The New Yankee Workshop (1989)

Episode Overview

The locals of Bermuda refer to themselves as "Onions," likely inspired by the flavorful bulbs they have cultivated for centuries. However, the term also describes the wooden bun-shaped feet that elevate their blanket chests from the moist floors of their coastal homes. During his visit to Bermuda, Norm discovers a beautifully crafted solid mahogany chest, a historic piece that he skillfully replicates upon returning to his workshop.
