The New Yankee Workshop

Cupola (21x20)

: 16, 2009

In a surprise twist, Norm opens this New Yankee Workshop from This Old House's job site in Milton, Massachusetts. While building a new “dream workshop” on the footprint of the old barn’s demolished shell, Norm decides to replicate a version of the antique cupola that once adorned its roof back in the New Yankee Workshop. With help from coppersmith Larry Stearn, Norm recreates a copper-roofed version of the original design. Calling it a “true carpentry project which entails every mitre box application,” Norm expertly crafts the cupola’s louvers and hip roof.
