What’s everbody working on now? My main project is going to be storage for various places around the house. This weekend will probably be a quick rack for yard tools rather than anyrhing all that pretty.

    I’ve been watching some of those episodes again since they are on youtube now. I grew up watching them with dad and hope to do the same with my son.

      Compared to current YT videos for woodworking they don’t have a list of all the things used in the video. It would be helpful for my build since Norm does not specify which “sealant” he is using to coat the unstained parts, nor which stain conditioner to prevent blotching. But I got into woodworking with this series and I made several items.

        Yeah the lack of specific products is very much a characteristic of those sort of shows. Which as I understand was related to Bob Vila’s exit from TOH. I wonder if some of the products are no longer available at this point anyway.

          I also moved out of the US, and the products I do remember are not sold here. I even went to several stain suppliers and they had not even heard of things like a pre-stain conditioner, or generic “sealer”. I am making do, but wish he had just been more specific like “use a polyurethane finish diluted to seal the unstained inside components”.
