    ARC 328W / 392W Wood Design Instructor – Mark Maček Unique # 00780 / 01195 [email protected] Spring 2019 office hours TTh 2:30 - 5:30 pm by appointment Build Lab GOL 1.101 GOL 3.106 Objectives Practice woodworking skills: tool sharpening, layout, millwork, joinery, gluing, & sanding. Learn the characteristics of the material wood, including specific species. Analyze the strength of wood joints. Design a piece of furniture based on a program, with materials and techniques in mind. Understand the point of view of the maker within the design process. Complete the final project. Schedule The first six weeks, we practice solid wood joinery using hand tools and power tools. This is a crucial time to attend every day and stay current. There will be an assignment each week due on Tuesday morning. Students sharpen chisels and mill lumber so it’s flat and straight. Our discussions are grounded in wood’s cellular structure and anisotropy. Strength derives from long grain, weakness from the lack of long grain. Changing moisture content creates expansion and contraction in predictable ways. We will study furniture design history and visit the shops of Austin craftspeople to see how they work. The final project is one piece of furniture of your choice of program. It must be mostly solid wood, no digital fabrication, and no larger than 25 cubic feet. Final project design assignments include sketches, scaled drawings, models at 3”=1’-0”, and full-scale mock-ups. The class holds two design reviews before construction begins, allowing seven weeks for completion. The class participates in school-wide final reviews with other design studios.

  • Hand Saws Hand Saws Have Evolved to fill Many Niches and Cutting Styles
    Source: https://www.garagetooladvisor.com/hand-tools/different-types-of-saws-and-their-uses/ Hand Saws Hand saws have evolved to fill many niches and cutting styles. Some saws are general purpose tools, such as the traditional hand saw, while others were designed for specific applications, such as the keyhole saw. No tool collection is complete without at least one of each of these, while practical craftsmen may only purchase the tools which fit their individual usage patterns, such as framing or trim. Back Saw A back saw is a relatively short saw with a narrow blade that is reinforced along the upper edge, giving it the name. Back saws are commonly used with miter boxes and in other applications which require a consistently fine, straight cut. Back saws may also be called miter saws or tenon saws, depending on saw design, intended use, and region. Bow Saw Another type of crosscut saw, the bow saw is more at home outdoors than inside. It uses a relatively long blade with numerous crosscut teeth designed to remove material while pushing and pulling. Bow saws are used for trimming trees, pruning, and cutting logs, but may be used for other rough cuts as well. Coping Saw With a thin, narrow blade, the coping saw is ideal for trim work, scrolling, and any other cutting which requires precision and intricate cuts. Coping saws can be used to cut a wide variety of materials, and can be found in the toolkits of everyone from carpenters and plumbers to toy and furniture makers. Crosscut Saw Designed specifically for rough cutting wood, a crosscut saw has a comparatively thick blade, with large, beveled teeth.

  • Tools of the Cabinetmaker, but Also Like the Cartwright, the Hatchet (Handbeil) and the Drawknife (Schneidemesser)
    CHAPTER FIVE The Chairmaker The chairmaker bears the name in common with English chairmakers presumably because his trade is originally transplanted from England to Germany, or because several types of chairs that are made in his workshop have been common first in England. In the making of chairs, the settee (Canape), and sofa, he wields not only the plane and other tools of the cabinetmaker, but also like the cartwright, the hatchet (Handbeil) and the drawknife (Schneidemesser). I. In most regions, and especially in the German coastal cities, chairmakers make their chairs out of red beech wood, in Magdeburg out of linden wood, and in Berlin out of serviceberry wood (Elsenholz). Red beech is lacking in our area, and the cabinetmaker, who before the arrival to Berlin of chairmakers that made wooden chair frames, chose therefore serviceberry wood in place of red beech. Likewise the chairmakers, when they arrived in Berlin, found that circumstances also compelled them to build their chairs out of serviceberry wood. If the customer explicitly requires it, and will pay especially for it, they sometimes build chairs out of walnut, plum wood, pearwood, and mahogany wood, and for very distinguished and wealthy persons out of cedarwood. The chairmaker obtains the serviceberry wood partly in boards that are one to five inches thick and partly in logs. The farmer in the [town of] Mark Brandenburg brings this wood, partly in logs and also in boards, to Berlin to sell, but the strongest and best comes from Poland. If the wood has not sufficiently dried when purchased by the chairmaker it must stay some time longer and properly dry.

  • February 2004 Fleam
    True Japanese Dovetail Saws 2 new rip-tooth dozuki saws are efficient dovetailers. utting dovetail pins and tails is primarily a ripping C operation. So it has always bewildered me that almost every Japanese saw sold for dovetailing had teeth designed for crosscut- ting or cutting plywood. A few specialty importers do sell Japanese backsaws with a rip- tooth configuration, but these are made mostly by hand and cost between $140 and $1,500. Why, I wonder, isn’t there a machine-made dozuki that sells for about $35 – the cost of a de- cent crosscutting dozuki? Well, I don’t have the answer yet, but the two new rip-tooth dozukis on the market are considerably less expensive (between $70 and $80). To check the quality, I com- pared them to a premium rip- tooth dozuki that I’m quite fa- miliar with – the Kaneharu rip- ping dozuki, sold by Hiraide America for $182 (see the Sources box for more information). Sure they look like standard dozukis, but these saws have rip teeth.We by Christopher Schwarz compare the Kaneharu (in use) with new saws from Harima-Daizo (left) Comments or questions?

    Howard Brady WOOD DESIGNS Copyright © 2019 by Howard L. Brady Note: Every item shown in this album was an original, one-of-a-kind design. The design process from concept through crafting to the finished item is a source of incredible satisfaction to me, and a process that extends well beyond woodworking into music composition, and (with my brother) creation of innovative educational materials. A few years before I retired, Dave Campbell, a senior engineer and friend at Skydata where I worked, remarked that as a writer of technical communications documents for satellite communications equipment, I was an “information designer.” Those were kind works, and, I hope, accurate. This octogenarian loves designing. ii Toys for my great-grandson, Mason: The front-end loader and dump truck were my first major toy designs, built November 2017. Most solid wood is poplar, plywood parts are Baltic birch, dark wood is Indian rosewood, from a local tree destroyed in one of the 2004 hurricanes. Metal parts were aluminum (truck bed edge rails, front end loader bucket and crosspiece), brass (truck steering components) and stainless steel (all fasteners, operating levers). Lever and knob above truck cab controls steering. 1 Built March 2018: Toy box for Mason’s third birthday, May 6th: 2 November 2018: Toy flat-bed wrecker and grumpy wrecked race car for Mason’s Christmas. One of Mason’s parent’s close friends is Tim Daugherty, who races his #88 car (so far NOT wrecked) in figure-8 races at the Antelope Valley Fairgrounds in Southern California. I hope he didn’t mind my version.

The head is forged (machine forged), and the handle is some nicely grained american hickory wood. The poll can be used as a hammer. The Small Forest Axe (SFA) is really targeted at nordic forests, so its head is very thin and concave after the bevel, excellent for limbing and cutting in soft green woods. It is very well balanced, and handling it is a pleasure. It comes with a sturdy leather head protection.

  • Paradoxical Territories of Traditional and Digital Crafts in Japanese Joinery
    Paradoxical Territories of Traditional and Digital Crafts in Japanese Joinery While one can argue that a certain traditional craft such as Japanese Joinery should remain adhered to its processes, materials and methods, others could see potential possibilities that might be explored through applying contemporary technological advancements such as digital fabrication and engineered timber. This can only leave us with more questions than answers; what are the advantages and the possibili- ties? Does technology offer a “one size fits all” solution to any building material, or are there profound limitations? Where do we draw the line between traditional and contemporary craftsmanship? INTRODUCTION AHMED K. ALI When Torashichi Sumiyoshi and Gengo Matsui wrote their 1989 book titled Wood Joints in Texas A&M University Classical Japanese Architecture, Computer Numerically Controlled technology (CNC) and digital fabrication methods as we know it today were still in its infancy. While Japanese join- ery has traditionally been reserved for solid heavy timber, the increased use of both CNC and engineered timber (CLT, Glulam, LVL,..etc) as a sustainable material and an alternative to concrete and steel gives rise to number of interesting questions. While one can argue that a certain traditional craft such as Japanese Joinery should remain adhered to its pro- cesses, materials and methods, others could see potential possibilities that might be explored through applying contemporary technological advancements such as digital fabrication and engineered
