I would like to request/propose to Paul and Joseph that there be an episode or two on journaling and drawing in Paul’s style sometime in the near future. I know it was alluded to in Paul’s blog series about journaling for woodworkers, but as with so many things it would be nice to see a video. I’m hoping for a lightbulb moment similar to so many others that have occurred while watching the project videos 🙂 I know the process has been discussed in some of the intro videos, but I personally would love to see the actual process that Paul uses to come up with his beautiful and useful references.
What say the rest of you? I know that I am starting to begin drafting other projects outside the WWMC’s, and would like to keep records like the ones we’ve seen here.
Also, does anyone have any resources they have used? Youtube vidoes, other websites, etc? I can’t be the only one who struggles with this 🙂

That’s a great idea Andy, I have been looking at drafting books and various forms of education material, in part inspired by Paul’s fantastic journals. I think it would be a very good use of a video or two from Paul.
Here is my first real attempt at this sketching process. I took Paul’s advice from his blog and attempted to sketch/draw a block of wood. I didn’t feel comfortable drawing the outline freehand so I took a page from my high school drafting class and used a 30-60 triangle, but forgot that different sides needed to be used for the opposing angles, so the left side came out a bit distorted. More practice is in order!
Any tips/critiques would be appreciated.

@dmr400 like your detail;)
I was not to bad at technical drawing at school and college but combining it with more the artistic side I find a little hard probably make things look a little scrappy.Dagenham, Essex, England
