CubsFan Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 Any preview on the Wall Cabinet for next month? I'm hoping it'll be strong enough to hold a bunch of magazines, since I need a place to put all my woodworking ones! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewoodwhisperer Posted December 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 we did a preview during the live holiday party, which you can view on the site. But we are very close to releasing the plan. Stay tuned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyG Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 Hey Marc, as a suggestion for a future guild build, I would love to see you build a Krenov style cabinet (and work along aswell). Only a suggestion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewoodwhisperer Posted January 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 That's a good one. Since we're doing a cabinet right now, it might be a while before we get to something like that. But a Krenov cabinet has always been on my personal to-do list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertGiovannini Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Marc - as a suggestion I would love to build a rolling/sliding laptop table. There are several variations from simple to complex. I have attached an example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jHop Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Oh, and a Viking longship. That'd be a fun summer camp group build. Or perhaps a large wooden rabbit. Already got one. And Paul-Marcel, I like the idea of a chair with ebonized wood and carbonized metal accents... Perhaps acid or chemical etching... maybe some electro etching.... brass with etching tied in with brass tacks and hardware.... If I wasn't saving up to buy that Guild membership at the end of February (Fair Warning, all! ), I'd start getting supplies for the chair now...

ChetlovesMer Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Okay dumb question coming from the ignorant guy in Iowa. Does the guild have to build furniture or gifts? Can the guild do a shop project? I'm thinking a crosscut sled or a Miter saw station or a router table? Tool cabinet workbench etc.... How about a block plane? I've always heard that the block plane to a woodworker is like the light saber to a jedi. In order to actually become a woodworker you have to build your own.

Beechwood Chip Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Well, the last Guild Build was twelve videos, so I'm not sure that a crosscut sled would provide enough material. I think Marc likes to do "fine furniture" so that he can talk about aesthetics at the beginning and finishing at the end. Wood choice, grain matching, stuff like that. On the other hand, the first Guild Build was a shop project, a wall hanging tool chest. "Only" five videos, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xaemian Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Sorry if this has already been suggested, I did not read every post in this thread. How about that bed frame to go with the chest of drawers? I'd love to build along with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewoodwhisperer Posted January 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 I will be doing a bed sometime this year, but not sure if I will go with the same style or not. I think I have woodworkers OCD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 I want to do a "Japanese" style bed. Low slung with integral night stands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome! No matter the style, I'm going to try and customize it the way I want anyway. I look forward to that project! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulMarcel Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 So a Japanese-style bed is kinda easy... it's a fold-up mattress called a futon (that has nothing to do with what we call 'futons'), a sheet, a rice-husk filled pillow, and a comforter. It's on the floor. If you have a floor, consider this build done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteJr Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 I'm always up for building a clock! There are easy builds and more advanced level builds. The New Yankee Workshop wall clock would be fun to build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunshineGerl Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 Hey Marc. After you posted that link to the beautiful marquetry and inlay from http://inlay-arts.com/ I thought that would be a great guild build where you could have a section on implementing marquetry into a piece of furniture. I've always wanted to learn how to do marquetry and being able to do a little marquetry into my furniture builds would be such a special touch to the entire furniture building process. This would allow each of us to put our personal flare into our own piece. And, for those who are not interesting in the Marquetry/Inlay part they can just build the furniture piece as is. Just a thought. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

momwow Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 Instead of a project based on "skills," I suggest a "techniques" guild build based on "knowledge" that can result in each member, and our esteemed host, making multiple projects for this guild build. What a guild build that would be, right? ALL of them different. Specifically, multi-sided projects drive me nuts. 45 and 22.5 degree miters are bad enough. But what if you want an 8-sided (or more sided) project? Say, a right-circular 1 foot high, six sided planter. What angle do you set for the bevels now? What if I want the base to be 6" across and the top to be 10" across? What are the corresponding compound angles needed? How do I cut the groove for a bottom on this? How do you clamp together such a beast for glue up? I bet we need miter splines to strengthen these joints. The ultimate end point for me would be having the "knowledge" to cut staves for an oak barrel such as a whiskey barrel (that has a seemingly endless number of sides and thicker at the middle than at the top or bottom) and the knowledge for clamping that beast together for glue up, cutting the top and bottom and the grooves to accept the top and bottoms, never mind the dimensions and rabbits needed on the top and bottom panels. Did I mention brass bands to strap the thing together? This should allow us to take a compound miter saw to its absolute limits and make it beg for mercy. We can teach that tool a thing or two! This should allow us to take Incra measuring devices and miter gauges on a true test drive (did you ever hear them brag about the accuracy of their tools?)and really kick the tires on those suckers! What do you say? Lets rev our woodworking skills up and taker them out for a spin. I can see multi-sided jewelry boxes, multi-sided picture frames where the outside edges stand proud from the wall, multi-sided planting pots, 5-sided frames for flags and a lot of other projects coming into our skill set. I know there are a lot of people out there smarter than I am and can envision projects using this knowledge that would blow everyone's socks right off! I cannot wait to tackle one of those projects. What do you say? Lets go for it and get away from the "flat" 4-sided projects and launch our woodworking skills high and proud! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgelburd Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 Workbench - even though I have a useable workbench inherited from a real woodworker, it is not up to the quality and functionality standards I'd like to have. I've got to build one but lack the skills and confidence to do it right. It needs the right clamping mechanisms, stability and craftsmanship. A GuildBuild would be great.

John V. Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 What a great idea! Rather than "lets all build the same thing together", make it "let's all build something using this technique or component or basic shape". It would still have to have some rough limits so people can have a few basic boundaries to work within but still be free to take it where they want to. I like the idea. If you wanted to follow Marc, then you could, but would be encouraged to spread your woodworking wings a bit more. Hell, if it doesn't work the next build could go back to the tried and true approach. It's worth a shot....

I say let's all vote to kick momwow out of the guild for suggesting such a thing!! lol Just kidding! My wife already says that I spend to much time in the shop. If I was to try and build a eight sided ANYTHING, I would probably explode and get a divorce. I really like the idea of either a bed or a Perfectly designed Workbench.

thewoodwhisperer Posted July 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 I do like the idea of a technique-based build. Bent lamination could very well be one such technique that could be pulled into numerous projects. Also works well for me since I did plan on doing the crib build with bent lam.

dvoigt Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 Things that I would like to see you build: Bent lam crib (like you mentioned) Solid wood interior door with some interesting wood combinations or details Grandfather clock (if people still have those) Chairs for a dining table (the table is easy enough but I find chairs intimidating, but by all means, do a table too) Rocking chair (maybe some bent wood lam there too). Maybe a few others… but I can’t remember all of them right now.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
