The New Yankee Workshop

The New Yankee Workshop is an American half-hour woodworking television series produced by WGBH Boston, which aired on PBS.

In addition to furniture and cabinets, the show also focused on outdoor projects such as the building of a gazebo, shed, greenhouse, sailing boat, flag pole, mail box, cupola, and fences.

At the start of many episodes, Norm Abram travels to historic landmarks or notable locations that relate to the subject project.

[1][2] The shop where the show was produced is owned by Morash and is located on his property even though the viewer was given the impression that it was in Abram's backyard.

Along the south wall is the miter bench and storage unit, radial arm saw, and (not seen in episodes) a computer, a TV, and a small office area.

The east wall of the shop has a staircase leading to a loft area, jig storage, horizontal edge sander, and dust collector.

The north wall houses sheet goods, router table, bar clamps, wide belt sander, planer, jointer, band saw, and various mobile tools.

[4] In remarking on the end of the show, Abram stated, "We've had a great run, built challenging projects, met wonderful woodworkers and received loyal support from millions of viewers."
