Chatting to other philosophers over an evening drink or two, I've come to realise that it's variety in all things which really increases one's enjoyment of the simple pleasures in life. Although we all appreciate the homeliness and convenience of our own workshops, any jobbing carpenter will tell you it's the unexpected challenges of site work that can make it so enjoyable (some cynics might say endurable), and can provide the…

Welcome

  Didn’t it make you feel just a tiny bit smug, watching that episode of The Apprentice where the would-be entrepreneurs tried to design and make a piece of flatpack furniture? The heroes and heroines of this month’s issue don’t know the meaning of the word smug. We’ve got Ludvig Solvang talking to the boat builders who protect the heritage of their very different techniques in the Arctic Circle…

There’s something magical about the word ‘weekend’. If we are at work, and however much we might enjoy what we do for a living, by the time we get to Wednesday we know we are halfway towards the next weekend. In our imagination those Saturdays and Sundays are filled with sun and laughter, but of course the reality is all too often grey skies and family disagreement. If we are retired, then we will still probably be living…

I think we all like to feel part of something, that we belong. Here at The Woodworker that's exactly the case, whether you're a regular reader, a contributor, or just an occasional browser in your local newsagent. If you're a woodworker, you're part of an extended family that reaches right around the world. We all share common interests as well as a desire to further our woodworking knowledge and experience, and maybe to improve…
