It looks like everyone has been working pretty hard over the past couple of weeks. Certainly, we have received some excellent images of many fine furnishings and workshop wonders…

We have some fantastic renditions of Paul’s designs, some with a special twist and some completely original pieces. And, of course, all of them are wonderful!

It’s been three weeks since our last exciting excursion into the wide-ranging world of community-made pieces, and now we’re back again with another splendid selection of wonderful work. Take a look!

Okay, so firstly, a little confession: I somehow managed to miss out a good number of photographs from the last post. That means that we have a really good haul of images to browse this time around. We’ll cover a lot of ground: projects large and small, from beginners to old hands, and a full…

As the sun’s glowing beams etch shimmering traceries across the workshop, it’s time for us to shed some light on the latest community photographs from the past two weeks…

We’ve had a really fantastic assortment of pictures submitted to the galleries over the past three weeks!

Alright, so this is a collection of every photo that has been submitted to the community galleries in the past month. There are quite a few of them…

Another couple of weeks have flown by, and another impressive batch of photographs has rolled in. We have some beautiful furniture, some useful tools and even a few Christmas presents. I hope the recipients appreciate the amount of effort and skill that is going into these gifts! Poor Man’s Rebate Plane by L. Juday This…

It’s been another couple of busy, busy weeks here at the workshop, with plenty of making and filming afoot. I have also had the honour, as usual, of looking through and processing all the fantastic pictures that have been sent in to the gallery. You’d think after two-and-lot years it would get old, but it…

Another fine collection of images from our latest round of community uploads.

This week’s community gallery collection contains everything and the kitchen sink.

It’s a rainy Thursday morning here at ‘Sellers Central’. The dark grey skies hold the promise of bright green grass to come, but for now Paul’s workshop is an amber-lit beacon of warmth on a particularly damp day. It is, as ever, encouraging to know that many other workshops are also being put to good…

Another couple of weeks have passed and another fantastic selection of woodworking projects have been submitted to the galleries! Thank you to everyone who sent something in. Your work never ceases to inspire. Wallclock by Greg Made of white pine. This was a fun project and very rewarding. My wife wasn’t fond of the base…

Thank you everyone! We’ve had another good couple of weeks of gallery submissions. You can see all of the photographs below. Workbench by jrmacias My take on the workbench… Lapping Stone Case by jrmacias Needed a simple case for the lapping stone, so used some reclaimed pine from the scraps pile. Occasional Table by Chason…

It’s super-super hot here. At least, that’s what the non-Texan contingent of our team thinks. Still, it’s never too hot to admire the skills of our woodworking community, preferably with ice-cream in hand.

It’s time for another look at the ever-spectacular work of our outstanding community.

Has it really been a month since I last posted here? Time certainly has been speeding along, largely thanks to all the work we’ve been doing to get the new studio in tip-top shape. That work continues and I’m sure you’ll see Paul and the team go from strength to strength as they begin the…

Our gallery continues to receive a steady flow of absolutely wonderful things. Take a look; maybe you’ll find something to spork your imagination!

Welcome to stage two of our tour through the user submitted gallery pieces.

Spring is upon us here at the workshop and, with a long weekend coming up for some of us, I wanted to give you a chance to leaf through the many pieces which our community has submitted to the gallery over the past couple of months. The following images were uploaded during February. We will…

Welcome to another amazing selection of images, demonstrating the breadth of possibility in this world of hand tool woodworking. Some tremendous use of fabulous grain patterns, too! Dining Table by David R. an oak dining table with breadboard ends and Y-stretchers Tool Cabinet by Owen Williams Cherry finished with shellac Sideboard by Adrian Cole Built…

Oh, wow! It has been a bumper month for the photo gallery. Thank you very much for sending them all in! These pictures are a window into a whole world of people with the gumption to get cracking on a project and stick with it until something fantastic emerges. There’s a lot more to see…

2018 = two-thousand-and-great-teen!? It’s probably too early to say, but it’s not too early to crack on in the workshop, as demonstrated by these fantastic pieces! Coffee Table by Kerri Franklin I read mixed reviews on cherry and walnut together, but I did it anyway. I love it! Thanks so much masterclasses! Wallclock by Andrew…

Christmas is a time for peace, fun, food and, if our submissions page is anything to go by, a great deal of woodworking. I am glad that you have been using your time wisely and very thankful to everyone who has shared their photos. I hope 2018 will give everyone ample time to continue to…

It’s been a bit chilly here at the Wood Centre this week. But as the crispy, crunchy snow twinkles under an exceptionally blue sky, it’s very hard to complain. A little exercise is all it takes to warm up and if you make something interesting and useful while you’re at it, so much the better….

Works of wonder, labours of love and undertakings of understated skill.

We’re firing on all cylinders here at the workshop and, judging by all the submissions we have received, it looks like you are too. Keepsake Box by Clifford Canary wood with shellac finish Wallclock by Anthony Rich Dovetail Box by Anthony Rich Dovetail Practice Tool Cabinet by Farred Made of pine and hardwood veneer plywood….

We have had another great couple of weeks for photo submissions and, evidently, the application of elbow grease. Thank you all for sending them in! Workbench by Ian Lockwood A bench I made on a six day course recently Dining Table by Michael Gotz elm and glass Toolchest by Bryson Hillis I started on this…

Here is a little digest of the last week or so of user submissions to the gallery.

With great pleasure, we present to you a collection of our latest user-submitted projects…

We’ve had quite a few new photographs submitted over the summer period. Please consider this your official catch up now that the holidays are over and normal business has resumed.

It’s a day of heightened industry in the workshop. Paul has a class here, currently in its fourth day, and the air resounds with the various thuds, clangs, bangs and thumps that accompany hand tool woodworkers in full flow. But it’s not just here that folks are ripping and shaping, witness the preponderance of pieces photographed for your enjoyment over the course of this past month!

We have some really amazing looking pieces here, and a lot of them! Many thanks to everyone who took the time to send them in. Dovetail Box by Alex D Pine dovetail box with two tone stain Keepsake Box by bpower Keepsake box in poplar. Keepsake Box by mkimber Sides New Guinea Rosewood, Top and…

From breadboards to headboards and from weather stations to teddy reservations; it’s all here in our latest roundup of gallery submissions. Take a look… Breadboard-end Cutting Board by martinemil First attempt. White oak. Frame Saw by jard011 Cherry and walnut. I used brass screws on the back to hold the blade and small walnut inlays…

It is hot, hot, hot in the workshop today. You can tell that summer is here because Paul has been outside with the BBQ. I was hoping for hotdogs, but it turned out that he was conditioning steel. We’ve had a whole lot of interesting pictures uploaded over the last couple of weeks and I…

It’s Art Week here at the Sylva Wood Centre. The doors are open to the public and the various tenants are putting their handiwork on display. But they are not the only ones who are exhibiting this week, as we have also had a bumper batch of submissions to our photo gallery.

Spring has sprung here at the workshop. Lambs and rabbits are haring about in the local fields, and the building is a hive of activity as Paul and students begin the third day of a six-day woodworking class.

Here is the latest round up of gallery submissions. Thank you very much to btyreman, dalbir, Tim A, Tolga Avcioglu, Tom Funk, einar, James Savage and Josh Jenkinson! This edition comes with a special challenge. Can you spot the cat?

  Many more magnificent makers have, this March, submitted several sensational pictures of their pieces completed by hand. Thanks go to tobiasbilger, canito79, Matthew Wiles, Ged, Tom Benim and Jim Braun. It’s a treat to see these! Best, Mark

It’s been another fantastic fortnight for community project uploads, with the below pieces finding a home on our gallery.

We have had quite a number of submissions to the galleries over the past fortnight, in spite of some hiccups with the submission form. (If you do find that the form is producing error messages, please contact us.) Thank you everyone for persevering and sharing you amazing pieces with us. Thanks this time are due to…
