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.

NAThis article has been rated as NA-class on Wikipedia's content assessment scale.

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:

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

New articles needed

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

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]

Note that Stanley Works and Craftsman (tools), Delta Machinery, Black and Decker, Robert Bosch GmbH, Lee Valley Tools, Milwaukee Tools, Lie-Nielsen already have articles (that need expansion).

Stubs needing expansion

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.

Redirects/disambiguations needed

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]
