In an unexpected turn, Norm kicks off this episode of The New Yankee Workshop at a recent renovation site from This Old House in Milton, Massachusetts. As he constructs a new "dream workshop" on the site of a previously demolished barn, Norm chooses to replicate a vintage cupola that once graced its roof. Collaborating with coppersmith Larry Stearn, he recreates a copper-roofed version of the classic design. Norm emphasizes that this is a "true carpentry project," skillfully crafting the cupola's louvers and hip roof, demonstrating various mitre box techniques along the way.
