Episode numbers are based on the year the show ran, although they've changed the particular way they indicate it a time or two and it varies, even today, with whether you're looking at their episode guide, their current season guide, or ordering a plan. You can read the explanation here. I've put a year column on the table to make things easy.
The episode guide on The New Yankee Workshop webpage now uses the last two digits of the broadcast year as the first two digits of the episode and also to denote the plan numbers. This represents about the third iteration of plan/episode numbering they have used, and I have never recoded links to keep up. I still don't feel like re-coding the links.
HGTV once carried The New Yankee Workshop's older episodes but no longer does. I will leave the following information about their episode numbering here for archival purposes, and I will also continue to show their program numbers alongside the episodes, if for no other reason than that I won't have to do a lot of editing to take them off the page. Note that HGTV's episode numbering system is not the same as NYW's. I believe they assigned their episode numbers in numerical order based on the batch of shows they contracted to air. Apparently they bought four batches.
DIY Network (a partner with HGTV) is now airing NYW episodes, taking up where the HGTV series left off—beginning with the 13th season. They call the first season the “1300 Series” echoing the season number. Their initial package was for just that season, but they've since aired the 14th and 15th (partial, so far) seasons, as well.
I have notes and video on each of the 260 episodes to date—through the end of the 20th season. Without sounding selfish or unhelpful, please don't ask for copies of episodes. For one thing, it's a copyright violation to do so. For another, think of the workload I would have to undertake to accommodate requests. I'm retired—I'd like to keep it that way.
The titles of the projects are clickable links to my notes on the tools I've identified from viewing the tapes of each episode.
