I wish I still had my niche workplace memes I made when I was a carpenter but they were all on my old chinese phone that I lost at a pizzeria in michigan and it's been almost a decade so I can't even remember them except for this one

May I suggest a drawing of Geno from Super Mario RPG? (not forced/no need for effort), I haven't seen him in your style yet and I think it'd look 🔥🔥🔥.
Love, PSI KID
Oooooh wait, your ask has actually given me an idea! 🤩 Since I've talked a lot about this headcanon of Mario being into carpentry lately, and that Geno is a wooden doll... What if he was initially a toy that Mario made in my version? 😄

What in the world? That must be an attached table with a clear barrier so things don't fall.

Spent the day cleaning my workshop and working on a wedding gift. Building out a piano coatrack where the white keys can be levered out to hold coats, then pushed back to get the piano motif. The white keys are made of a curly hard maple, and the black keys out of some walnut. Still have a lot of sanding left and need to build the outer frame.

Rough key layout

Relief cut to let the key rotate.

Initially assembled and working. Really happy how the grain flows across the keys

George Nakashima’s Woodworker’s Retreat featured at the University of Pennsylvania
Tumblr media
The Nakashima Woodworker’s Retreat “Arts Building” was given to the Nakashima Foundation for Peace in 2001 by George’s widow Marion so that the Foundation would have a permanent home. It features a soaring plywood hyperbolic paraboloid roof cantilevered from stone buttresses over two glass walls, built around a small pond and facing a series of small rooms known as the “Cloister,” harking back to the monastic tradition which so inspired Nakashima. It is used for concerts and events for peace, and houses prototype furniture and archival material, some of which will be turned over to the Michener Museum for research, reference and preservation.
National Historic Landmark nomination for the Nakashima complex
George Nakashima’s Vision
“A while back there appeared a great bole of a tree, a Walnut. It was about five feet in diameter (1.5M) at the small end, about seven (2.1M) at the flare, and twelve (3.6M) long, with extraordinary characteristics. In a small but firm voice the bole asked to be realized; two adjoining slabs opened to make an extraordinary table, roughly twelve feet (3.6M) long by the same dimension wide, weighing almost 1 ton. Gradually a few people became interested in the project and suggested we make six Altars—one for each Continent. It will be a symbol, a token of man’s aspirations for a creative and beautiful peace, free of political overtones; an expression of love for his fellow man. We have become so basically disoriented with our blind faith in science and technology without spirituality, it brought us to our pit of madness.
A symbol is needed—something tangible, like the toe of St. Peter’s statue in the Vatican. This symbol might be the object of a transcontinental or trans-world Peace March. At the end of this pilgrimage, a celebration: A rose or lotus placed on it; songs sung, each in his own tongue; Zen chants so strong; possibly the Day of Existence, a chant to music—spheric in line, spiritual and sad—composed by my ‘brother’ Ivan Wyschnegradsky; Sadhu friends from South India congregating; and monks and others from all over the world who are interested in a higher and deeper consciousness. There is little chance that peace can be achieved politically. There is, at best, a balance of terror; a balance of egos; a balance of demands. Enthusiastic contagion would be useful, as peace the world over is uppermost in our consciousness. It must be a joyous peace, not a fear or absence of war. It is a question of surrender. A surrender to the Divine Consciousness to end in a most beautiful aura of love.”
George Nakashima October 1, 1984
A Black Walnut Dream: George Nakashima's "Altars of Peace"
Tumblr media
 The name of George Nakashima is as famous for its contributions to design philosophy as it is for its artistry. As a woodworker, furniture maker, designer, and architect, Nakashima has enough titles to cement his place as the father of the American Craft Movement. But around the world, a separate legacy follows the renowned Japanese-American craftsman: his interest in world peace and  humanitarianism through design. Here we explore a project that was particularly close to his heart.

The Art of Japanese Joinery, Kiyosi Seike "The joiner's art, almost forgotten in the West by all but fine cabinetmakers, has had a long history in Japan, where it is still vigorously alive. The reputation of the traditional carpenter rests largely on his skill as a joiner, choosing and fashioning joints unknown in the West."

Q: Accessible Garden Beds
Hey y'all,
I'm putting together a set of three table/garden beds for the Special Education classroom at my school. We're planning on putting Trax mats below it for wheelchairs, but I wanted to know if anyone had any suggestions for it's design!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I've worked with the teacher for measurements, but want to double check the height will be alright.
Warmly,

Do you think Mario would have hand made something for Luigi’s birthday? Or maybe a just because present? What do you think that would be?
Oh, certainly! ☺️ And probably every year, too!
Now what those wooden gifts could be though, I'm not sure. Bookends shaped like dogs for his collection of novels (offered by Peach on a previous birthday 📚😇)? A lantern frame to have candlelight during the night? A small puzzle to fidget with when he's feeling anxious?
Or, perhaps... a lovingly carved picture frame to put his favorite photograph in and keep on his nightstand. 🥰🖼
