Wikibooks has more on the topic of Woodworking. |
Welcome to the Wood Workshop of the Division of Craft Arts (part of the School of Fine Arts) at Wikiversity. The workshop is just starting up, and we welcome all contributions. We need to work on ideas for a syllabus, textbook (over at wikibooks), and ancillary materials such as worksheets and exams. Also, standard layouts etc. for technical drawings for the Workshop.
[edit] Comments
Woodwork is something that I shall try my hand at sometime soon, fine woodwork is exciting stuff, how do they make those beautiful artifacts?
My suggestion for a standard layout of technical drawings is a free resource provided by Google, called Google SketchUp. This program is available for download free of charge from Google for anyone. Many woodworking publications are using this program for woodworking project plans, because it is available to everyone, and provides powerful resources for creating three dimensional models, and the ability to produce video of all views of three dimensional project plans. The program is easily mastered by anyone that can use a personal computer and mouse. In contrast traditional drafting can take years to master, and become expensive to scan. CAD programs are far more difficult and expensive. Without a doubt, all woodworkers will benefit from this free resource that can preserve and create a beautifully rich environment for new exponents of our craft.
