The New Yankee Workshop 600 Series

...with Norm Abram

Plantation Shutters

Custom Plantation Shutters ordinarily cost a fortune, but Norm shows you how to make your own for an inexpensive price. He begins by building a selection of jigs for drilling holes, setting staples and mortising hinges. After machining the Basswood slats, he mounts them on a control rod and frames the assembly with poplar. The completed shutters are then painted and installed, resulting in smooth operation and a truly impressive appearance. Includes measured shop drawings.

Workshop Helpers

Everyone needs a helping hand from time to time. Norm’s helpers never show up late, never tire and work until the job is done. The Roller Stand will support stock moving off the table saw, band saw, or drill press. Sturdy, height-adjustable stand won’t tip over and includes a shop-made, self-storing crank for easy adjustability. The Stock Cart is a strong, lightweight wagon with five shelves to organize your parts, clamps or tools, and wheels to roll them easily from machine to machine. The Mobile Tool Stand is a portable shop-built table for bench-top tools like planers, small saws, and jointers. All projects include measured shop drawings.

The Poker Table

In this DVD, Norm sets out to design and build the ultimate Poker Table. The finished product is a clear winner, showcasing beautiful mahogany and seating eight players with recessed brass cup holders and a chip well for every player. Norm mates the spacious octagonal top with a sturdy eight-sided pedestal. Instead of the traditional felt covering, he chooses a state-of-the-art synthetic fabric that offers much-improved resistance to pilling and wear. Includes measured shop drawings. Measures 30"H x 50"W.

The Shop Clock

Hours can fly by when you’re in the workshop, but Norm keeps tabs on time with his Shop Clock, built out of beautiful Walnut with a key-wind spring movement. Elegant crown and foot moldings frame a classic design. The result is equally at home in any other room of the house as it is in the workshop. Norm gives helpful tips at every step of the process. Great project for beginners. Includes measured shop drawings. Measures 28"H x 14"W x 7"D.
