But on the other hand, the book is free as a pdf. It is, after all, about workbenches (the birdhouses of the intermediate woodworker clan). On the one hand, I am not surprised to see this book on the list.

If you are interested in how to design (and build) a kitchen that is in context for your house, this is the book.ħ. It’s a fantastic book, as is everything Nancy writes. I was a little surprised by this one because it was released in the summer of 2020. I’ve been told by readers that it is a nice text on classical casework.Ĩ. This book is one of the few in print on this style of furniture, which my grandparents collected for many years. Campaign Furniture by Christopher Schwarz. It found an audience among people who restore old buildings.ĩ. This small book is a reprint of two historical texts brought to our attention by joiner Richard Arnold. Doormaking and Window Making by Anonymous. After some ciphering, I came up with a list that had a few surprises.ġ0. Until today, I had only a gut feeling about it, but I’d never really looked at the statistics.

That way as the boards dry, they will all move in unison and keep the joints closed. I glue up my legs so the heart side of one board faces the bark side of its neighbor. If you need to laminate the construction lumber face to face – such as gluing up four layers to make a big workbench leg – you should use the above fact to your advantage. The heart side of the board (the inside of the tree) tends to bow out. When wood loses moisture, the bark side of the board (the outside of the tree) tends to cup. That means that as the wood dries to your shop’s equilibrium moisture content, the board is going to move a bit on you. I’ve bought about four metric tons of it in my time, and it seems to come in about 14 percent to 18 percent moisture content on average.
And I don’t blame you – the ideas of right and wrong, correct and incorrect were being juggled furiously in the entry.Ĭonstruction lumber is usually sold in a wetter state than furniture wood. Some people were left confused by the correction to “ The Anarchist’s Workbench” I posted yesterday.
