The New Yankee Workshop (1989)

S5E1 Victorian Kitchen Table

In this episode, Norm crafts his take on the beloved Victorian kitchen table, drawing inspiration from three distinct designs he explored in Britain. Utilizing century-old "sinker" pine retrieved from the riverbeds of the southeastern U.S., the table features a spacious storage drawer that extends partially beneath its surface. Norm showcases the integration of this drawer into the overall design and demonstrates the process of shaping the table's robust legs on a lathe, providing viewers with both practical insights and creative techniques.
