The New Yankee Workshop

Season 21 Episode 26: Roll Top Desk (2)

Norm visits the Old Schwamb Mill in Arlington, Massachusetts. Built in 1860, the mill was purchased in 1864 by German immigrant woodworkers, Charles and Frederick Schwamb. The brothers did a brisk business crafting the oval picture frames which, at the time, were in demand to display photographs of Civil War soldiers. In the Schwamb Brother's old office, Norm spies a handsome, quarter-sawn oak roll top desk, which inspires him to build his version of this American classic. This is part 2 of 2. NOTE: This is the same project as Season 10, Episode 13 with a new introduction by Norm Abram.
