There is a post on the tailed forum about New Yankee Workshop episodes being on line. #1 is presently being shown.
I started to watch it then I quit. I used to watch the starting of some episodes way back when. I really enjoyed watching him go to some place or antique store where I could see the originals he was going to copy and then turned to a movie or something after he was done with the scouting mission.
Any body else guilty?

I was engrossed by this show when I was a kid, and I watched every episode I could on Sundays? I don't think I got up at all during the show, as there wasn't any commercials, and I have a few shows on my computer now that I have watched.
Same goes for This Old House.

I have to admit that I'm guilty of Never! watching an episode of the New Yankee Workshop. It was on in the mornings around here and I just can't stand watching TV when I have other things to do. I also don't watch any sports on TV. David Marks well that was a different story...

I just can't get into watching that show. That is not an insult. It just doesn't grab me.

I appreciate Norm's contribution to art, however, I don't have shop room or the budget for all the equipment he uses.
Also, I get a little tired of seeing the same thing on every show, such as cutting tenons on a table saw, centering a groove on the edge of a board on table saw, or machining yet another piece of wood.
I think Norm has realized the same thing since he's ending the series.

I'm way guilty then, I've DVRed episodes and watch them. I never watched at all until about a year ago.
But then, my knuckles don't touch the floor, either. I love hand tools and techniques, but time and skills are lacking.

I have never watched a full episode, but as I used to work 6 days a week and Ol Roy came on on Saturday Mornings, I taped all of them for viewing later.
