The New Yankee Workshop: Season 11 - 13 Episode s

11x1 - Kitchen Island
January 2, 1999
It's a little known secret that when Norm is not in The New Yankee Workshop or on a This Old House job site, he can be found in his own kitchen cooking for friends and family. Viewers who share his interest in the culinary arts were the top of his mind when Norm created this Kitchen Island.
11x2 - Kitchen Pantry
January 9, 1999
Meant to meet the demand for more storage space, Norm's custom designed kitchen pantry promises to be valued even more as a decorative showpiece and as an example of his superb craftsmanship.

January 16, 1999
Norm's kitchen secretary solves the problem of creating a work space in the kitchen that still allows you to keep tabs on the dinner that's cooking on the stove and to take part in family conversation. Built out of mahogany, the ingenuity of its design can be found in its efficient use of space. Hung from the wall, this handsome piece features adjustable shelves to store cookbooks or a small TV and cubby holes for organizing recipes, bills, or correspondence. Below that there's a hinged desk front which folds down and offers enough space to accommodate a laptop computer. Watch and learn how to: create raised panels and intricate shelving work, and mortise and tenon joinery.
11x4 - Old Pine Hutch
January 23, 1999
In each season of The New Yankee Workshop, Norm crafts at least one woodworking project whose beautiful design and detailing ensures that it will become a cherished heirloom. This season it is unquestionably the hutch he crafts out of 200 year-old pine.

The interior of the wall-mounted upper cabinet features a traditional mirror back, two glass shelves, and accent lighting to showcase a prized glass or crystal collection.

Underneath, a divided cabinet features a roll-out tray for storing spirits and snacks on one side and enough space to accommodate an ice maker on the other. Though Norm admits its louver and sliding doors make it a more complex woodworking project, its decorative appeal and utilitarian value justify the challenge.

This is a Norm original, inspired by his need to sort his bright plaids, pastel plaids, and even a few white shirts for the laundry.

11x8 - Table Saw Station
February 20, 1999
Most woodworkers and homeowners own at least a portable light weight table saw for a variety of projects, but are limited to the size of wood they can cut due to the shortcomings of its design and a lack of accessory work surface. Always looking to expand the versatility of common tools, Norm created this season's home workshop accessory to expand the function of the common table saw.

This two-unit piece consists of a wall-mounted, upper cabinet with double-glass doors and a bottom unit with raised paneled doors for storage. Its classic look comes from its basic cabinetry style, cornice moulding, soapstone countertop, and vintage-looking cafe hardware made of brushed nickel.
