Theme song The New Yankee Workshop theme song consists of a fast-paced guitar tune with a harmonica sound. It is composed by Peter Bell and David Mash of Musictech Productions.
Set design The shop where the show was produced is owned by Morash and is located on his property even though the viewer was given the impression that it was in Abram's backyard.
The shop is 936 square feet (87.0 m2 ) in size.[ 1] The famous sliding barn door faces west. Along the west wall is the "back bench" and drill press. Along the south wall is the miter bench and storage unit, radial arm saw, and (not seen in episodes) a computer, a TV, and a small office area. The east wall of the shop has a staircase leading to a loft area, jig storage, horizontal edge sander, and dust collector. The north wall houses sheet goods, router table, bar clamps, wide belt sander, planer, jointer, band saw, and various mobile tools. The center area of the shop consists of the table saw and associated outfeed tables as well as a large assembly table. In the northeast section of the building is a separate finishing room.
Cancellation On October 16, 2009, WGBH Boston announced that no further episodes of New Yankee Workshop would be produced.[ 2] In remarking on the end of the show, Abram stated, "We've had a great run, built challenging projects, met wonderful woodworkers and received loyal support from millions of viewers." Abram later claimed that the entire duration of the show was fully funded through underwriting and could have kept going, but he decided he had accomplished everything he wanted to do and wanted to spend more time with his family.[ 3]
Until September 5, 2022, episodes of The New Yankee Workshop were available to stream on NewYankee.com and through the This Old House Insider subscription service. Project plan PDFs were also available with the Insider subscription. It was announced that the license agreement between Morash Assoc., Inc. WGBH Educational Foundation, Linnor, Inc. and This Old House Ventures, LLC (parent company Roku, Inc.) had expired and episodes would no longer be available through This Old House.[ 4]
On January 13, 2023, the New Yankee Workshop YouTube channel posted a video of Russell Morash announcing the availability of episodes on YouTube. After giving a tour of the New Yankee Workshop Morash ended the video by stating, "We are thrilled to know that YouTube is now showing The New Yankee episodes to a whole new generation of people who may have somehow missed out the first time it was around, and now they're available anytime you tune to YouTube and want to watch a feast of woodworking. It's all there and it's all for you to enjoy and I certainly hope you do."[ 5]

Season 1 (1989) The closing credits for the first eight seasons of The New Yankee Workshop consisted of an exterior shot of the workshop with a sign in it, as we see Norm Abram closing the workshop door, and gets ready to go home and have dinner with his family. On early episodes of this season, with the workshop door already opened, a dog is visible running away while Norm puts his tools away. For the rest of the entire season, after Norm puts his tools away, he moves the table, and the corner cupboard out of the way, and closes the workshop door. # Title Original Air Date Project Page 101 "Medicine Cabinet" January 7, 1989 https://www.newyankee.com/product/medicine-cabinet/ 102 "Workbench" January 14, 1989 https://www.newyankee.com/product/workbench/ 103 "Drop Leaf Table" January 21, 1989 https://www.newyankee.com/product/drop-leaf-table/ 104 "Blanket Chest" January 28, 1989 https://www.newyankee.com/product/blanket-chest/ 105 "Bedside Table" February 4, 1989 https://www.newyankee.com/product/bedside-table/ 106 "Oak Bathroom Vanity" February 11, 1989 https://www.newyankee.com/product/oak-bathroom-vanity/ 107 "Trestle Table" February 18, 1989 https://www.newyankee.com/product/trestle-table/ 108 "Bookcase" February 25, 1989 https://www.newyankee.com/product/bookcase/ 109 "Chest of Drawers" March 4, 1989 https://www.newyankee.com/product/chest-of-drawers/ 110 "Candle Stand" March 11, 1989 https://www.newyankee.com/product/candle-stand/ 111 "Hutch" March 18, 1989 https://www.newyankee.com/product/hutch/ 112 "Slant Top Writing Desk" March 25, 1989 https://www.newyankee.com/product/slant-top-writing-desk/ 113 "Corner Cupboard" April 1, 1989 https://www.newyankee.com/product/corner-cupboard/

Season 10 (1998) Season 10 introduced a new episode numbering system. Previous seasons had been numbered in three digit format using the season number (1-9) as the first digit, and the episode number making up the last two digits. So, for example, the third episode of the 4th season would be episode number 403. Starting with this season, episode numbers consisted of four digits with the first two digits representing the last two digits of the year in which the season first aired and the last two digits representing the episode number within that season. So, the fourth episode of the 10th season, having first aired in 1998, would be episode number 9804.

Season 21 (2009) Season 21 stood out from other seasons in that it had approximately twice the number of episodes of any previous season. The season also varied from previous seasons in that no new projects were built. Instead each episode rebroadcast a project built in a previous season. All of the rebroadcast episodes were from either the ninth or tenth season. Each "new" episode consisted of the original episode prefaced by a newly recorded introduction by Abram.
