It Starts with a Box. Our 5-day course comes to a close and with that we have a new box for a guitar amp, a mitered keepsake box with acrylic lid, and finally a stylish walnut trough for house plants. A great week with some beautiful projects! All made completely by hand, from design to dimensioning the lumber, to joinery and onto the finish. If you’d like to join one of our Spring courses, check out the Unplugged Woodshop website for details. #theunpluggedwoodshop #boxmaking #boxdesign #handtoolsonly #woodworkingproject #woodworkingskills #unpluggedwoodworking #handcutdovetails #handcutjoinery #custombox #learnwoodworking #torontomakers #madebyhand #leslieville #gerrardstreeteast #unplugged (at The Unplugged Woodshop) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqL3-xzp2NE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Beginner's Guide to Woodworking Essentials

@williamfrancisbrown Alex Grabovetskiy‘s first day of classical Carving class at the Maine Coast Workshop. Sorry his head got cut off when I download it the clips. What a gifted and entertaining speaker! Alex started carving in Russia at age 6 and has distilled a lifetime of wisdom into his presentations. Incredible stuff. In the morning Alex gave a design lecture. Some pretty deep stuff explaining the logic of design and how the golden ratio and Fibonacci sequence are the keys to creating beautiful designs. It is all an understanding of God‘s order of creation and how we can cooperate with, understand it, and create designs that will last or fight it and create tension and ugly design that will only be ephemeral. The afternoon we covered his sharpening method. He demonstrates tools so sharp but he can carve with one hand tied behind his back! We host very small classes with the finest artisans in the world in beautiful Camden Maine. —Woodworking, Carving, & Traditional Arts classes by world-class masters. https://www.MaineCoastWorkshop.com/ in Camden, Maine, “The Jewel of the Maine Coast” #woodworking #finefurniture #chestercounty #woodshop #interiordesign #reproductionfurniture #learnwoodworking My Furniture and Carving Website: https://www.LineAndBerry.com/ #chestercounty #handmade #furniture #camdenMaine #periodfurniture #lineandberry #chippendale #colonialfurniture #colonialantiques #spicebox #queenann #williamandmary #inlay #periodfurniture #folkcarvings #bellamy #bellamyeagle #bellamyeagles #bellamyeaglecarvings #veneer (at U.S.A) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQXVR1nD8aD/?utm_medium=tumblr

The first photo I posted on this profile. What was the purpose? Work-life balance. What came out? You could say it almost worked. But why does man keep coming back to what already was? 🇵🇱 Pierwsze zdjęcie jakie opublikowałem na tym profilu. Jaki był cel? Work-life balance. Co wyszło? Można powiedzieć że prawie się udało. Tylko dlaczego człowiek cały czas wraca do tego co już było? #wspomnienia #sentyment #sentymentalnie #carpenter #woodchipsflying #woodworking #learnwoodworking #handtools #traditionalcarpentry #stolarstwo #stolarstwotradycyjne #narzedziareczne #narzędzia #stolarskie #stolarz (w: Poznan, Poland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CO04SjwjjSv/?igshid=omppue4pfiz5

When a span becomes long o when the loads become large, a simple wood beam sometimes is not enough to have an adequate load bearing capacity and even the sawn lumber (madera cortada) may become impractical. In this circumstance and possibly for architectural reasons, structural glued laminated timber also know as GLULAM, (glulam; Láminas de madera pegadas entre sí para formar un elemento nuevo mucho más resistente) can be used. Phenol-resorcinol base or melamine adhesives have been used to bond material making up the glulam. . . These members are fabricated from relative thin laminations between 1 and to inches of wood. These laminations can be finger-jointed at their ends and glued together in such a way to produce wood members of practically any size and length. . . In glulam beams, high quality laminations are located in areas of high stress (for example, near the top and bottom of the beam). Lower quality wood is placed near the neutral axis where the stresses are lower. The outer tension laminations are critical and require the highest-grade stock. . . . . . . . . . . E S T R U C T U R A. “I saw you dancing in a crowded room You look so happy when I'm not with you.” . . . . . . . . . . . #wood #wooddesign #woodworker #construction #losangeles #losangelescalifornia #structuralengineering #structuraldesign #civilengineer #learning #learnwoodworking #homeconstruction #sanluisobispo #santamonica #longbeach #structuralengineer #structuraldetailing #luxuryhomes #learnsomethingnew #sketch #drawing #detailing #dowhatyoulove #engineer #engineering #architecture #architecturelovers #losangelesarchitecture #constructionlife (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNk9_44Bgr0/?igshid=v8pvpc9eki12

Tips for Beginner Woodworkers Hey guys! Since I’ve been asked a lot lately. I wanted to take a moment and share some tips for anyone interested in getting into woodworking. These are just my humble opinion and it’s what has helped me personally to be successful. 1- Start where you are and with what you have, acquire tools as the project dictates it. As I always say #goshapesomewood Just get out there and start. 2- Pick a project that you’ll love working on and a piece that you or someone else (if making for someone else) have a need for. 3-Plan out your project, create a design, sketch it up, calculate measurements and material requirements, you’ll save time instead of staring at your wall in the shop or garage 4-Think about how you will supply yourself with wood material you need to build projects. Will you use reclaimed wood like pallet wood or wood from a salvage yard, new material from a local saw mill or will you go to a big box store? The wood source will change the project requirements and the effort that will go into it. If the wood is not already surfaced on all 4 sides, meaning it isn’t square, then you have to make it so it is. Most likely you’ll end up an one of the big box stores since you may not have the tools to surface the wood yourself. Plan the cost into your project and it should work out just fine. Message me with any questions especially around if you are wanting to get into milling your own wood and I’d be happy to answer them. Hope these are helpful! #woodworking #learnwoodworking #woodshaped #woodshapedofficial https://www.instagram.com/p/BxApvbUgjIo/?igshid=1n8i4e9aj3hcu

It sits! On today’s IG live we assembled the mockup of the rocking stool and had the first sit. We talked about the adjustments I’d make and what the next steps will be. Tune in again tomorrow at 2 pm EST with your woodworking questions! I’m also bringing back the virtual woodworking classes and consults. Bring your projects, questions, tools or whatever woodworking topic you’d like to pick my brain about! One-off classes or consults are $75 an hour. If you’re interested in doing an extended project, a group of classes, or take classes virtually with your friends/other students, I’d be happy to offer group rates, just get in touch. Thanks as always for supporting my dream and I hope this is a way I can continue to pursue my passion of teaching and sharing woodworking with others. #woodworkingclasses #woodworking #learnwoodworking #iglive #finewoodworking #chairmaking https://ift.tt/2QzbUlL

On the 12th of Oct 2017, VFORWOOD witnessed a bamboo craftsman in action at Makers Asylum, Andheri (e). We meet the multi-talented Rizal Abdulhadi (@rizalmusicofficial) from Java,Indonesia. Rizal is a free spirited, passionate , bamboo builder and a musician . He has amalgamated the guitar, didgeridoo and celempung (percussion) to conjure up his own bamboo musical instrument, The Rasendriya. He showcased the ease of building any musical instrument by building an electric lap guitar in a quick 2 hour Workshop :-) . We were hopeful the build would be in Bamboo, but a slab of wood worked out well, as a replacement. For Rizal, bamboo is a way of life and he strongly advocates it as a source for sustainable living. He even wears it on person, in the form of his spectacle frame. He has provided gainful employment to the people of his village, by setting up a small workshop there, where he manufactures these. Do visit his site https://www.facebook.com/thatbamboo/.

The box is assembled ( no glue ) after the bottom and middle divider is fit. The middle divider is captured in stopped dados. The top edges of the divider is shouldered so I could round over the top edges and not create gaps in the joinery. Next step is the lid and then onto the finish. I’m not planning to glue this box as it will serve well as an example piece for our 5-day box making courses and will be beneficial to be able to pull it apart to see what’s going on inside the joinery. This is a great example of the kind of project you could build in our course: It Starts with a Box…Details on the Unplugged Woodshop website. #theunpluggedwoodshop #anunpluggedlife #boxmaking #boxdesign #handcutjoinery #handtoolsonly #learnwoodworking #woodworkingclasses #torontowoodworking #unpluggedwoodworking #joinery #unplugged (at The Unplugged Woodshop) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp5Kxz5OgvU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Greenwood Wednesday’s at the Unplugged Woodshop. These students finished off week three of three with some bowl carving. We had some beautiful spalted maple that I found blown down over the Christmas break at Ashbridges Bay. You can see the colour variations inside their bowls. Great stuff, great group, great fun! No class next week but the following week we’ll have a new group of green woodworkers getting started…. Butter paddles, wooden spoons and bowls. Greenwood Wednesday’s, check out the Unplugged Woodshop website for more details. #theunpluggedwoodshop #greenwoodworking #carving #spooncarving #torontomakers #torontospooncarving #woodbowls #spaltedmaple #local #madebyhand #handcrafted #learnwoodworking #woodworkingclasses #torontowoodworkingclasses #leslieville #gerrones #gerrardstreeteast #unplugged (at The Unplugged Woodshop) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn4HcDzu66N/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It Starts with a Box…. Day one of five. Six new students begin the week designing their box projects; using full scale drawings they selected their materials, learn how to create a cut list and then began rough dimensioning their project parts. Measuring, laying out, cross cutting and shooting with a hand plane. Lots of fundamental techniques covered today. A great start to what should be an amazing week! There’s still a couple of spaces left in February’s 5-day class- check out the Unplugged Woodshop website for details and register today. #theunpluggedwoodshop #woodworkingclasses #woodworkingcourses #learnwoodworking #boxmaking #boxdesign #design #handtoolsonly #woodworkingproject #handtoolwoodworking #unpluggedwoodworking #torontowoodworking #leslieville #woodworkingschool #madebyhand #handcrafted #gerrardstreeteast #unplugged (at The Unplugged Woodshop) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cnf_R4eOld_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
