Introductions

[Will]

Hi everyone;

I'm one of the founder members of PL(A)YWOOD and am interested in making furniture and doing some fine woodworking with hand tools.

[Henry Sands]

Hi, I'm Henry, I like doing practical woodwork and joinery

[bi...@billycomputersmith.com]

Hi

I'm Billy.

i've got the basics of being a wood butcher, and i'd like to refine my skills... :))

Wood butcher, I like it. I think I'm about on the same level.

I'm Ed and I'm likewise here to refine my skills.

I also like tools being in good nick. I've been fighting a somewhat uphill keeping the existing hackspace chisels in some degree of working order.

[Sam Cook]

Yo, 

I'm not around much at the moment (due to finishing a PhD) but I really want to try and do more joinery and such.

I enjoy hand tool woodworking. I have a small bench at home and have made a few bits and pieces. I occasionally post some woodworking photos and such on google plus - https://plus.google.com/+ChrisLowis/posts. 

It'd be nice to meet you all! 

Cheers,

[Will]

Looks good Chris!  Hope you can make it on Wednesday.

[Tim Yates]

Hi all,

I'm Tim and am a total beginner at proper (i.e. skilled) woodwork, although I've been nailing wire to planks of wood for a while to make many of these in various sizes:

I've loved doing this and so now have plans for more sophisticated things, like casings for MP3 players and electronic instruments as well as more interesting acoustic instruments and so need to improve my craftsmanship somewhat ;)

Looking forward to meeting you all, although at the moment I can't make this Wednesday. Hopefully the week after though ...

Cheers,

Tim

Hello all!
I suppose I should introduce myself too. Name is Eugene, (Mentar is a nickname) and I'm a total noob when it comes to woodworking, though I've been a member of the hackspace for a while.

 I'm a bit of a robotics nut and working on the 2 bots at the space, the larger one will hopefully soon be usable for CNC and sculpting lighter materials including wood.

Cheers

[Katie Ollier]

Hi all,

I have just become a Hackspace member and plan to come to PL(A)YWOOD on the 19th to see what it's all about! 

I haven't done much woodwork at all but plan to start making small, rustic picture frames as my first project. I'd be very grateful if someone is able to show me how to use the electronic saws and the sander. I have a scroll saw at home which is pretty straight forward to use, so I am hoping your saws are similarly simple!

I shall invest in an eye protection mask...is there anything else I need to bring?

Cheers,

Katie

Hi Katie;

Welcome to the group.  I won't be there on the 19th, but I'm sure there will be some other members around to give you an introduction to the hand-tools locker and the space in general.

At present, the chop saw is out of action, the table saw is a bit dangerous as the platform is a bit wobbly and the bandsaw is not 'plumbed in', but we're getting there!  The sander is working well though.

If you're making picture frames (and not industrial quantities), a handsaw would be fine - you'll just have to make sure you cut accurately, which is easier said than done!

It is always a good idea to get safety gear - there are some goggles and ear defenders in the space.  It would be a good idea to get a decent dust mask as the extraction system isn't particularly effective at the moment.

Will

[Katie Ollier]

Great, thanks Will.

Do you know if there's a Mitre Box kicking about or will I need to bring one? Is so, I can donate it for anyone else who wants to use it.

Good call, I'll get me a dust mask too :)

Cheers,

Katie

[Will]

There must be a mitre box hanging around somewhere, but no, I haven't seen one.  You could put it in the locker with a 'PL(A)YWOOD' sticker if you want to keep it safe - it would be a useful addition to our tool rack!

Will :o)

[Paul Mckenna]

Hey, I'm Paul, just joined the space and want to get into small woodworking projects. Hopefully meet you all soon

[Felix Ackermann]

Welcome Paul! We are meeting every Wednesday at 7pm (or a bit later), which gives everyone to get together.

Hope to see you Wednesday night to meet you and give you a little intro to the tools.

The other tools have been mentioned except the sander. It's a bit of a polisher at the moment and in need of a new belt, but otherwise works fine. It needs some introduction to get the best out of it though due to some idiosyncrasies. I'll be there this Wednesday, so come and find me if you want an intro to it.

I go by the name "Ed", but so does another member. I'm the shorter Ed with the curly hair.

[Ben Dit]

Hello Friends of Wordworking

my name is Ben, I am originally from Berlin/Germany and I moved to London 4 months ago. I did some woodworking back in Berlin and I miss it a lot. So I am super happy to have found the HS and this group. I will be there tonight or next Wednesday, if that's okay (I am a HS member only since last night)

Thank you and see you soon,

ben

[Will]

Welcome Ben - I am glad you've found us and look forward to meeting you.  We keep in touch via this message board, so keep checking now and then for new info.

Kind regards,

Will

[Cat Catt]

Greetings,

Wood Background: a little bit of wood turning, general woodwork like building shelves, making large letters display and shapes (public art commissions), building a collapsible stage, that sort of things and finally carving & decorative wood burning.  It will be a pleasure to learn more precise skills, to share, to meet new tools and new people, as well as being part of friendly group.  With smiles, see you all tonight 26/2.

[Mark Sta Ana]

Hi I'm Mark / booyaa.

I'm hoping to learn how to build shelving and bespoke storage/cabinets for my home that has a high quality finish. I've did a bit of wood work when I was in secondary school, but that's a long time ago.

[Glyn Hanmer]

Hey everyone,

I'm Glyn.

I'm fairly new to the HackSpace.

I would like to learn general good practise with tools and woodworking.

I have no specific design plans, worth noting, of yet but I am hoping that gaining new skills with open my mind to ideas.

See you in the space!

[Martin Lee]

Hi,

I'm Martin, been in and out of the hackspace for about 3 years, now getting back in to the swing of things.

I'd like to develop woodworking skills.  I'd like to be able to turn and make practical things.

[Renato Lopes]

Hello Everyone. 

I am Renato. I've been a hackspace member for about two years alternating periods of intense presence with months of disappearance depending on work.

I am a UX designer and tend to use the space for making furniture and other wood things. Last big project was my bed, which still stands :-)

I will try and come next wednesday to meet some of you in person. See you then!

[Robin Allen]

I'm Robin, I'm an almost total novice to woodworking but I have a couple of things I'd like to do with wood (and metal). I'm one of those people who comes up with lots of ideas but rarely follows through due to lack of skills, tools or materials. By joining the hackspace and this group, hopefully I'll have solved two of those three issues!

I'm currently an hour early to tonight's meet.

[Peter "Sci" Turpin]

Hi, I'm Sci

I managed to drop in a couple of weeks ago, but my available time is a
little all over the place right now.

I'd like to improve my woodworking skills and pick peoples brains. I'd
like to build myself a desk, as I have a large quantity of salvaged
mahogany. Currently it's at the concept-sketches stage and I'd like to
work out the best way to make/assemble it using the materials I have.

I also inherited a lot of tools and woodworking magazines from my
grandfather a few years ago, and would like to put them to use.

I may be able to get to this Wednesdays meeting, but it will depend on
some other tasks.

[Will]

Hi Sci;

Welcome.  I'll be able to do your induction tonight if you make it, and I'll make sure I wait for you to arrive.  I'll be a bit late this week, but will hope to be there by 8pm.

Will

[Olivia Dobson]

Hi There,

I'm Liv and a total beginner when it comes to woodwork, but I really would love to learn a lot more. I'm pretty new to London so just heard about you guys today and I've got to say I'm pretty excited to get involved. 

I'm planning on coming this Wednesday... Will anyone be able to give me an induction? I'm hoping to make a little wooden box for starters so I'd greatly appreciate as much help as poss if anyone can spare the time/knowledge. 

Really looking forward to getting to know everyone.

Cheers,

Liv

[Felix Ackermann]

Hi Liv,

Lovely that you found us and joined us!

Yes there is an induction on Wednesday, Janina will be running it this week. We generally meet at 7pm, inductions start at 7.15pm, please make sure you are on time, otherwise you might have to wait until next week.

Just a note on inductions: We just run through the tools and give an overview of Playwood. We will give you access to the tools so that you can come in and use them whenever you want. We do not teach as such, so we don't run workshops (yet). Of course we will try and help anyone who has a question, but we might not have the time or the knowledge to anser your questions – just to avoid any disappointments.

On the whole, though, people are pretty helpful. I'll be around this evening working on the wood rack for a couple of hours, and I'm happy to give some very basic instruction on simple joints.

Hi my name is Ryan

I joined this group a couple of weeks ago but have not found the time to come in to an induction so I am making every effort to come in tonight

I have a few woodwork projects over the last few years (small and large) and recently moved to London and keen to continue working with wood.

Looking forward to the induction and meeting people

[Drowned Bee]

Hi all,

I've recently moved to LDN and I have no where to tinker.
I've been tinker-celibate for a few months now.
I have a scratch to itch and I need access to tablesaw.
I want to make Langstroth Beehive (or possibly just a National).

Could I come down today (Wednesday) and see the workshop and meet a few peoples?

[Will]

Sure thing.  Come along around 7pm and we can show you around.  You'll need to become a paid-up member of London Hackspace before you can do an induction and gain access to the tools, but once you have, the workshop will be your tinkerable oyster.

[Miguel Silva]

Hi all,

I have recently moved to London and I was looking for a place to work with wood and build a guitar.

I've built a couple of them in the past years and I'm looking to refine my woodworking skills and share tricks and knowledge on woodworking, marquetry and guitar building.

I signed up for the Hackerspace and just received confirmation. I look forward to meeting some of you next Wednesday.

Cheers,
Miguel

[Saif Bunni]

Hello, 

My name is Saif, and I am a student studying sound design. I like to build instruments as well but maybe not in the traditional sense. Miguel - there is a group called ' Acoustic Hacking' happening last sunday every month. If you know how to build a guitar, would you mind giving us few pointers and tricks, maybe show us something in future meetings? That will be amazing, as none of us know much about it. This is the link for the group. Give me an email or something. Saif 

[Taidgh]

Hi guys I'm Tai. Looking forward to getting back into some shavings and sawdust. Just joined the Hackspace. Hopefully see some of you tomorrow evening. 

[Will]

Welcome Tai.  See you this evening for an induction!

[Timmyjj21]

Hi everyone,

I just joined Hackspace and will hopefully see everyone next week. I used to do a lot of woodturning, but my lathe is in storage in Australia so am suffering withdrawal. I'm currently fiddling with puzzle box concepts and am keen to get my hands on a scroll saw or laser cutter and play with some quirky wooden spur gear concepts.

Cheers!

[Akki]

Hello

I'm Akki (aka Heather). I've been doing bits of wood working since I was little. Most recent wood working projects in the hackspace I've done include a 5ft tall wooden skeleton t-rex, the two bird skeleton models upstairs by the front door that were spraypainted on Royal Institute's Christmas Lectures and a random attempt at some wooden belaying glasses. I'm always up for learning more wood working skills.

[Guillaume Saunier]

Hi Guys, 

I am Guillaume I just joined Hackspace and I want to learn more about Woodworking. I am a complete beginner but  i really want to learn more about it and start making some projects. I hope to meet some of you there. 

Best,

[wyan]

Hi All,

I'm Ruben (aka wyan), I was the latecomer last night :-)

I would like to get started in woodturning and basic woodworking skills.

[Frederick Fasola]

Hi everyone,
I'm Fred and I have been a "closet woodworker" for years, but I've got bored of building furniture in my bedroom with only a hack saw and a hand drill... so I'm delighted to join you guys and get cutting!
I'll come round tonight if you guys are there...
See u later.

[Monika Koziol]

Hi Fred,

Nice to meet you. Sure come round tonight, we'll be there from 7pm and we have inductions around 7.15 to show some hand tools we keep in the locker for playwood members we'll also explain some general rules. 

See you later,

Monika

Hi everyone,

I've finally made my first membership payment Yay! I would have joined sooner by using the "Exceptionally Broke" membership route but I thought I'd wait till my cash flow starts behaving and get full membership and give better financial support. I am very keen to use the table saw but I believe I need to be initiated or something. Can someone assist me with who I need to speak too. I'd like to get started soon please.

[M Bengoufa]

Hi everyone,

I just setup the debit order which has to be 2days forward. SO hackspace will only be able to receive the 1st payment  the 14th.

May I still join the group tomorrow at 7pm and maybe even join the induction group?

I bought the book woodwork "the complete step by step manual" and would really to get my hands to do some of the projects in order to acquire the basic technical skills. I'll aim to build a very nice chest with several mini drawers when the time will.

Im an IT consultant day time and wanted to get into a hobby more "real" hence the choice of woodwork. It ticks all the boxes:creativity, patience, satisfaction to build sth from scratch which is tailor made.

Looking forward to meet some of you as early as tomorrow 7pm.

[Ariel Truman]

Hi my name is Ariel Im locking forward to meeting the group today. I all ready have a project planed and ready to start, I hope I can get a introduction to the table saw and router table really excited to get to use some proper tools.

Hi Ariel,

Looking froward to meet you this evening.

Just so you know: As a group, Playwood is only looking after the hand tools in the Playwood lockers. Currently we don't have the capacity to run inductions for the table saw, router table and other power tools in addition to the hand tool inductions. However, there are a few Hackspace members who can give you an induction for those tools, so it is peobably best to get in toiuch via the general mailing list.

Hi All,

I've just set up my standing order to the hackspace - looking forward to coming down today or tomorrow to meet people. I've got a general DIY interest, and fancy creating a few items to avoid buying stuff from IKEA :)

By day I'm a project manager at a health charity.

Looking forward to meeting all of you,

[Felix Ackermann]

Great Alex! I cannot make it tomorrow, but look forward to meet you another session.

[M Bengoufa]

Hi guys, my standing order is in place since weeks now but no email from hacksaws to get my access card.I checked and the money has been transferred.
Anyone can help me understand the process?
Thanks

[Felix Ackermann]

Hello,

it is difficult to know what exactly is going on with your payment/access. Best thing to do is to come to an Open Evening (every Tuesday as far as I know) and ask for help to get your card registered.

Thanks,
Felix

[Will]

It is best to contact the London Hackspace through their website - or check out the FAQ.  A common problem is not using your ID number as the reference for the bank transfer.

Will

[Paddy Duncan]

Hi,
If the payment happened correctly you should have got a confirmation email saying so.
If not, you need to email membe...@london.hackspace.org.uk giving your membership ID (which is the required reference for the payment), the date of the payment, and the amount, and we will look into it.
Regards
Paddy

[Paddy Duncan]

I'd also be interested to know how so many people recently manage to join while knowing nothing about how it works.....

If anyone can help with that please reply on a postcard ta.

Paddy

Hi, I'm Chris. I'm a new member to the space (I've popped along to various open days/evenings for the past 3.5 years, finally chosen to join up), looking to gain some experience in hand tools and their efficient, accurate use. Maybe some power tools when they scare me less :)

[Mathew Davies]

Hi there.

I came along to the induction tonight. Lovely to meet you Will!

I'm the guy looking to build a bass bin for a speaker. Look forward to taking part in the group :)

[Tom Chambers]

Hello everyone,

I'm Tom, I've just returned to London after a period of absence. I'm looking forward to getting stuck into making stuff out of wood.

Is there an induction session on tomorrow? I have paid my dues, it went through on Saturday but it hasn't change on the hackspace site yet.

I was also wondering how people get stuff in and out of hackspace, given that in London I imagine most people don't have cars. Is there a nearby place to buy wood from?

[Will]

Hi Tom;

Welcome!  Yep, there is an induction this evening, as all being well, I'll be there from 7pm.  Induction at 7.15pm in the basement workshop.

Regarding wood, I've purchased i) from eBay (treettimber), ii) a large wholesaler who delivered to my uni.  It really depends what type of wood you want.

Will

[Antonio]

I have an induction planned for today at the same time, so I don't think I will be on time for today's PL(A)YWOOD meeting. Will have a look when I finish just in case.

Regarding wood, I only bought small pieces so far. Whitten timber has several hardwoods and lots of smaller hardwood remains that are sold quite cheap (you can even try to haggle a bit)  http://www.whittentimber.co.uk/
But if you buy something big that you cannot fit in the tube you probably need to ask for delivery (and permission to store it). I didn't have to do that yet.
I don't know of any wood yards close to HS, but I am sure there have to be some...

Cheers,
Antonio

[Frank Ederveen]

Hi everyone,

I've been playing with bits of wood for a little while now and found out about the backspace and this group recently.

As space is very limited in central London, I only have a tiny workspace at home with hand-tools only. Any kind of machinery would be too noisy/dusty/big :(

Looking forward to sharing what little I know and learning from others.

With kind regards,

Frank

p.s. It would be nice if we could get the planer/thicknesser working again somehow. I don't mind resawing timber by hand but getting it flat and of consistent thickness is hard work and I'd rather focus on the joinery =)

[Fionnuala Heidenreich]

Hi, Im Fionnuala.

Im interested in making furniture and objects where I can practise and learn different craftsmanship techniques. I have some wood working experience but have had a long break from it so am looking forward to starting back into it and experimenting a little

Thanks

Hi everyone,

I'm coming along to my first session tonight for an induction. Looking forward to seeing what people are up to and getting stuck in.

I've been meaning to join the Hackspace for a long time and finally have! :)

I've also been wanting to learn about woodworking, and have a project I'm currently working on with eTextiles that I need to build some structures for so was planning on coming along tomorrow, along with a friend who has also just joined.

Very much looking forward to it!

Hi everyone,

I'm Rachel.  I've been tinkering with a simple starter spice rack project (we need a biiiiig one at home).  I've done a 4 week woodwork course at citylit where i learned some handtool techniques but now I think I'm at the stage where I need some machines, although I'm not really sure which ones.  

I was told at the Hackspace social night that I should probably come along to this evening and meet the woodworking folk.

ps.  My favourite tool is the chisel.

Hi Rachel;

Welcome - we meet tonight around 7pm.  We've plenty of chisels, so you'll feel right at home!  And it sounds like you'll be able to teach us some new tricks.

Hello I am a Design student at Goldsmtihs. I regularly visit the hackspace and I would like to visit the workshop for the induction tomorrow :)

Hi,
I'm Pete and hope to be doing some woodwork at the Hackspace from early May onwards. At the moment I'm a bit of a wood butcher, but really like the stuff: I just don't have carpenter's hands yet (or Joiner's, or cabinet maker's). Time to do something about that.
Cheers,
Pete

Hi, I'm Spence. Interested in improving the (very little) knowledge I have of woodworking and joinery. I'm a newby here so was interested to know if the woodworking facilities are open to use daytimes Monday to Sunday?

Hi Spence;

Welcome to the group.  Once you've done your PL(A)YWOOD induction, you can use the PL(A)YWOOD hand tools 24/7.  If you have your own tools, you can come and use the facilities at the London Hackspace without doing an induction.  Otherwise, the group meets every Wednesday evening from 7pm, so that's your best bet if you'd like to get some tips and tricks from other members.

Hi I'm Ben, 

I'm interested in making some furniture and first of all planing some wood on the planer. I just wanted to check that you guys were meeting this Wednesday (the 29th)?

Hi Ben;

Welcome to the PL(A)YWOOD group.  Fingers crossed I'll be able to make it this Wednesday - I might be a bit too far out to get to the Hackspace in time.  There should be a few of the group present.  I'll try to organise someone else to do inductions if I cannot make it.

Hi Will,

I went down tonight but the girl I spoke to - sorry I've forgotten her name - said that PL(A)YWOOD didn't give training on the planer or other power tools and that I would need to speak to someone else on this. Another person mentioned Mathew Gill?

Do you know who I should speak to so that I can get some training on the planer?

Many thanks

Ben

[Will]

Hi Ben,

Yep, you will need to contact Matthew. He is a friendly chap and very thorough, so you will get all the info you need.

The planer blades are being sharpened at the moment, but it should be back in action soon.

I have cc'd Matthew.

Hi all,

I'm Ben - I make weird stuff.   I would quite like to make it look weird on purpose rather than accidentally, so would love to absorb some of your collective knowledge.

I'm also very keen to help out in any way I can.  Do let me know if I can spread the love.

[Ben "Bennage" Vaughan]

...also, am I right in thinking there will be a few of you around this Wednesday (13th)?

[Felix Ackermann]

Hi Ben,

Welcome to Playwood! We all make weird stuff in a way, so you fit right in. I will be there on Wednesday and will run the induction at 7.15pm sharp.

Looking forward to meet you,

Felix

Hi I'm Tim.  I commute in from Essex so can rarely make the space since it moved to new quarters.

I've built a few things out of wood, mostly using a Kreg pocketscrew jig (like my Son's overcrib changing mat & an 8ft scale model of Thomas the Tank Engine).  As I like to make big random things, the space often isn't the best place to conduct them, but I'm missing many key skills I'd like to learn, so hope to come by and pick peoples brains.

Recently got a wood lathe with bowl turner for no reason other than it looked fun.  I'd really like to make some wooden bowl but lack any sort of lathe training, so if anyone is about who can give me some pointers so I don't lose any digits it'd be appreciated.

[Sam Roots]

Hi all,

I'm Sam, I joined the Hackspace a few months ago but would like to get more into woodwork and furniture making over the summer. Would be great to meet some of the Pl(a)ywood crowd this evening if you're about. :)

Cheers-

S.

Hi all, I'm Kate, I'm new to Hackspace. I'm really interested in practicing and learning woodwork skills. I have an idea that I'd like to make myself a stool. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone on 27th and maybe having an induction if possible. K

[Felix Ackermann]

Hi Kate,

Nice to meet you and welcome to Playwood. We will run an induction at 7.15 pm.

Looking forward to meet you in person tomorrow,

Felix
