- [How should I store batteries?](https://canadianwoodworking.com/ask-an-expert/how-to-store-batteries/) - Store them at a partial charge, typically around 40-60%. Storing them fully charged or completely discharged can stress the cells and reduce their lifespan.

- [Are pocket screws just as strong as dowels?](https://canadianwoodworking.com/ask-an-expert/are-pocket-screws-just-as-strong-as-dowels/) - Pocket screws are generally not as strong as dowels for most woodworking joints, especially when it comes to shear strength (forces trying to slide the joint apart) and pull-apart strength.
- [Does Lysol prevent mould?](https://canadianwoodworking.com/ask-an-expert/does-lysol-prevent-mould/) - Lysol might help temporarily by killing mold spores on the surface of the wood, but it’s not a reliable method for preventing mold during the drying process.

## From Robs Bench

- [Safety isn't sexy](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/safety-isnt-sexy/) - Over the past few weeks I've been spending time with a student who's been working wood for about 15 years.
- [Things I know little about](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/things-i-know-little-about/) - My new shop build is slowly, but surely, moving forward. Design decisions are made, drawings get updated, I review them, the cycle repeats.
- [Deep into the cracks](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/deep-into-the-cracks/) - I love the warmer weather, though I could live without all the outdoor chores that come with rising temperatures.
- [Why did it take you so long to build that, Rob?](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/why-did-it-take-you-so-long-to-build-that-rob/) - There are many projects I build that I could otherwise purchase elsewhere. I'm guessing that's true for pretty much all woodworkers.

- [Finishing a project on December 24?](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/finishing-a-project-on-december-24/) - It’s that time of year again. Last-minute projects are fun, but they’re also stressful, especially when it comes to applying a finish.

- [Why do you use social media?](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/why-do-you-use-social-media/) - Not to brag, but we at Canadian Woodworking & Home Improvement have been on a bit of a social media tear lately.
- [Doors and drawer fronts are great opportunities](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/doors-and-drawer-fronts-are-great-opportunities/) - By their nature, doors are very functional. Drawer fronts might not have the same level of importance, but they still provide an attractive, clean look on furniture and cabinetry.
- [Dangerous woodworking videos?](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/dangerous-woodworking-videos/) - Since I’ve been spending more time on Instagram lately, I’ve noticed that I’m wincing at a lot more videos than I had anticipated.
- [Halloween costumes: a gateway woodworking project](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/halloween-costumes-a-gateway-woodworking-project/) - My son likes to spend time in the shop, but only if it doesn’t drag on for longer than an hour, maybe two.

- [Simple jigs are the best jigs](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/simple-jigs-are-the-best-jigs/) - About a year ago I wrote about a trim job I was doing around the house. And last week I wrote about lugging my beast of a mitre saw around, much to the dismay of my poor back. The topic of this week’s column fits in right between those two.
- [Who will speak for the small tools?](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/who-will-speak-for-the-small-tools/) - Decades ago, most hand-held power tools and portable machines were on the small side.

- [A finished project, happily ruined](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/a-finished-project-happily-ruined/) - I’m sure all of us take a lot of time, energy and attention to complete a project to the best of our abilities. Sure, some get more attention than others, but I find it hard to cut corners on even the simplest project.
- [Show me your hammers!](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/show-me-your-hammers/) - Last week’s post about the hammer my father made in machine shop class in the late 1960s, and that I still use today, generated a lot of interest.
- [Shellac: The best finish ever?](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/shellac-the-best-finish-ever/) - Shellac is a traditional finish that has been used by furniture makers for centuries and remains beneficial to woodworkers today.
- [Charcuterie board gift and planer cart update](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/charcuterie-board-gift-and-planer-cart-update/) - A good friend of mine enjoys cooking and hosting dinners. His birthday was coming up, so I decided a charcuterie board would make a good gift.
- [Saving scraps: a rare success story](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/saving-scraps-a-rare-success-story/) - Most woodworkers are guilty of saving a few too many workshop scraps. Whether it’s bits of domestic hardwood, offcuts of sheet goods or the always valuable small exotic offcuts, we could all keep less than we do. But once in a while our hoarding pays off.
- [David Haig: master of simplicity](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/david-haig-master-of-simplicity/) - When I’m planning Canadian Woodworking & Home Improvement I stick with Canadian writers, photographers and illustrators. We feel there’s a solid benefit in having only Canadians on our pages. Giving a Canadian perspective on woodworking is something we’ve heard our readers appreciate, too.
- [Wooden spoons: sometimes the simplest things take the longest](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/wooden-spoons-sometimes-the-simplest-things-take-the-longest/) - You might remember I mentioned my son was making a wooden spoon last June as a thank you gift for his teacher . Well, it took some time, but we…I mean he…finally finished it.
- [Hammer time!](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/hammer-time/) - All woodworkers love tools. Sometimes, I think many of us love woodworking tools more than the actual woodworking.
- [Lessons learned: a 13-year-old in the shop](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/lessons-learned-a-13-year-old-in-the-shop/) - A few weeks ago, I wrote about the time my daughter and I spent in the shop building a model of a mosque for her school project.
- [Models make the furniture design world go 'round](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/models-make-the-furniture-design-world-go-round/) - With my column a couple of weeks ago sharing the mosque model my daughter and I made for her school project, it reminded me of some of the furniture models I’ve made in the past.

- [A foot to stand on](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/a-foot-to-stand-on/) - It’s one of the final pieces of the puzzle as you build a piece of furniture, a jewelry box or other piece of woodwork: adding some sort of foot to the piece.

- [Laminate competition](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/laminate-competition/) - We all love solid wood. Its grain, colour, warm texture and workability have drawn all of us to build so many great projects with it. In the woodworking world there are a few general approaches to working with wood and other materials that run contrary to what many woodworkers feel is best.
- [How beautiful are live edge slabs?](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/how-beautiful-are-live-edge-slabs/) - I’ve often wondered what’s so appealing about live edge material. I guess there’s a certain allure to working with not only a material that’s naturally grown (as is the case with all wood), but also a material that still has obvious signs of its natural, imperfect growth remaining.
- [Linkage hinge and Niagara woodcarving show](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/linkage-hinge-and-niagara-woodcarving-show/) - A few weeks ago, I wrote about a box I came across on the internet that reminded me of one I had made previously.
- [Crazy for cauls](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/crazy-for-cauls/) - Clamping cauls aren't the most amazing shop project ever, I will admit. But they are a small but important part of having an operating workshop.

I’m taking some of the photographs, so a few of the companies have sent me clamps to shoot.
- [Dealing with high material costs](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/high-material-prices/) - I recently mentioned that I planned to build a structure of sorts in our backyard, and asked readers to email me some of their past projects, and share tips and things to avoid. I hope to share some of these ideas in a future column.
- [Carving texture into veneer](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/carving-texture-into-veneer/) - Two weeks ago I wrote about how some frost on my windshield reminded me of a coffee table I made a number of years ago.
- [Planning backyard projects](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/planning-backyard-projects/) - Spring is just around the corner and with it will be Canadians coming out of their cocoons and heading outside.

- [Inspiration comes from everywhere](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/inspiration-comes-from-everywhere/) - I often get inspiration from the most unlikely sources. Rivers, and their rushing water, have inspired me to bring certain curves into a table.
- [In praise of simple projects](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/in-praise-of-simple-projects/) - In last week’s column I mentioned that I’ve made wooden hearts for my kids for Valentine’s Day over the past few years. Not only are they well received, but they’re fun to make.
- [More from the anti-splinter front](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/more-from-the-anti-splinter-front/) - A couple of weeks ago I wrote about the splinters I got when working with Baltic birch to make a set of kitchen cabinets. I honestly thought the comments would be split down the middle between opposing “You’re a wimp, Rob!" and “I hate splinters, too!” camps.
- [Royal Italian writing desk and chair](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/royal-italian-writing-desk-and-chair/) - Although this mahogany desk and chair couldn’t be further from my own personal style, they’re incredible pieces.
- [My love/hate relationship with Baltic birch](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/my-love-hate-relationship-with-baltic-birch/) - While Baltic birch has a few advantages when it comes to cabinet construction – it does have some distinct deficiencies.

- [Christmas ornaments and wooden gift wrapping](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/christmas-ornaments-and-wooden-gift-wrapping/) - Christmas always sneaks up on me. It’s a situation where I’ve got too many things to do and only so much time to do them in.

- [Sculpted furniture and backyard structures](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/sculpted-furniture-and-backyard-structures/) - I can’t remember exactly how I came across this desk, but it sure is amazing. “Billow Desk” was made by Casey Johnson from Asheville, North Carolina.

- [Wanted: shop kids](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/wanted-shop-kids/) - Over the past couple of years, I’ve been trying to bring more youth into our print pages. In every other issue (or so) we’ve run projects made by kids between the ages of 10 and 18 years old.
- [Tools equal potential and new artists](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/tools-equal-potential-and-new-artists/) - In my column a few weeks ago (“An Accountant Buys a Tool”) a sentence in the last paragraph was “Tools have a lot of potential.” I’ve been thinking about that sentence.
- [Care to snaptoggle?](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/care-to-snaptoggle/) - A few weeks ago, I mentioned how our bathroom reno is 99% complete, and the only things left on my list were a toilet paper holder, a few towel hooks and three small inset shelves.
- [An accountant makes a tool purchase](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/an-accountant-makes-a-tool-purchase/) - I have been working wood since I was about 15 years old, when I sectioned off a tiny corner of my parents’ dingy, unfinished basement.
- [Carvings and curvy doors](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/carvings-and-curvy-doors/) - No sooner had I shared the link from the U.K. contest last week than I got an email from Craft Ontario that included some nice work, especially wood carving projects.
- [U.K. awards and ugly furniture or me bragging?](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/u-k-awards-and-ugly-furniture-or-me-bragging/) - I sometimes think if it weren’t for Mark Salusbury I’d have nothing to write about. He sent me a Daily Mail link to the Heritage Crafts and Axminster Tools’ Woodworker of the Year contest happening in the U.K. right now.
- [Maquettes, kids and quality furniture](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/maquettes-kids-and-quality-furniture/) - I’m in the midst of making a pair of teak patio tables for the backyard using plantation teak from Mys-Teak. The lumber is gorgeous.
- [The ugliest piece of furniture I ever made](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/the-ugliest-piece-of-furniture-i-ever-made/) - I really hope my clients don’t see this. Honestly, I’ve never showed these photos to anyone because I was never happy with how the piece turned out.
- [Project vs. technique articles: a solution and some little libraries](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/project-vs-technique-articles-a-solution-and-some-little-libraries/) - Last week I asked for your thoughts on project vs. technique articles. I’m pleased to say I got a lot of great feedback. The consensus was that you like both.
- [Where new reno meets old reno and simple sharpening](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/where-new-reno-meets-old-reno-and-simple-sharpening/) - After writing last week’s column and thinking about that photo of my chisel doing some dirty work, I realized there’s something else about that image that irks me.
- [Doing bad things with good chisels](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/doing-bad-things-with-good-chisels/) - I’m pretty much done with the basement reno, but there are always bits and pieces that get left until the very end.
- [Project articles vs technique articles and free chisels](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/project-articles-vs-technique-articles-and-free-chisels/) - Our magazine always includes plenty of project-based articles. I try to run a mix of beginner- and intermediate-level project articles in each issue, as well as an advanced-level article a couple of times a year.

- [Darn nails and small shop photos](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/darn-nails-and-small-shop-photos/) - A few weeks ago, I pulled up some wonderfully old olive-green carpet that had been covering our basement stairs for the last 40 years or so. To be clear, we didn’t install it.
- [Drywall dust, paint drips and future projects calling my name](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/drywall-dust-paint-drips-and-future-projects-calling-my-name/) - We’ve been plugging away at the basement reno over the past week. Drywall is up, mudded and sanded, and just yesterday I was able to get a good coat of primer on.
- [A refreshing (wooden) treat and how can a dead tree grow?](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/a-refreshing-wooden-treat-and-how-can-a-dead-tree-grow/) - I was out on a bike ride the other day and noticed some mouthwatering slices of watermelon in someone’s garden. I looked closer and eventually realized they were made of wood.

- [What’s the most Canadian piece of furniture?](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/whats-the-most-canadian-piece-of-furniture/) - There aren’t many pieces of furniture that scream “Canada” but this is certainly one of them.
- [Busy times](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/busy-times/) - In late April I wrote a weekly column titled “The projects I haven’t finished” about an upcoming reno we were planning and how I was hoping to get a few small projects around the house completed before starting it.
- [Peter Pierobon mentions Peter Fleming and more community woodworking projects](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/peter-fleming-and-more-community/) - A few weeks ago I talked with Peter Pierobon, who mentioned his favourite Canadian-made piece is “Chair” by Stephen Hogbin.
- [Community wood projects](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/community-wood-projects/) - It seems like just the other week I was skating on the canal here in Peterborough with my kids, and it’s hard to believe that Victoria Day weekend is in the distant past.
- [Turn up the heat. It’s pyrography time](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/turn-up-the-heat-its-pyrography-time/) - I enjoy pyrography, but I’m no expert. Here are a few fun pieces I recently burned, and some work of a true master. Sticking with my “make it, don’t buy it” theme, I made my kids small maple hearts for Valentine’s Day. Also sticking with my last-minute approach to gifts, these little gifts were completed late on February 13. Thankfully, lacquer dries quickly.
- [Trees are wonderful, until a storm hits](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/trees-are-wonderful-until-a-storm-hits/) - Being woodworkers means we all have at least one love in common – wood.

I contacted Yuri, who was pleased to hear Yorgo loves not only her work, but her work ethic and willingness to help others.
- [Gord Peteran’s favourites](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/gord-peterans-favourites/) - In my conversation with Yuri Kobayashi a few weeks ago, she named Gord Peteran as her favourite Canadian maker.

With pieces in many galleries across North America, his work will continue to be seen by the public for generations.
- [Solid wood vs. veneer: why veneer is simply better](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/solid-wood-vs-veneer-why-veneer-is-simply-better/) - I belong to a number of online woodworking groups. One of them is about working in a small shop. Recently, a member posted about their dislike for plywood and veneer.
- [My grandfather’s Stanley 9 1/2 block plane](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/my-grandfathers-stanley-9-1-2-block-plane/) - Many of us have woodworking tools that have been passed down to us from a parent or grandparent. They may work fairly well, but also be frustrating to use and avoided in anything but the least critical woodworking situations.
- [Peter Pierobon's favourites](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/peter-peirobons-favourites/) - Last week I shared American maker Michael Hurwitz’s, favourite pieces. In his replies to me he mentioned internationally renowned Canadian maker Peter Peirobon and his “Driftwood Dream” jewelry box.
- [Yorgo Liapis’s favourites](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/yorgi-liapiss-favourites/) - I’d like to bring more studio furniture into my weekly blog. There are so many fantastic pieces of one-of-a-kind furniture that have been carefully designed and crafted, it would be a shame not to celebrate these Canadian-made pieces, as well as those from all over the world.
- [Even the simplest projects can go awry](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/even-the-simplest-projects-can-go-awry/) - I’ve said it before, but we woodworkers are a lucky bunch. While other folks are shopping for gifts for holidays, we’re in our shops making something for the loved ones in our lives.
- [My favourite piece of Canadian-made furniture](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/my-favourite-piece-of-canadian-made-furniture/) - Beauty is subjective. Every one of us has a different opinion of what looks good and what doesn’t. I’ve seen many beautiful pieces of furniture, many of which are Canadian-made, but there’s one piece that stands out from all the rest.
- [Unfinished business and San Diego Fine Woodworkers Association](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/unfinished-business-and-san-diego-fine-woodworkers-association/) - To some, a new year is about making resolutions, setting new goals and getting a fresh start. The only resolution I’ve ever made and kept was a “stop making new year’s resolutions” resolution I made about 20 years ago. Easiest resolution ever.
- [Japanese woodworking exhibition / Intricate Chinese woodworking / COVID-19 consequences](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/japanese-woodworking-exhibition-intricate-chinese-woodworking-covid-19-consequences/) - Over the past few decades I’ve enjoyed learning about Japanese design and woodworking. I’ve even built a few pieces of furniture drawn heavily from Japanese tradition. I’m intrigued by the unique traditions and incredible strength and accuracy that come with how the Japanese have worked wood for many centuries.
- [One divider, preferably with joinery](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/one-divider-preferably-with-joinery/) - A wise woodworker once said, “The difference between a good woodworker and a bad woodworker is their ability to fix their mistakes.” There is definitely some truth to this, although I don’t think this is the only difference between these two types of woodworkers.
- [It’s all about the punctuation…I mean, the projects](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/its-all-about-the-punctuationi-mean-the-projects/) - I enjoy my job. Editing a magazine can mean different things for different publications, but my job essentially involves deciding who will write an article, planning when those articles will run, and then ensuring each article is complete, makes sense, involves safe practices and has the proper photography and illustrations to run with it. From time to time I also source tools or machinery that appear in the articles, whether for individual tool reviews or tool comparison articles.
- [Side tables and sapphirewings](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/side-tables-and-sapphirewings/) - Not long after I posted my column last week, I heard from my new friend Glenn Bartley, who assured me he had enough photos of his side table build to document the project for our magazine. In my column I mentioned how images are so important to a woodworking magazine like CW&HI. Dark, out-of-focus photos that don’t clearly show a step to our readers are of no help to anyone, and are enough to make even the most hardened editor tear up. Glenn has travelled the world photographing birds, so I’m sure his skills are more than up to capturing images of raw wood being turned into a piece of furniture.
- [Is COVID “good” for hobby woodworkers?](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/is-covid-good-for-hobby-woodworkers/) - Before even starting to answer that question, I want to make one thing very clear; I’m not trying to downplay the tragic effects COVID has had on our society. What it has done to people from all backgrounds isn’t pretty, and I’m certainly not celebrating this ugly virus. My question has more to do with the unique situation we woodworkers and DIY enthusiasts find ourselves in. Perhaps there is a tiny silver lining in this situation that we’ve all been thrust into.
- [Sometimes simple is best](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/sometimes-simple-is-best/) - I’ve competed lots of complex, large jobs, and almost always look back on them fondly. Finishing a project that’s technically difficult is pretty satisfying, especially if you weren’t sure if you had the skills to complete it in the first place. But finishing a small job can also be very rewarding, though the reasons are much different. There’s something nice about starting and finishing a project on the same day. When you started there was just a plank or two of lumber sitting on the shelf. Once complete, the lumber has been turned into a beautiful, functional object, with quality joinery and smooth surfaces that encourages you to smile. It’s a good feeling.
- [Is there woodworking on mars?](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/is-there-woodworking-on-mars/) - I never figured the Mars Rover and woodworking would cross paths, but I was wrong. What started out as a simple jobsite table saw made of LEGO quickly turned into an overlooked attachment for NASA’s Mars Rover.
- [I never knew marbles have a mind of their own. But they do.](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/i-never-knew-marbles-have-a-mind-of-their-own-but-they-do/) - In my first “From Rob’s Bench” blog I mentioned a very modest marble run my son and I started. Although I was excited about the tiny bit of work we did, I largely included it in my inaugural blog to lock myself into having to make it, as I knew readers would want to see its progress. I was right. I’ve received a few messages asking about its progress (Thanks for keeping me honest!), so I thought an update was in order.
- [Spring workshop time. Almost!](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/spring-workshop-time-almost/) - Warmer weather means lots of woodworkers are coming out of hibernation. Plan your next project, and success is just around the corner. I live in Peterborough, Ontario, and although it hasn’t been an awfully cold and snowy winter, I’m still looking forward to the warmer spring air. Today, it’s well above freezing, and tomorrow is going to be even warmer. I’m lucky enough to have a heated indoor workshop to keep me warm all winter while I build, but I can appreciate the fact that many of you are likely chomping at the bit, and the planning is well underway for your next project. Unheated shops are common in Canada, and the spring weather is the start of a busy six to eight months of woodworking and home improvement for many Canadians.
- [The world’s most amazing marble machine](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/the-worlds-most-amazing-marble-machine/) - While surfing the Internet I came across a stunning video of a Swedish musician who’s made a machine that plays music. I’m not talking about the latest iPhone or stereo system here. I’m talking about a completely homemade machine powered by the maker, who can also program it to play a wide range of sounds that make up songs.
- [The myth of the simple deck reno: part 1](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/the-myth-of-the-simple-deck-reno-part-1/) - My mother had a small deck built on to her house about six years ago. It should have been made wider and longer, because when the large table and six deck chairs are on it, there’s only room to move around the deck’s perimeter, especially at the two ends, if nobody’s sitting in the chairs. That’s a bit of a problem.
- [The myth of the simple deck reno: part 2](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/the-myth-of-the-simple-deck-reno-part-2/) - I’m writing this three days after starting what was to be a one-day deck reno, but I may be getting way ahead of myself. Let’s just call this Day 2. We brought the tools out to the deck and opened everything up. Stupid me. We quickly put wet tools away the previous afternoon and forgot to dry things off. Rust was already forming on my socket set and a few other tools. Luckily it was going to be drier, and the sun was even threatening to come out.
- [Gizmos and contraptions: When woodworking and engineering cross paths](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/gizmos-and-contraptions-when-woodworking-and-engineering-cross-paths/) - My nine-year-old son was learning about gears in his science class, so I told him we should try our hand at making a few plywood gears to see how they worked. He already knew about “driven” and “driving” gears, and how different-sized gears affect how fast other gears connected to it rotate. This was a great excuse to head to the shop and practice woodworking techniques while making something cool.
- [Cover photos: a mix of frustration and satisfaction](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/cover-photos-a-mix-of-frustration-and-satisfaction/) - Getting good photos to include in our magazine is one of the most enjoyable parts of my job. There’s something about a great photo that not only excites me, but I also hope it creates a sense of interest in our readers and lets them enjoy our articles just that extra little bit. And an exceptional photo may pull in a few new readers from time to time, too.
- [Past CW&HI covers: oldies, but goodies](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/past-cwhi-covers-oldies-but-goodies/) - Last week I talked about what it took to create the cover of our current “Working in a Small Shop” issue. This topic is always the theme of our June/July issue. I also mentioned how I enjoy photography, especially when the results turn out well. Today, I’d like to chat about a few of my favourite covers since I became editor of CW&HI.
- [Beston Barnett and a few more covers](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/beston-barnett-and-a-few-more-covers/) - I follow The Furniture Society on Facebook, as they often share makers’ work from across North America. The other day, Beston Barnett’s work caught my eye. Barnett is a studio furniture maker in San Diego, California, who is inspired by many different Arabic-, Asian- and African-inspired motifs. These motifs are often a complex focal point of his work.
- [Learning when to say no](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/learning-when-to-say-no/) - I went to Conestoga College in Kitchener, Ontario, right after high school, taking their three-year Woodworking Engineering Technology course. After working in a few small shops making kitchens and built-ins, I got a job engineering furniture for a medium-sized office furniture company, and spent a few years sitting behind a computer, drawing and making cut lists. It eventually became so mind-numbing that I had to quit. I started my own woodworking business making custom furniture and refinishing furniture for customers. Taking a decent cut in pay, losing any long-term stability I had and forcing me to work much longer hours were in the “con” column, but loving Mondays and truly enjoying my work motivated me quite a bit.
- [The coolest project ever](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/the-coolest-project-ever/) - I’ve always done a lot of bike riding with the kids. I also lead by example, and try to get out on my bike daily. My daughter is a fantastic mountain biker, who especially enjoys crushing the uphill sections of a trail. My son is a bit more into the technical side of mountain biking and loves “getting air” over the tiniest of rises. He even makes it into the air while riding over slightly uneven sidewalk slabs.
- [Epoxy: what’s next?](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/epoxy-whats-next/) - Epoxy has been on an incredible tear over the past five years or so. Once relegated to quick or waterproof joints, or glossy topcoats, it now plays a structural role in many pieces of furniture. Today, you’ll see many “river tabletops” in bold colours, almost always in conjunction with the one-of-a-kind lines made possible by live edge material.
- [Marilyn Campbell: A Canadian epoxy wizard](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/marilyn-campbell-a-canadian-epoxy-wizard/) - Last week I talked about epoxy and where it will take us in the coming years. Epoxy river tables and cutting boards are huge right now, and likely won’t disappear from your Instagram feed anytime soon. In the coming years I have a feeling epoxy will start to be used in many other ways, though.
- [Finish samples might be the death of me](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/finish-samples-might-be-the-death-of-me/) - When I started working with a custom woodworking shop about 25 years ago, I remember the owner staying that he thought finishing was the most important step in the entire furniture and millwork process. I would have to agree. His reasoning was that it’s the main colour the client sees, it’s what they reach out to touch right away and it’s also what will protect the wood for years to come. I’ve always selected and applied finishes with great care ever since he pointed that out to me.
- [Upstairs storage, online exhibition, women of woodworking](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/upstairs-storage-online-exhibition-women-of-woodworking/) - Last, but not least, is the upper level of my shop. Although I don’t do much work up there, I’m able to store all sorts of tools and materials there that would otherwise take up valuable space in my main shop machining area.
- [Lost marbles, air cannons and a wooden spoon: Summer fun in the shop](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/lost-marbles-air-cannons-and-a-wooden-spoon-summer-fun-in-the-shop/) - The other day I took my son to the shop to work on our marble run, and maybe even start a wooden spoon he wanted to make for his teacher. It was well into July, and school had been finished for about a month, but since my kids haven’t actually set foot in a school building since March, the last day of school this year had a much different feel to it than usual. I also knew where my son’s teacher lived, so there wouldn’t be a problem getting a gift to her a bit late.
- [Adding patina and a wild epoxy project](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/adding-patina-and-a-wild-epoxy-project/) - As I mentioned previously, I’m building a bunch of pieces of distressed pine and Douglas fir furniture for a custom home. The building part of the job is fun and easy. It’s adding the right patina to make the piece look 150 years old, then choosing and applying the finish, that are the tricky parts. You’re likely tired of the finishing aspect of this project, so I’ll just give you some idea of how I added the patina to these pieces.
- [Wooden medals for the “Kidlympics”](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/wooden-medals-for-the-kidlympics/) - Olympic fever has caught on in our house. My kids have watched diving, swimming, gymnastics, water polo, hurdles, weight lifting, soccer and many other events, even though they have no prior experience with many of these activities. They seem to understand that the Olympics is an international sporting event with plenty of buzz surrounding it and competing in one of these events can be a lot of fun.
- [Kid’s working wood and a Newfoundland maker](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/kids-working-wood-and-a-newfoundland-maker/) - In late March I wrote a column titled “Calling all (wood shop) kids!” putting out a call to find young Canadian woodworkers between 10 and 20 years old to contribute articles to our magazine. I was contacted by a few kids, though I was only able to get an article from one of them. Evan, a 13-year-old from Toronto, wrote an article about how to make a black walnut stool. It will run in an upcoming issue. You can learn more about Evan on his website, EvansWorkshop.ca.
- [How accurate do we need to be?](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/how-accurate-do-we-need-to-be/) - People who have the ability to be extremely accurate and work to tight tolerances likely pride themselves on this skill. It’s satisfying to cut a piece of wood to the exact dimension needed, then create joinery that’s flush and fits properly. But there are many times when we don’t need to be that accurate while working with wood; “close enough” is just fine.
- [When accuracy is a bad thing, two types of woodworkers, do trees have faces?](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/when-accuracy-is-a-bad-thing-two-types-of-woodworkers-do-trees-have-faces/) - Irrelevant to the amount of time you spend (or sometimes waste) being overly accurate, or how working to tight tolerances may deplete your ability to focus later in the day, there are actually times when it’s simply better to not be so accurate.
- [High-quality pieces of wood art from around the world.](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/high-quality-pieces-of-wood-art-from-around-the-world/) - I get a lot of emails about all sorts of woodworking-related topics. Everything from government trade programs, readers sharing their latest projects, questions about past articles, new product announcements…the list goes on.
- [Hoping my new shop will work out](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/hoping-my-new-shop-will-work-out/) - Moving is rarely fun. About 10 months ago I moved my shop to a two-storey building because I sold my house. The new shop has a slightly smaller footprint, but it’s the storage on the second floor that makes all the difference in the world.
- [Even the simple things take too much time](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/even-the-simple-things-take-too-much-time/) - I posted a set of closet doors I was building on Instagram a month or so ago. Just simple solid maple doors with plywood panels. They were paint-grade, and were to be installed in the front door area of our home. Though I didn’t mention it, I was pretty sure they’d take me about a day in total spaced out over the next three days or so to build, paint and install. I didn’t realize this project would span a month and have so many roadblocks.
- [Michael Hurwitz’s favourites (who’s one of my favourites)](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/michael-hurwitzs-favourites-whos-one-of-my-favourites/) - Michael Hurwitz talks about his favourite pieces of woodwork.
- [Are you serious, Rob?](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/are-you-serious-rob/) - In last week’s column I admitted I had a problem finishing projects. I heard from a few of you, and it turns out I’m not the only one with this affliction.
- [The projects I haven’t finished](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/the-projects-i-havent-finished/) - Rob talks about the myriad projects he has yet to bring to completion.
- [Experiments gone right](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/experiments-gone-right/) - There are times when you head into the shop knowing exactly what you’re going to make and how to go about it. The process usually moves along nicely and the result is mostly what you imagined
- [Finishing textured wood – a forum member’s question](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/finishing-textured-wood-a-forum-members-question/) - Over the years I’ve made a lot of mistakes when it comes to finishing textured wood, but I’ve thankfully learned from those mistakes.
- [Wooden guitars are beautiful](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/wooden-guitars-are-beautiful/) - After watching a few videos that regular contributor Mark Salusbury sent my way I feel the urge to try my hand at making one of these finely tuned guitars.
- [A spoon maker from Banff and a wood artist from Toronto](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/a-spoon-maker-from-banff-and-a-wood-artist-from-toronto/) - Rob profiles prolific spoon maker Keith Sherwin from Banff, Alberta, and Yorgo Liapis, a furniture maker and wood artist from Toronto.
- [Simple jobs that bring a smile and a good-looking woodworking video](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/simple-jobs-that-bring-a-smile-and-a-good-looking-woodworking-video/) - I’ve just finished what turned out to be a really simple workstation renovation job for a friend. They had a pretty good idea of what they wanted the finished workstation to look like, but hadn’t a clue how to get there.
- [My baseboard mission is almost complete](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/my-baseboard-mission-is-almost-complete/) - Before Christmas I wrote about the simple task of installing baseboard in about half of the house. It was going to go really quickly, take almost no energy out of me and be done before I knew it. I was also going to pop some crown moulding in place right after the baseboard was done.
- [One fun marble run](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/one-fun-marble-run/) - This column rounds out exactly one year of weekly posts (as long as you give me a pass for the week off leading up to Christmas), and I just realized today I have yet to mention a small, portable marble run I made with my son almost two years ago.
- [Fancy joints](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/fancy-joints/) - I think adding intricate joinery to pieces of furniture, mainly to challenge ourselves in the shop, but also to add visual interest is a fun approach to working wood.
- [Installing trim and a Wood Symphony Gallery Exhibition](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/installing-trim-and-a-wood-symphony-gallery-exhibition/) - Installing trim is never easy. I set myself up for this. I tricked myself into thinking this job would be easy, even though I knew very well that’s almost never the case.
- [Shop hazards: dropping clamps, swearing and being safer…in that order](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/shop-hazards-dropping-clamps-swearing-and-being-saferin-that-order/) - I went to my workshop the other day, and because I was only applying a finish to a few pieces of furniture, I just put on my sneakers. I bet you know where this is going already. Before I started to finish anything, I wanted to clean up the shop so clutter wouldn’t get in my way.
- [Winter is coming, and take a close look and tell me what you see](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/winter-is-coming-and-take-a-close-look-and-tell-me-what-you-see/) - I much prefer working in the warmer months, with the windows and doors wide open, welcoming the sun and wind. Maybe it’s an obvious thing to say, but I really do miss it already.
- [Hand-cut dovetails are overrated, but they can also be satisfying](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/hand-cut-dovetails-are-overrated-but-they-can-also-be-satisfying/) - I’ve been working away on a pine desk that has some unique details. One of the most prominent details are a pair of drawers with angled sides. Like most people, I associate dovetails with a traditional look. Most people also think having a dove-tailed joint indicates quality. The designer of this desk included hand-cut dovetails in this piece, along with angled drawer sides.
- [Jason Schneider, an Anishinaabe youth and gluing end grain](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/jason-schneider-an-anishinaabe-youth-and-gluing-end-grain/) - While on The Furniture Society’s website the other day I came across the work of Jason Schneider, who is an American maker. I really liked one of his pieces, titled “His and Her Cabinets.” What initially looks like a single cabinet comes apart to reveal two separate cabinets. He has a few other pieces on his website (JasonSchneiderFurniture.com) that are pretty playful as well. If you can believe it, Jason has used corrugated cardboard to build many of his pieces, and they look great.
- [An engineered arm and lots of fancy wooden boxes](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/an-engineered-arm-and-lots-of-fancy-wooden-boxes/) - I recently bought my nine-year old son a book titled Excellent Engineering: 35 Amazing Constructions You Can Build at Home. With schools closed, and kids mostly at home, I thought it would be good to give him a few other things to do, other than schoolwork. It’s a good book, and includes some fun and challenging projects for kids his age. One of them was called “Engineer’s Arm,” and the first one he wanted to try.
- [Apparently, my table saw posed the biggest challenge](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/apparently-my-table-saw-posed-the-biggest-challenge/) - I started last week’s column by saying, “Moving is rarely fun.” That was definitely the case with my workshop move nearly a year ago. Heavy, dusty machinery, and seemingly no room for all of it, stopped me from realizing the positive side of the move. And once the move was complete, the immediate need for some serious organization started. I got most of the larger items positioned over the next day or two, but a few were moved around after another week or two, once I was able to start using the space.
- [I have enough shop space, but only if I’m organized](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/i-have-enough-shop-space-but-only-if-im-organized/) - Over my last couple of posts, I’ve talked about moving into my new shop and how my table saw is the centerpiece of my workflow. There’s a lot more than my table saw to my tool kit, though. Other large machinery, power tools, hand tools and a whole lot of accessories make building furniture efficient and enjoyable. I’ll briefly go over some of the more important items here.
- [Calling All (Wood Shop) Kids!](https://canadianwoodworking.com/from_robs_bench/calling-all-wood-shop-kids/) - I’d like to see more kids and young adults work wood. Probably a lot of other people would like to see that, too. In order to encourage more young people to get into woodworking we’ll be showcasing projects from young people in upcoming issues of the magazine. The challenging part is that I’d love if these articles were also written by a kid or young adult.
