 Morgan Strickland - Finished the second Williamsburg garden bench, this time using wet deodar cedar. In the attached photos, you’ll see the contrast of the deodar to the earlier bench I made about a year ago using western red cedar. The new bench is for my Father in-law.  Bob Hoellwarth Tensegrity Table, also known as an impossible table or anti-gravity table. The table is supported by one string in the middle, and the outside 6 strings stabilize it to prevent it from falling.  Ryan Evans - Foot Stool. It is being used next to the crib when dropping the little one down into it. Made of cherry, finished with oil-based stain and polyurethane.  Bob Bean - I watched an episode of the Wood Right Shop with Roy Underhill and he made an Andre Roubo book stand and I was fascinated by the process. I just had to try my hand at trying to make one also. The stand has 7 knuckle joints which took a lot of time to produce. The stand is 16 inches tall, 6 inches wide, and 1 inch thick. After cutting the 14 knuckles I split the board in two and cut the decorative top and bottom with my scroll saw before separating the hinge with a box knife and chisel. The book shelf is 1 1/2 inches deep. The side view shows the how the split board connects the top to the bottom. I recorded Roy Underhill's show and watched it several times so I could make the correct cuts on the hinge. I also watched a Utube video which had a plan for the stand. Bob Bean  Jimmy Wong - outdoor chest to store gardening stuff. Construction cedar, remnant Trex decking boards, and Penofin oil finish.  Bob Hoellwarth - I have just published the video for Joinery Class Episode 3, which shows a Mitered Half Lap Joint. I explain the strengths of the joint and show how I cut it with hand tools. https://youtu.be/7APVUC5vbrM I have already released Episode 5, because Ep. 3 took extra time to make, since a friend of mine composed a musical score for the video.  Reece Kerley - Reece made this coffee table out of 3 pieces of Bill Tarleton's oak. He gave it to his daughter for her new apartment. |

Join us for a discussion with John Spivey about the creative process of designing and building beautiful furniture - from soil through wood into a functional sculpture. Spivey's design inspiration lies in the flow of lines within Zen calligraphy and painting. John will be sharing stories about where he draws design inspiration, such as a 94 -year old Japanese woman calligraphy teacher who was the daughter of Emperor Meiji, or how he had a brief encounter with Sam Maloof that helped get him going on his own work.
Roy Underhill is the host and creator of The Woodwright's Shop TV series focused on traditional American woodworking. After 37 years and over 400 episodes it is one of the longest running "how to" shows on PBS. Using only the hand tools of early America, Roy proves that woodworking doesn’t have to be noisy, dangerous or expensive. His insights into the principles of the craft reveal the enduring relationship between tools, and material between human hands and creations of culture.
