Being somewhat of a beginner craftsman, I liked this video

The New Yankee Workshop. Building a table with a Cherry Top.
I found this to be very interesting and more enjoyable with a cup of coffee. I learned a few things.

A very young Norm!  I enjoyed watching The New Yankee Workshop.  I, too, learned a great deal from that show.  I am not sure if I watched them all, but I would not bet against it  ;D. 

Here is a cherry desk that I made that is somewhat similar, just no stretchers.  This is the very first picture that I posted on the Forum many moons ago!

Man Danny......looks good. By not having stretchers, it allows you to sit all the way around the table.
If it's called the New Yankee Workshop up North......what do you call yours down South? 

I pull for the Southern Boys myself.

I watch his show every weekend  on his website. He has a new project once a week & if your interested in his plans there well drawn. http://www.newyankee.com/index.php

Thanks Peter, but I actually use it as a desk.  The large drawer in the front is actually a pull-out keyboard.  The New Yankee Workshop has provided me with much inspiration.

Ya WDH norm whips out a project in 60 min and makes it look easy :D :D :D :D, but I bet he spends hrs to get it right for tv, thats what happen to me ,I use to watch him years ago and see the tools that man had in his shop  , and that got me buying tools, and with the tools and know how they work help me make the things I have, but I had a wood mizer too so all the things a mess up that went in the wood stove was ok, I just go get a another board :D :D ;D
I did learn a lot from him

Hey Poston thanks for posting this link!  I also learned a great deal, now I know how to make a tapered leg jig for my table saw for one thing 8)  Really sweet table WDH someday I hope to be able to complete a table project with that kind of quality!

Thanks for the NYW video, David. I thought I had seen them all but I didn't recall that one. Norm was pretty young and the shop tools were pretty basic, too.

I have watched that show for years on PBS. I also have all of Norm's books.

Very cool!  Another show I sometimes watch is the Woodwright Workshop, also on PBS.
