WELCOME
here is a dichotomy in woodworking – split thinking if you will.
On the one hand are bright new power tools which make many
operations much simpler – who would use an axe to fell a tree
when a chainsaw does it so much quicker and better?
On the other hand, you might get the bug to try something
simple and satisfying like knife carving, pyrography or small lathe
turning. Could a traditional, textured inish – even a few visible
tool markings – give your project more character than a smooth,
mirrored surface that could have been made by a machine?
he new-look
Woodworking Crafts
is packed with projects,
techniques and tools to boost your skills. Whether you want
to start out on the road to self-discovery with woodworking in
all its various guises, learn machining techniques or restore
and upcycle salvaged items, you will ind something of interest
in our pages.
Some things don’t change. We will always need good hand
skills, good hand-eye coordination and an appreciation of aesthetics:
a project doesn’t just need to be functional, it needs to look good too.
his all takes time, patience and self-belief, so come along with us on
your creative journey.
