The Way Wood Works -- What Every
Woodworker Needs to Know About Wood. 3rd November 2021
Workshop
Companion
673,814 views 3 Nov 2021 #gravity #wood #strength
If you are a novice woodworker, this is stuff you absolutely
need to know before you cut another board. If you’re a master craftsman, you
know it well enough to understand that a quick review never hurts. And if
you’re somewhere in between, this may fill in some important gaps. What I
present here is the very foundation of wood technology; the way wood works as a
construction material and the basic concepts you must keep in mind to get it to
work for you. Novice or master, please understand that these are the just the
basics. Wood is an incredibly complex material, more than I could explain in a
zillion videos. Additionally, there are hundreds of wood species each with
different botanical, physical, and mechanical properties. If you would like to
explore wood’s characteristics in depth, or just look up the properties of a
single species, there is an amazing book that you should have. “The Wood
Handbook: Wood as an Engineering Material” is published by the United States
Forest Products Laboratory as a FREE service for those of us who rely upon wood
and wood products for our livelihood and well-being. You can download a PDF copy
free from our store at https://workshopcompanionstore.com/pr... or you can get it
straight from the USFPS web site at https://www.fpl.fs.usda.gov/documnts/.... If you prefer a
condensed version aimed at craftsmen and woodworkers – and if you’d like to
support this channel – consider my book “Wood and Woodworking Materials”
available here: https://workshopcompanionstore.com/pr... . To see all of
our videos and SUBSCRIBE for more, see: / workshopcompanion

Finding the Perfect Finish, 16th March 2022

Experienced craftsmen and women all have a "go-to" finish -- a versatile wood finish that takes minimal time and effort to apply. They use this for most projects, simplifying their finishing needs. These needs vary, so Nick shows how to find your personal go-to finish from the hundreds of choices that are available to you. He starts with some basic "coating chemistry" to reduce confusion and help you make an informed choice. Then he walks you though a simple experiment designed to compare the characteristics of popular commercial finishes.

He has also updated a section from his finishing book on reading wood finish labels and Safety Data Sheets titled "Labels and Data Sheets: Incomplete Information." This too is available for FREE at https://workshopcompanionstore.com/pr... .

If you prepare your own lumber, will it work just as well as
wood bought from a commercial source? The answer is a qualified yes. If you
have properly dried and stabilized the wood, it will work just the same. But
there will be some differences that require you to “read the grain” more
closely. The wood will be a mix of grades – selects, firsts, seconds, and
commons – with more sapwood and less heartwood than is usual, especially if you
have lumbered small-diameter logs and limbs. In this video, Nick unstacks the
walnut lumber he cut from firewood just over a year ago, and then builds a
miniature mule chest using only that wood. He explains what parts of the
building process are affected by using air-dried wood cut from small bolts,
walks you step by step through the building process, and shows how to deal with
the challenges. You arrive at a product that is very definitely a piece of fine
woodworking even though the materials were salvaged from firewood. The FIREWOOD
CHEST PROJECT PLAN, along with FULL-SIZE PATTERNS dimensions in both Imperial
and metric, is available in PDF format from the Workshop Companion General
store at https://workshopcompanionstore.com/pr... . And if you'd
like to have the plan for the ASSEMBLY TABLE that we show when gluing up the
parts of the chest, find it at https://workshopcompanionstore.com/pr... . To see all of
