The Detectives (1993)

Episode Overview

In a refreshing twist from the usual New England-style furnishings showcased on The New Yankee Workshop, Norm takes cues from southwestern furniture artisans to build a mission-style sofa. Characterized by its clean lines and sturdy oak frame, the design accommodates plush cushions. While it reflects a unique regional aesthetic, Norm utilizes familiar woodworking methods, such as mortise-and-tenon joinery, that he applies in his other creations. This project beautifully blends traditional craftsmanship with a distinct southwestern flair.
