Carousel Table (#2108) Duration: 26:46 CC TVG

It's a great family gathering table and perfect for playing games with the kids, Norm claimed when he discovered the original in a private collection in Savannah. The ingenious design of this table features a lazy Susan centerpiece which can easily be removed for more formal gatherings. While building this piece out of salvaged pine, Norm shares his secrets for creating the spindle centerpiece with minimal hardware.

Cowboy Sideboard (#1906) Duration: 26:46 CC TVG

Wyoming antiques dealer Terry Winchell wants everybody to know about the remarkable work of furniture designer Thomas Molesworth. In the 1930s, from his base in Cody, Wyoming, Molesworth created "cowboy"-style furnishings made from peeled Douglas fir logs, stretched red leather and routed out images of Indian teepees, animal tracks and shooting irons. Dwight Eisenhower was a fan of this particularly distinctive dude ranch furniture, as was Thomas Yawkey (once the owner of Norm's beloved Red Sox). Today, Molesworth is very collectable, as Norm finds out when he visits Winchell at his operation in Jackson Hole. The ultimate New England craftsman brings a little bit of Western sensibility into his Yankee workshop when he decides to takes on a Molesworth-style sideboard for his own collection.

Painted Cupboard (#1907) Duration: 26:46 CC TVG

Little is known about the handsome painted cupboard that resides in one of the period rooms in the elegant country estate at the Winterthur Museum in Delaware. On a guided tour with Director of Conservation Gregory Landrey, Norm discovers the cupboard and is drawn to its scale, the unusual arched top door and the "pinched" cornice that towers above the case. Norm builds his own version to the same dimensions back at the workshop and even matches the green-blue paint on the exterior and the wine-red color used for the interior.
