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!
Old Pine Dry Sink - Item #0703
Now that we've had a chance to actually use this splendid reproduction of the old dry sink we saw at the Lee Mansion in Arlington VA we cannot recommend it more highly. It's beautiful to look at with its old pine exterior. But, best of all the house plants have thrived in it perhaps because they are getting watered regularly without a care of ruining the floor since the dry sink is lined with a copper pan. This is not a difficult piece to make but we can't think of a more useful addition to the living room.

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
Router 101 (2-Part Series) - Program #0606
Is there a woodworker anywhere who doesn’t own a router? Ever since these ubiquitous power tools were invented many years ago, craftsmen like Norm have been devising ways to use them for a wide variety of useful tasks. Norm begins this special two-part program with a demonstration of both the standard base and the plunge type router and declares his preference. He also shows some of his favorite bits for creating both simple and complex edges on his projects. Then, Norm turns to the task of making perfect mortises for hinges by creating a jig that allows even a novice to achieve perfect results every time. Next, Norm uses the router and builds another home-built jig to form precise dadoes in shelf standards, elements he might build for a bookcase project. In part two of this router special, Norm begins with a demonstration of commercial router tables and moves on to show his version of a router station that so many of his fans have copied for their own workshops. With it, Norm shows the step-by-step procedure of making raised panel cabinet doors. Next, Norm uses a homemade circle-cutting jig to form perfect circles of various diameters with a router. Also included are instructions and a demonstration on how to make inlays using a router. Measured drawings are not available for this project.
