  • The owners of this unusual table, Jack and Jamie of Schramsberg Vineyards in Calistoga, California, told Norm that it was originally a Mexican paymaster's table, carried on horseback, and used to pay groups of laborers on site. Built of recycled pine, the desk functions quite well today as an end table - and conversation piece. The desk has splayed legs with a stretcher and a two-sided pull-through drawer once used for holding money.

    Let me get this straight. Not only are you letting us go down memory lane by allowing us access to these episodes, but you are giving us links to be able to purchase the plans too. Now that is a quite the deed.

    Thank you for letting us stream this lost classic. We were waiting for the router station from this same season.

    Nice quirky little project, I could see a couple of these being used as bedside tables.

    Reclaimed old growth pine. Norm was sure lucky to know the right people to get his hands on the best stuff.

    That's a fun challenge to craft with its angled legs and tenons etc. I read that 18th century master carpenters had unique ornate brass dovetail shapers so thar their work could be recognised by the unique shape of their dovetails.

    Out of curiosity, any idea the make and model of that bandsaw Norm was using in this episode? It had a monster wide blade in it. I liked it.
    Gotta say, coming home after a long day at work, it is really nice to relax and rewatch these episodes. Wish we could get Norm to do an annual Christmas episode. I'm 55 and have watched plenty of shows over the years. Still miss the New Yankee Workshop the most of them all.

      Doubt the make it anymore but it's a Hitachi CB75F Resawing Band Saw. It's a beast!

    Love seeing Norm again! Can I suggest allowing the resolution be at least 720p so I don't feel like I forgot my glasses?

    Where's the child's alphabet wagon and high chair?

    • @newyankeeworkshop
      @newyankeeworkshop  11 месяцев назад +1

      We can't post them because of newer child regulations that didn't exist back then. Lots of other videos though.

    • @christopherstein106
      @christopherstein106 11 месяцев назад

      I can understand the high chair regulations but what is the problem with the alphabet wagon. It is safe and the blocks can not post a choking hazard.

    paymaster's were shorter back in the old days, that's why the desk was so short

  • @SATXREM
    @SATXREM 11 месяцев назад +1

    Before we use any power tools, let’s take a moment to talk about shop safety. Be sure to read, understand, and follow all the safety rules that come with your power tools. Knowing how to use your power tools properly will greatly reduce the risk of personal injury. And remember this: There is no more important safety rule than to wear these, safety glasses.

      My conspiracy theory is Norms glasses... are just glasses.

    • @larryh7760
      @larryh7760 11 месяцев назад +1

      ​@m0nk3yl0v3r perhaps his lenses were polycarbonate safety lenses like I use for my glasses.
