Season 17
(2005)
Overview
Norm visits Bermuda where he gets ideas to build a bench/table out of cypress and a chest out of mahogany. He also builds an oak hall mirror, an upholstered ottoman, a federal-style game table, a side chair, a cherry tilt top table, a Queen Anne highboy out of tiger maple, yet another kitchen island, carved wooden signs, and the library modular bookshelf system. For "shop tools and techniques", he demonstrates the basics of using the lathe.
