Z tej lipy będę robił siedzenie do #fotelbujany. W planach miałem pomalowanie jej na czarny mat, ale zaskoczyła mnie pozytywnie i może zostawię niemalowaną.#windsor #lipa #boxwood

W końcu ogarnąłem w piwnicy miejsce, gdzie mam zamiar zrobić parę krzeseł 🐢 #piwnica #windsor #powoli #slow ty this is place where I hope to make some #Windsor #chairs starting with @petergalbert rocker form @finewoodworkingmagazine article

I think I am addicted to green wood turning. I got some dried out bowls waiting to be finish turned and sanded, but instead I am rough turning more bowls. #woodturning #toczenie #drewno #miska

A “little” wobbly, my little lathe (bowl has a different moisture content in different places)

This one pushed limits of my small lathe. Also I have learned how to not hold a gauge when turning offbalanced piece. My thumb took a beating.

I find Kylle Sebree works very appealing. Simple, very warm. I just want to touch them, no sharp edges, following the grain with curves etc. I really like those small adjustment he makes. He also have a blog, where he documents process of creating his pieces, worth a read.


If you could do only 3 joints, what joints would you choose?

Open mortise and tenon (bridal joint) they are simple and incredibly
Dovetails…of course , Edge joint.

What are top 5 most used power tools/machines in your shop?

 I would say the most used is a well-tuned bandsaw. Then, after that would be be about the same from jointer/planer/table saw/festool domino  

What is in your opinion most common mistake, made by beginners?

Trying to overuse power tools in the beginning and not hone on your hand tool skills, sharping is also very important.

What in your opinion is not taught to beginners but is essential to beginners

Explore and do not put design over craftsmanship. Learn to build well, while incorporating good design.

If you could recommend only 1 book to aspiring woodworker, what would it be?

Books, I’m not biggest reader but the one that really got me into the kind of work I enjoy was Fine Art of Cabinetmaking by James Krenov
