Build a Canoe in 2019

This could be your first project in 2018. Make a canoe. By the time you've finished the project, it'll be spring and with the weather warmer it'll be the perfect time to get out on the water.

This how-to video was posted by Jimmy Diresta. This is his first canoe build. He says: "I learned lots on this build. I genuinely "went to school" on this one!"

Thank you to Jimmy!

Mortise Chisels and Bits

Solve Plane Issues

Another person on YouTube whose videos we like is Rob Cossman. He makes instructional videos about tooling and is a hand-tool coach who tours the world.

In the video below Rob deals with issues revolving around hand planes. If you do woodworking with a hand plane, take a look! 

Classic Garden Shed

The classic garden shed. Whether it's to store tools, to use as a woodworking shop or as a space to relax away from hectic family life, the garden shed is a staple of any English garden. Look how the design has been modernised yet it harks back to the classic style. Anyway, we'd ReTweeted a design from CJC Carpentry who're based in Newbury. 

A garden shed is a carpentry classic. No British garden is complete without one. https://t.co/x8wdyEUcL0

A Counter Top from Red Oak Wood

Here is a recently uploaded video from Matthew Cremona who makes fine furniture with both hand and power tools. His YouTube profile says: "I start with cutting down a tree. My designs have a clean straight line look but I also really enjoy building period pieces."

In this video he makes a counter top for his parent's laundry room. His father asked Matthew to make the counter from any kind of wood and in this case he used red oak slabs.
