THE WOOD WHISPERER IS PROUDLY SPONSORED BY:
This is an excerpt from the live Demo Night that took place 7/23/08. The topic was creating Greene & Greene style joint for the Gadget Station project. Its a long video, but lots of details were covered and numerous questions were thrown out by the chat room. This was our best turnout yet w...
...4 inch doors with rails and stiles that are only 1 1/4″ wide, (3/4 stock). Since the rails and stiles are so narrow the plans call for a bridle joint. If advisable, I’d like to instead use a mitered joint reinforced with a 5 x 30 mm Domino in the middle of the joint. It’s very i...

If the joint is going to fail, it will usually fail in the wood fibers adjacent to the joint. You can actually test this yourself with scraps. Just edge joi...

This Viewer Project comes from Margaret from Magnolia Works. Let’s hear what she has to say! I decided to answer your challenge to build a Gadget Station. I built one in Greene & Greene style, designed after a lantern in the Gamble House in Pasadena, California. My Station is made of ge...
A beautiful frame done in the Greene & Greene style and inspired by a Shaker photograph....
The inspiration for the frame was borne directly from Darrell Peart’s website (The frame is a gift to my wife). I intended to duplicate his frame (on a much smaller scale) for this project but decided upon a continual radius for the bottom rail. All frame joints are mortise and tenon with sol...

...ldn’t afford to order good wood for this. But I had been given a stack of pallets so that’s what I used. I believe they are oak. I have a jointer but I don’t have a planer. So after removing nails and a very thorough inspection for any other foreign materials, I dimensioned them ...
