#TIL we could be making #satellites out of wood, using traditional #joinery without glue or screws.

Idunno if I should tag this with #lowtech . It probably falls under the #solarpunk umbrella.
But the low/high tech split is silly anyway.

In custom cabinetry and built-in furniture design, accuracy from the very first step prevents costly errors and ensures a perfect fit. This guide details the complete workflow for a compact wardrobe project — from interpreting a detailed site survey to creating a fully parametric 3D model and produc
There's a ritual every carpenter or furniture maker knows. It's the walk into the workshop the next morning after a glue-up with your cup of coffee/tea in your hand (sometimes followed by a dog or cat).
It's a good feeling.
(Unless you find a surprise error in your previous-day's thinking. No surprises here yet).
"Squish-out" – something you love to see in cookies and woodworking/joinery, but not so much in subways and tailor shops.
Doing some glue-ups and it's gone pretty well today. A bit more cutting and assembly tomorrow and hopefully finishing this secondary workbench build.
Ciaran (My son) came home from school with his finished wood work projects that he has been working on, they turned out nicely and delighted he had the opportunity to do the class.
I say this often if kids with disabilities are given a fair chance with the right help and support, they can flourish and thrive.
Aftermath of the glue-up of the shed door replacement. Just the panel, much to do still.
And I remembered to line my work surface with plastic so I didn't glue the door to the workbench.
Seems nicely flat. Nobody can say "you never caul." 🤣
I've got wood! Er, boards acquired to make the aforementioned shed door, that is.
Going for a classic design. Tongue-and-groove pine with some 1x4" reinforcing framework.
I've been experimenting with box joinery on my CNC recently and was curious about the differences in glue surface area and voids. Naturally, I modeled and simulated a bunch of them. Maybe this is helpful to somebody else as well 😅
I’ve been experimenting with woodworking joinery that can be cut flat (without vertical workholding) on a CNC. There are lots of examples of these joints online, and I don’t have any new ones to share, but I did model and CAM a bunch of them to compare relative glue surface area and internal voids. Maybe that information is helpful to somebody.
...and now before I can cut another piece of wood I need to make a bunch of jigs. Mesmerising, surprisingly simple and possibly very useful set of jigs for different wood cuts.
My first isukatsugi rabbeted joint to make a longer board from scrap
Learned that I need to account for the kerf and cut half a millimeter off the line, and always cut with both hands: the worst, wobbly cut was when I had one hand an the handle, another to stabilize the blade od my #dozuki. Not needed!
