Re: Total garage shop makeover
Hi...I've built these doors using allot of your ideas, and I am in the process of getting ready for the windows. One question though...What thickness did you use for your window sills (On your Carriage style doors)and for trim on your windows? The magazine article doesn't elaborate, and it would be nice to keep the same basic proportions (My doors are a bit wider)and look of your originals.

I thought that Norm had already built his home workshop when he built his house a few years ago.
posted: 1:56 pm on October 28thThis gives hope to us NYWSP fans (Hopefully we'll be able to peek in once and awhile)who'll be expected to go "Cold Turkey" without our Saturday fix of Norm and his latest project/s!
If we know Norm (Like we think we do) HIS home workshop project will be one of the best.
Here's hoping Fine Woodworking will be invited by Norm to keep us informed (With plenty of pictures) of Norm's progress
in building his Own Home workshop. (That'll be a good read)
Re: New Yankee Workshop Series Ends
Well...Some of us knew something was up when Norm started backing off on coming up with new projects and eventually started airing re-runs in season 21.
posted: 10:53 am on October 21stThis is a horrible loss to the woodworking community, Norm was a great spokesperson for the craft.
Others have said it well here in this forum about what this will mean to Norm's many fans.
One suggestion though...A few years ago, Norm built himself a NEW house and a separate building for his personal workshop. (This was touched on in his book)
What are the chances that Fine Woodworking could talk Norm into showing us what Norm's personal (At Home) workshop looks like?
With everything that Norm has learned from the many seasons of filming and being involved in woodworking and exposed to the latest and greatest in this hobby or livelyhood, Norm's personal workshop must be a relection of what he has learned over the years.
For those that don't know, the actual New Yankee Workshop was built on Russell Morash's property and although that's where Norm filmed and built his many projects, Norm does not own that building.
Whether Norm will take home (To his personal Workshop)any of the tools the NYWSP has acquired over the years is unknown, but speaking as a fan I'd sure like to find out what Norm's real "At home" workshop looks like.
It would be a nice gesture on Norm's part (If he would allow it) and call it kind of a "Goodbye gift" sort of to his many fans who will be wondering what Norm's "Up to" in his retirement.
