The New Yankee Workshop

Library Ladder

Though a gardener friend uses his handsome antique library ladder to display a collection of vintage watering cans, Norm vows that it can also be used for more utilitarian purposes. He builds this intermediate woodworking project out of recycled, long leaf Southern yellow pine and in the process, demonstrates how to craft its defining feature - splayed legs joined by a hinged crossbar. NOTE: This is the same project as Season 10, Episode 4 with a new introduction by Norm Abram.
