The New Yankee Workshop (1989)

S06E08 Student's Desk

Norm creates a desk for the top achiever in the household, drawing inspiration from his own high school desk memories. The strong laminate panels offer a sleek writing surface that will maintain its appeal over time. Norm showcases the technique for applying high-pressure laminates and employs mortise and tenon joinery to craft elegant oak frames. To ensure longevity, he finishes the oak with a protective layer of polyurethane.
