Stock Phrases | |
| The New Yankee Workshop / int_4d84f749 | comment |
Stock Phrases: Just about every episode is guaranteed to have a few. "If you want to build your own [insert project type here], a measured drawing is available with a materials list, and you'll hear more about that before the program ends." "Before we use any power tools, let's take a moment to talk about shop safety. Be sure to read, understand, and follow all the safety rules that come with your power tools. Knowing how to use you power tools properly will greatly reduce the risk of personal injury. And remember there is no more important safety rule than to wear these (points) safety glasses." (following the Time Skip that takes us from one day's work to the next) "Well, good morning!" | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| The New Yankee Workshop / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: Downplayed; it's not weirdness, precisely, but it's hard to miss that the first season lacks a few elements that would come to define the show later. The editing isn't as smooth, the intro formula hasn't quite been worked out, and Norm jumps right into working with his power tools without delivering his iconic safety speech. | |

Time Skip | |
| The New Yankee Workshop / int_5fcb9ad1 | comment |
Time Skip: Norm often takes a couple of days to finish a project, wrapping up for the evening midway through an episode and returning the next morning to resume the work. | |

Safety Freak | |
| The New Yankee Workshop / int_714c984c | comment |
Safety Freak: Downplayed. Norm is too mild-mannered to be a freak, but he does emphasize the importance of understanding your power tools and wearing your safety glasses in every episode. | |

Friend to All Children: Norm occasionally works on projects for children, like a playhouse or a trundle bed, and is later seen chatting with the kids as they use his creations. | |

True Craftsman: Norm is devoted to quality in every project he works on and takes pride in making useful, durable, and beautiful pieces. There's absolutely no Cutting Corners in the New Yankee Workshop; Norm is a firm believer in "measure twice, cut once" and advises woodworkers never to rush anything. | |

Product Placement | |
| The New Yankee Workshop / int_f511ea9b | comment |
Product Placement: Many of the show's underwriters were companies that made power tools, finishes, and other woodworking-related products. All got brief commercials after the opening theme, but Norm rarely, if ever, mentioned a brand by name while working. | |
