Have started on the Sharpening stone article.SilentC 03:02, 14 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Techniques

• Scary sharp
• Wood finishing page started.
• Woodturning - a VERY broad topic
  • Spindle Turning - including furniture turning
  • "Faceplate" Turning
    - including bowl turning, boxes and others
• Sharpening - could move stuff from Woodworking and Knife articles
• Glue
  article
• Drilling and threading#Drilling in wood
  — needs a woodworking section
• Edge joining - an editor created this red link in the Edge jointing article, obviously felt it needed explaining. Not sure there's enough to warrant an article but can't think where else to put it.
• Intarsia
• Fretwork
• Bending (woodworking) – I am particularly in the archaeological context as pertaining to bows, etc., but there doesn't seem to be any article on bending techniques whether ancient or modern. Aliases: Bending wood, Wood bending. Compare Bending (metalworking).

Joints

• Bridle joint
• Halved joint
• Dovetail joint
• Butt joint
• Half-lap joint

Articles needing expansion/improvement

With explanation of requirements

• Drill bit Get up to Featured List status (95% there). Ksenon 05:33, 5 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Joinery terms I suspect the page may end up being a candidate for the dictionary. I was thinking of adding illustrations but at the end of the day, it's really just a glossary. I suppose it could be expanded into a more detailed look at some of the common joint making concepts or merged with woodworking joints. I just needed somewhere to explain what a cheek and a shoulder are in joinery terms. Not convinced I've done a brilliant job of that either. SilentC 23:04, 6 October 2005 (UTC)[reply

• Nu-Wood Decorative Millwork ancient Millwork article went a few years without an edit until it hit the top of Ancientpages this summer, perhaps this project can adopt it. --Cloveious 05:24, 2 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Nu wood is just one of many manufacturers of urethane
    decorative mouldings. I don't know what to do about the page, it is probably a vanity company page. Luigizanasi 06:08, 5 October 2005 (UTC)[reply
    ]
    • Perhaps the article itself is borderline vanity, but it does have a detailed account of the Manufacturing process perhaps that section can be transplanted to a more appropriate article? --Cloveious 07:36, 5 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Sandpaper - need description of grits (P & American), types of abrasive (Garnet, aluminium oxide, etc.), weigh of backing paper or cloth (A,B,C,D,), etc. (This was requested on talk page)
• List of woods Add tropical woods from USFPL book & missing Australian timbers
• Drill - in pretty sad shape. Needs serious rewrite, needs descriptions of gimlet, brace, eggbeater, hand-held electric drills, drill press, etc.
  • I started on a rewrite, but considerable work still needs to be done. Luigizanasi 06:21, 9 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • Much improved could still use a bit of work.
• Keyhole saw - currently only describes the short straight-handled drywall saw, needs to talk about keyhole or compass saw.
• Panel saw - needs work. A bit limited to full-scale panel production. They use them in joineries too and there are smaller ones available for hobbyists/small shops.
• Spindle speed - was a hard-to-read stub, and had been listed on articles needing cleanup for quite some time, so User:Graibeard at Wikipedia:WikiProject Metalworking decided to put together a completely new article. He needs help from someone with more woodworking experience. Mostly done by Luigizanasi, but still needs stuff on shaper/spindle moulder from someone more experienced and knowldgeable of that machine. — Discuss Spindle speed
• Wood finishing - <needs discussion of merits of different finishes.
• Woodworking machinery - had a bit of a stab at this but it needs a lot more work. Looks like it was set up by someone in the machinery manufacturing biz and is not much more than a bunch of links to associations and exhibitions plus a list of machines that they produce.

• Wood carving is mainly a cut and paste from the 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica (savage races, anyone). Has been listed for clean-up for a while. Some people have requested more pictures. Luigizanasi 06:09, 13 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Split off history section to
    History of Wood carving. Added 5 pictures, 3 sections and rewrote some of what was left on Wood carving. —  KaiserB 23:01, 11 December 2005 (UTC)[reply
    ]
• History of Wood carving - needs clean-up & wikification. —  KaiserB 23:01, 11 December 2005 (UTC)[reply

• Waterstone - needs clean-up & wikification.Luigizanasi 17:02, 13 September 2005 (UTC) Moved to[reply
  ]

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]
  • Did some clean-up and reorganizing.Luigizanasi 22:10, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Woodworking Chisel section needs expansion, different types of chisels (bevel edge, firmer, mortising, carving, etc.) as well as description of uses in paring and chopping. Luigizanasi 16:04, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Mortise and tenon needs expansion, better and more description of types of tenons, names of tenon parts (e.g. cheek), etc. Luigizanasi 22:06, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Wood stain needs a lot of work. References needed badly. Also it's not yet recognised as a wood-working article.I am a lemon 23:40, 13 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Wainwright, Cartwright, wagonwright, are closely related and none have more than a definition. Jim Derby (talk) 21:12, 19 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Coachbuilder is related to wainwright, the existing article needs a history. Jim Derby (talk) 21:12, 19 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Suggestions are set forth in Talk:Saw to improve the Saw page. Zengrain (talk) 10:35, 5 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

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.

• Spindle moulder
  (UK)
• Overarm router (US/Canada)/Wood Shaper(UK)
• Box-combing
• Joiner
  as finish carpentry (UK) - done
• Tenon saw and Backsaw
  (possible merge) - done

• Template for discussion: Template:Types of tools - Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2013 October 22.

• It has been suggested that
  Wood burning
  . Merged
• Lee Valley Tools up for deletion, claimed as advertisement. Vote or comment at: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lee Valley Toolsunanimous decision to keep article.
• It has been suggested that
  Whetstone (tool) be merged into Sharpening stone. Discuss at Talk:Sharpening stone
  . Articles have been merged
• Masonite and Hardboard suggested merge. consensus not to merge

• Proposed merger of
  Dimensional lumber
  . done

• Someone requested a move of Rebate (marketing) to Rebate. This over wrote a disambiguation page I created to give the other definition of Rebate, which is the same as Rabbet. I have requested the move be reverted on the talk:Rebate page. If you agree with this, could you indicate your support on that page? SilentC 00:08, 30 January 2006 (UTC) consensus to reverse and have separate DAB page.[reply]

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

• Proposed merge of
  Spirit leveling
  .
• Proposed merge of
  File (metalwork) and File (tool)
  . Done
• Proposed merge of
  plumb line
• Proposed merge of
  Sawdoctor into Sawfiler (discussion
  )
• dispute over definition and PoV check requested over at reciprocating saw
• Discussion over whether glossaries should be removed from Wikipedia and moved over to Wiktionary at
  Talk:Woodworking glossary
  .
• Proposed merge of
  Bar clamp and F-clamp
  .
• Discussion on the "joinery stub" at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Stub_sorting/Proposals#Joinery_Stubs
• Proposed merge of
  wainscoting into panelling
• Lie-Nielsen Toolworks, while not up for AfD yet, had been tagged as not meeting notability guidelines. A bit more detail, and some references, would fix it. Possible source of material and a reference could be F&C issue 63 feature, linked off the LN website. No way should this one even be considered for deletion! Carre 11:58, 20 July 2007 (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]

• Suggestion that
  Shake (shingle) be merged into Wood shingle
  .
• Proposed merge of
  Saw tooth setter into Saw set. These articles are describing the same tool function in the process of setting saw teeth to form a kerf. The term 'Saw Set' applies to most tools that could be used in the process. The article saw set will also be updated with several types of saw sets, additional information on Saw Sets will also be added. Discussion on Talk:Saw tooth setter.

From Wikipedia:Requested articles/Applied arts and sciences

• Moisture meter
• Tiger Maple
• Birdseye Maple

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

• Liming
• Pickling
• Bleaching

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]
