Another one of those shows…

Christine (Who am I?)

…that I like to watch, but will probably never try any of the projects from, is The New Yankee Workshop. It features Norm Abram, who is also on This Old House, building a different piece of furniture each week. He has built everything from curio cabinets to benches and chairs to kitchen islands to poker tables.

Norm has every fancy power tool under the sun, no doubt given to him by the many sponsors of the show.  Also, his workshop is ginormous.  He makes the projects look so easy, but for those of us who don’t have the tools that he does, nor a workshop large enough to house them, making some of this stuff could be a challenge.  It’s easier just to buy furniture.

But still, the show is fun to watch.
