WOW 2025 Resources

Hello out there!

As promised here are some resources I mentioned in class last weekend. Later this week I’ll announce the Fall Wow Project and sneak peak Summer Special Projects….

Our summer project this year was a elegant, deceptively simple, Japanese tool box. This is a really versatile project that can be made simpler or more complex, made by hand or machined. Our project was inspired by one developed by Andrew Hunter for Fine Woodworking. Find and link to that project here.

Here is our digital handout… and links to some Youtube Woodworkers who also enjoy this assignment.

Also a great site for tools.

Love Adrian Preda’s woodworking. I bought his mini-workbench plans then modified for my own materials.

Dylan Iwakuni. I could have his videos play all day long.
