This wikiproject is about woodworking and any related subjects such as tools, carpentry, cabinet making, furniture, woodcarving

Goal

edit

To ensure that Wikipedia has as complete and accurate articles related to woodworking as possible.

Scope

edit

This project is related to a number of topics, including metalworking (woodworkers use metal tools and often need some metalworking skills), architecture, construction, art (sculpture, wood carving), etc.

 Woodworking (inactive)
 This article is within the scope of WikiProject Woodworking, a project which is currently considered to be inactive.WoodworkingWikipedia:WikiProject WoodworkingTemplate:WikiProject WoodworkingWoodworking articles

Advertise the project and hopefully bring in more participants by adding the {{WikiProject Woodworking}} template (as above) at the top of the talk page of relevant articles. This template creates a box at the top of the page advertising the existence of this project.

Text to use at the top of article talk pages is:-

{{WikiProject Woodworking}}

The article's quality class and importance to the project can be added to this template (but don't have to be) by adding either or both of the following to the template:
{{WikiProject Woodworking|class=<class>|importance=<importance>}}
The official classes are "FA", "A", "GA", "B", "Start", "Stub", and "NA". See Assessment for more details. Official importance ratings for this project have not been decided; however, other projects commonly use "top", "high", "mid", and "low".

Suggested Edit summary (This is here so that a quick cut and paste does the job, no stress involved):

Template for Wikiproject {{WikiProject Woodworking}}

If the article is also metalworking related then add the following:

{{WikiProject Woodworking}} {{WikiProject Metalworking}}

perhaps reorder it depending on the articles focus.

{{WikiProject Metalworking}} {{WikiProject Woodworking}}

Once again a suggested Cut'nPaste Edit summary:

Template for Wikiproject {{WikiProject Woodworking}} {{WikiProject Metalworking}}

Also, if you participate in woodworking forums on the web, you might want to announce the existence of the project.

New articles needed

edit

Please add any woodworking articles you believe are needed. Please remove blue links after you have checked them out and add to Stubs needing expansion below if needed. If all you create is a stub, please add the Woodworking stub notification at the bottom of the article ({{Woodworking-stub}}), which will automatically put the article in the Category:Woodworking stubs.

Before adding an article, please search under various possible names. If the article already exists under another name, please create a redirect and mention the new name in the opening paragraph of the existing article. On many woodworking topics, names of things and techniques vary considerably by continent/country/region and generation.

Tools

edit
This page needs serious attention. I think it needs a disambiguation page to get rid of the dross like CRAMP (something to do with Japanese animation) and some of the other stuff. Here's what I propose to do when I have time: 1) Move Clamp to Clamp (tool) 2) Move CLAMP to Clamp (Japanese animation) 3) Create a disambiguation page called Clamp which will link to the above and mention the other meanings. Then on the Clamp (tool) page, expand the types of clamp and have links to individual articles that exist if they are worth keeping, otherwise merge them. The use of the term Cramp can be an aka at the top and perhaps a brief discussion of where it is used in the body of the article. That will be a start. SilentC 05:45, 4 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Makes sense. Go for it. I put in the picture so that we can figure out what each type is called in different countries. Luigizanasi 05:58, 5 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
It's a late reply, but CLAMP has recently been moved to Clamp (manga artists) now, with the all-caps variant changed into a redirect to Clamp, after all related articles had been fixed. This should clean things up a bit. - Cyrus XIII 05:49, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Stubs needing expansion

edit

Some may already be more than stubs. If so, please remove them from the list and add them to Wikipedia:Wikiproject Woodworking#Articles needing expansion/improvement if needed. Also add any articles you see need to be here. This list was originally generated by going through Category:Woodworking stubs, Category:Tool stubs, Category:Furniture stubs, and Category:Architecture stubs and culling non-woodworking related articles. No doubt mistakes were made: some do not belong here, while others are missing.

Articles needing expansion/improvement

edit

With explanation of requirements

Sharpening stone, with discussion of oil stones.

  • Combination machine needs discussion of Shopsmith (I added some basic ShopSmith info - should there be more on history/current offerings? R. Weber)
  • Mortiser needs work. Two main beefs with it - it suggests that the router was used to produce mortices before the morticer was invented, problem with that being that the router is a 20th-century invention and the article states on the very next line that the morticer was invented in 1800's. Also suggests a tablesaw could be used to cut a mortice, not sure how. Other beef is it suggests that only the most experienced woodworker could cut a mortice by hand, which is not true either. Put it here because I don't have time at the moment and didn't want to forget. Will do later if someone doesn't beat me to it. SilentC 04:01, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Redirects/disambiguations needed

edit

Names and terms for woodworking tools and techniques vary considerably by continent, country, region, and generation. There is considerable confusion between British/North American/Australian terms, not to speak of historical differences and regional differences within each country. The goal is to ensure that all terms are represented, so that anyone who comes across a term can find what they are looking for in Wikipedia. All woodworking terms should at least have a redirect to the appropriate article, and alternative names should be mentioned at the beginning of each article.

Especially for confusion between British/North American/Australian terms, e.g.

Request for deletion/comments/proposed merges

edit

Please list here any woodoworking-related articles you happen to come across that have been listed for deletion on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion or Wikipedia:Categories for deletion, and for comments on Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Maths, natural science, and technology.

*Proposed deletion of Tarq Joinery. I put it up for deletion, seems to be a hoax. Luigizanasi 07:14, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I made a start - stuck a load of references in, and expanded a fair amount. Still needs work though. Carre 14:30, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Requested articles

edit

From Wikipedia:Requested articles/Applied arts and sciences

I got here looking for information of the following wood finishing/refinishing techniques:

These are not obscure and should really be included. Zlama (talk) 06:04, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am looking for an article on Lustre (timber), like Lustre (mineralogy), but then for wood. And also Texture (timber) would be nice. Here is a useful website for both concepts: [1] Leo Breman (talk) 11:53, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
