allowing Norm to change materials from painted wood surfaces to natural cherry. It's a niche in a related yet distinct style that features a small metal sink, natural cherry paneled walls, a cherry countertop, a wine cooler and plenty of mirrored surfaces, glass shelves and concealed lights to add elegance to the space. Most impressive are the twin glass paneled divided light doors Norm builds from scratch. http://www.rmpbs.org/content/index.cfm/program/47-2008/rss http://www.rmpbs.org/content/index.cfm/program/47-2008/rss Tue, 24 Nov 09 08:30:00 -0700 The small wet bar is a distinct change of pace from the other elements in the dream kitchen.

Norm teams up with his painter as he sprays on two smooth undercoats followed by a brushed on finish coat that looks great and should wear well. Then Norm begins the process of installing his cabinets. He carefully surveys the existing space, analyzes the conditions, creates a level reference line and sets the cabinets to floor and wall. Sharing all the tips and techniques learned over many years, Norm puts the cabinets together with the precision and accuracy viewers have come to expect from this master craftsman. Then, with every appliance installed, every surface polished and prepped, the lights hung, the floor polished and the stone counters revealed, Norm is able to stand back and enjoy the satisfaction of having created a masterpiece. The dream kitchen is finished and open for business. http://www.rmpbs.org/content/index.cfm/program/47-2009/rss http://www.rmpbs.org/content/index.cfm/program/47-2009/rss Tue, 01 Dec 09 08:30:00 -0700 Often the weak link in home shop built kitchens is a professional finish that looks good and stands up to wear and tear.

It became one of his most popular projects. Later, Norm added an Adirondack love seat to his collection, using improved methods and materials. Now, in celebration of the 20th anniversary, Norm builds a chair, a table and a footrest to complete the set. To add to the fun, he invites a friend to build one of these classic chairs alongside the master. http://www.rmpbs.org/content/index.cfm/program/47-2010/rss http://www.rmpbs.org/content/index.cfm/program/47-2010/rss Tue, 08 Dec 09 08:30:00 -0700
