Cricket Table - Program #311
An unusual piece, the hardwood cricket table features three angled legs. Norm demonstrates the complex angled mortise-and-tenon joinery necessitated by this configuration, using a set of jigs to make sure that all the pieces fit together properly.

Hall Seat - Item #0103

Each week we are going to feature a new project from one of you, our own New Yankee craftsmen, If you'd like your project to appear here, send us your digital photos with a brief description to photos@newyankee.com!

Jon Connell, England
Here's my hall seat built from the New Yankee plan. It's my first woodworking project and I'm very happy with how it turned out as it's not only an attractive piece of furniture that always brings comments from visitors, but something practical too. I've moved onto a grandfather clock now; nothing like jumping in deep once you've got your toes wet.

Deck Chair - Item #0212

It used to be when you cruised the ocean on a liner you would be offered a comfortable place to read and relax on a sun deck. A deckhand would show you to your wooden lounge chair, often made of teak, fitted with brass and combined with a footrest. Today you can enjoy the same comfort with Norm’s version, made of plantation grown teak and specialized brass hardware designed to withstand the elements.

More New Yankee Classics Now Available on DVD
Posted on 04/22/2010

We are pleased to announce that we now have the following titles available on DVD.

Here we will feature one of the questions from our viewers each week. If you've got one - click here to send it on in!

This week's featured question comes to us from Ron Shelley, and this fan writes:

Several years ago, I saw you use a tool that you custom made some crown molding. It was not a very large tool, but some beautiful moldings came out of it. I am trying to find this tool, with no luck, I just dont remember the name of it. I am living in Oregon, but I am from the east coast, and I am completely redoing my house. I cant find the colonial type moldings I want out here, so I want to make my own. HELP!

You are probably talking about the moulding machine we use from Williams and Hussey. Check them out on our "Yankee Links" section of the web site.
