Throwback Thursday: Know the Code Before Starting Your Next Building Project

What’s the Building Code for Housewrap Installation?

"Code? What code?" Often the building code for water-resistive-barrier installation isn't followed. When the WRB leaks, water can get into the wall and lead to mold and rot. Years can go by before a leak is discovered and by then the damage can be extensive. In this article, Mike Guertin digs into the 2018 IRC requirements for exterior coverings, which also include the housewrap manufacturer installation instructions.

Brian Boggs demonstrates how to get the most out of your spokeshave

Hello, Reclaimed !

A spokeshave is a very nimble plane with a short sole that can follow convex and concave surfaces. A good shave can follow an S-curve and leave a surface that needs little further attention, but it takes practice. Because of its design, the slightest thumb pressure can affect the depth and angle of the cut. In this video, Brian Boggs, chair maker and teacher, demonstrates the technique you’ll need to master the well-tuned shave.

Brian will be a featured presenter at Fine Woodworking Live 2019, at the Southbridge Hotel and Conference Center in Southbridge, Mass., the weekend of April 26-28. Over the weekend, you’ll have the opportunity to learn from many woodworking masters. We’ve put together a full program of classroom instruction and technique demonstrations to help you expand your skills. Sign up now - tickets are going fast.

Use a story stick for more accurate work

Saturday, March 2, 2019

View in Browser

Hello, Reclaimed !

Sometimes it’s easier, and even more accurate, to toss away your tape measure when laying out joinery for a furniture project. Learning how to use a story stick will help you avoid measurement errors and ensure precise repeatability when cutting furniture parts. In many cases, you can almost toss away your printed plans and lay out an entire piece of furniture – joinery and all – on a single piece of wood. In this video, Bob Van Dyke demonstrates how to use a story stick to accurately repeat cuts and map out all the measurements necessary to bring your piece to life. Measure once and cut 100 times!

Bob will be a featured presenter at Fine Woodworking Live 2019, at the Southbridge Hotel and Conference Center in Southbridge, Mass., the weekend of April 26-28.Over the weekend, you’ll have the opportunity to learn from many woodworking masters. We’ve put together a full program of classroom instruction and technique demonstrations to help you expand your skills. Sign up now - tickets are going fast.

Hello, Reclaimed !

Peter Galbert has been making hand-crafted chairs in the Windsor tradition for as long as we’ve known him. An active teacher, writer, and toolmaker, Peter writes the Chairnotes blog, has developed multiple tools, and published his first book, Chairmaker's Notebook, in 2015. He operates a school in Rollinsford, N.H., dedicated to teaching chairmaking to students of all levels. Last year, he took Fine Woodworking Live 2018 attendees on an inspirational journey through his life as a woodworker and artist. Watch it here in this members-only video.

This year, Peter will be at Fine Woodworking Live again, but instead of speaking he’ll be hard at work building one of his favorite designs, a barstool with turned, bent legs. Peter will be making the stool all weekend, using traditional Windsor joinery and kiln-dried woods. Folks who attend will be able to stop by throughout the weekend and watch and ask questions.

Someone might say, 'Well, that kind of looks like your last piece,' but in fact one part is different from the last piece. Changing a variable spins the piece in a different direction.”
