Slimdesk by Manuelsaez & Yanko Design. Slimdesk Hides All Your Office Supply Unmentionables Another practical furniture design from Manuelsaez, the Slimdesk reconfigures a desk’s drawers top open on the top of the desk, rather than the sides. Also hiding a power strip and USB ports beneath its cherry veneer, the desk takes everything in to account, even using one of its hollow legs for cable management. Now if it only came with a IV caffeine drip and a bed pan, I would never have to leave my desk. Designer: Manuelsaez. Grete Jalk Plywood Chair - Blogs. Stylish Chair Made of Bent Plywood And Leather – Kurven side structure detail of Stylish Chair Made of Bent Plywood And Leather – Home, Building, Furniture and Interior Design Ideas. Redirecting. Collector Quality Furniture Since 1900. Light Wood, Literally: Glow-in-the-Dark Outdoor Furniture. Not light as in weight nor as in the tone of the wood, this furniture is literally alight from within – bands of bright orange, purple, blue and white layered between slices of wood to create a remarkable look.

The stylistic result sits somewhere between high-end craft and luxury contemporary design. Designed to work as small stools, ottomans, or coffee tables, just imagine turning out the lights and letting these objects be the sole source of illumination for a room – perfect for parties, though perhaps a bit strange and/or overly colorful on a day-to-day basis unless kept to a outdoor garden, porch or patio space that could use some additional nighttime lighting. The so-called Bright Woods collection from Gruppo Avanzini employs stripes of various kinds of wood with resin infill between each layer. Most are more uniform in color, darkness and grain to give equal weight to both the wooden and artificial elements.

Make This - Retro Modern Wood&Clock - Luxe DIY - How Did You Make This? Throughout most of history, everything was made by hand. When manufacturing got involved, specialized details like curved wood started to die out. With new technologies like laser cutting it’s practical to add details back in, like the 1930′s influenced curves on this desk clock. This project was made with a laser cut structure that was covered in wood veneer by hand. The power tools I used included a computer and dremel (and really, the dremel was optional.) Supplies: - Wood Veneers – I used ice birch and sapele. Equipment: All the clamps you can find A dremel with a drill bit and sanding disc are nice, but not completely necessary A very sharp utility knife with a surface to cut on A pair of scissors you don’t care about – these easily rough cut veneer pieces Laser Cutting: Between ponoko.com, hackerspaces, fablabs, and the general increase in availability of laser and cnc equipment you should be able to find somewhere to get this done without much trouble.

Contemporary Bookcase - Projects. Fresh, clean lines, simple, strong construction, and a design you can modify to fit any room. By Randy Johnson The credo of many great 20th century architects was “Form Follows Function.”

And for this bookcase, it certainly does. The strong shelves are supported in a straightforward fashion by equally strong uprights. No decoration, no superfluous details, not even a back to mar its perfect geometry. For you, the woodworker, this bookcase has beauty of a different kind.The joinery is amazingly simple: Long threaded rods are concealed inside the pieces and tie the whole bookcase together. There are no angles to cut, no mortises, no traditional joinery of any kind.

For tools you’ll need a tablesaw, dado blade, jigsaw, sliding miter saw, planer, jointer, drill press, hand drill, router and router table.

Matt Finder - Complect Coffee Table. - Winter 2010-2011 There is an increasing need to develop products that can be transported as efficiently as possible, but products designed to meet these requirements often sacrifice aesthetics to do so. As a result, people continue to purchase products that transport less efficiently. Named after a synonym for "interweave," Complect features bent plywood legs that are woven through a solid walnut tabletop.

It was designed to combine simple home assembly and high quality construction into a flat-packing table that doesn't look like one. Complect is easy to assemble and disassemble, and requires only a screwdriver to completely remove its legs. It uses standard screws to ensure both the worry-free replacement of lost hardware and the use of a tool that is familiar to many households. Complect is 4' long by 21" wide, stands at just over 15" tall, and breaks down to a height of under 3.5" for easy storage and transportation. Watch the video below to see Complect in action!

Seat Back, Rocker On: Modern Curved-Wood Rocking Chair | Designs &Ideas... Maybe more than any other kind of chair, rockers have certain cultural associations as a furniture type – they are traditionally ornate, featuring turned-wood elements and many pieces cut and fit into one another along mortise-and-tenon conventions. From the narrow profile to the swooping lines and plywood styling, this is anything but your ordinary rocking chair design. And yes, this design rocks. Made of skinny layers of maple and walnut to accent its curves, each bend is clean, crisp and minimal in this somewhat non-traditional approach to rocking chair construction. Moreover, the pieces slot neatly into one another without visible joints nor decorative flourishes.

Each surface is articulated as a single curved plane rather than a collection of assembled wooden parts. Craftsman Toby Howes attributes the unusual results of his creative process in part to his approach: each time he crafts something he starts in a different material. In this case?

Welcome to the first in a series of posts in our Woodworking 101 category. Today we will look at the most basic skill all woodworkers have to learn and master, joinery techniques.

As you will see below, there are dozens of different ways to join two pieces of wood together. Each with their own set of advantages and disadvantages. Box Joint The box joint, also called a finger joint, connects two boards at the corners. It is very strong and is often utilized in boxes, such as blanket chests and jewelery boxes, because of its decorative look. Butt Joint The butt joint is the simplest and weakest joint. Dovetail Joint The dovetail is one of the strongest, most beautiful, and most complex joinery techniques that woodworkers employ. Dowel Joint The doweled joint is merely a butt joint that uses wooden dowels to help align and strengthen the bond between two boards. Half-Lap Joint Frame & Panel Joint The frame and panel joint is the primary method of constructing cabinet doors.
