The 2009 season of New Yankee Workshop is about to happen.

From the website:
--

The New Yankee Workshop returns to PBS with a compilation of 26
episodes. Each program will feature a popular project from a past
season with new introductions by host Norm Abram.

--

My reading of this is that it is a "best of Norm" series of shows.
Nothing new.

Others have the same opinion?

Reruns?? Reruns?? That is what is presently playing on cable. 4, 352
episodes of Nahm, over and over and over again!!

So what is a 26 episode compilation?? Distilled rerruns?? It sounds like a
bad soup de jour at a greasy spoon diner. I'm getting indigestion already.

I guess these means one of three things. Nahm is taking an extended
vacation. Or Nahm quit and they haven't found anybody to replace him. Or
they decided to see how much money they can make without actually producing
any new product.

The latter, one would think. A gray hair Nahm introduces the rerun. A
younger Nahm without DT's performs unspeakable atrocities to large piles of
perfectly good wood, using normal sized Delta stationary tools and PC
handholdables.

When I met Norm a few years ago at Sturbridge Village he mentioned that he
was looking forward to winding down and having more time for himself and his
wife... He's had a long run between the two shows, books, woodworking shows,
etc. Good for him!

U'd think a 30 minute work week 14 weeks out of the year would give him
enough free time. ;~)

Kind of like the preacher who only works 1 hour per week, eh? :-)

Leon;

You obviously have absolutely no concept of what goes into making one of
these 30 minute wonders. It takes about three 8 to 10 hour days to plan
what is going to be taped and another two 8 to 10 hour days to tape it.

Well, since my PBS station can't ever manage to actually show more
than one episode at the same time on consecutive weeks, this just
means I won't be annoyed that I didn't see it. So I see it as an
improvement.

I agree and I don't have a problem with it. I would imagine it is difficult
to keep fresh creativity going.
I saw the rerun on his entrance door and as a result ordered the tape of the
show with a "measured drawing". They are discounting the VHS tapes if you
are interested.
I think I will check on the Shaker glass door bookshelf he built. :-)

New Yankee Workshop "Discounting VHS Tapes?"

I'll betcha. Don't they have them on DVD by now?
