5.0 out of 5 stars
A great book, just like the series.,
By camwildo@pathcom.com (Mississauga, ON) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Classics from the New Yankee Workshop (Paperback)
I bought this book at my local book store the other day. I must say it is excellent. It is mostly for non-amateurs, but they can give it a try. It says on the book, a companion to the series. I totally agree. Though you can probably make the projects from the book, it will be much easier to follow along with the specific episode. Nice illustrations. Scaled down plans are included. If you are a fan of the New Yankee Workshop, then you have to get the book.

Good, detailed, and well explained plans.,
By Smaug "Jeremy" (Round Lake Beach, IL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Classics from the New Yankee Workshop (Paperback)
He's got this book laid out so that each chapter is it's own project. That's a good way to do it to make sure there's enough info to do it right. However, That means that in this relatively fat (expensive) book there are only 10 projects or so. The only project I really liked was the Adirondack chair, the others were too specialized for my simple tastes.

This review is from: Classics from the New Yankee Workshop (Paperback)
I enjoyed reading and studying some of these projects. Each one of Norm's books have something new and interesting to learn about. My only question is when will there be a next issue? The TV projects are great and it would be nice to review the available plans and be able to order them on the net.
