I've been watching some of those episodes again since they are on youtube now. I grew up watching them with dad and hope to do the same with my son.

Compared to current YT videos for woodworking they don't have a list of all the things used in the video. It would be helpful for my build since Norm does not specify which "sealant" he is using to coat the unstained parts, nor which stain conditioner to prevent blotching. But I got into woodworking with this series and I made several items.

Most of those old shows used dewaxed shellac (like Zinsser SealCoat) as a sealer and for pre-stain you can just make your own with 1 part mineral spirits to 1 part linseed oil wiped on then off after 15 mins.
