Woodwork

[Arianwen Lloyd]

Hi, 

I want to make a gift for someone of a wooden Welsh love spoon.  Do you know if the Hacksace has the tools to make this and also where I'd source the wood for this?   

Many thanks,

Ari

Hello,

We certainly have some chisels and carving knives (including a crook knife if I recall correctly).

I'm not sure if we really have the types of chisel needed for relief carving, but I could probably find mine and bring them along at some point. Most of them are nearly unused.

There is also some spare wood, which you may be able to use for it but it is mostly random offcuts of other people's projects.

Hi!  Certainly if you had a design, you could start by roughing it out on the bandsaw or scroll saw, assuming you're starting with something plank-like.  Someone else might be able to advise the best tools for the job (someone's bound to have gouges and similar - I have a feeling we might have some small carpentry chisels somewhere), and might even be able to discuss where to find appropriate woods.  If you need to practice with the tools, as Joseph mentioned there's loads of different offcuts of softwoods and other random pieces, if you wanted to drop in on an open evening.

Have you found our Discord?  There's a fair collection of people on there regularly ^_^ https://york.hackspace.org.uk/discord

Hi Joseph, 

Thanks for getting back to me, much appreciated. 

I'll come along to the open evening on Wednesday and take a look at the wood and equipment if that's ok?

Many thanks,

Ari

Hi Nick, 

That's great advice, thank you. 

I have no experience with woodwork so any tips are gratefully appreciated. 

Thanks again,

Ari

Hello again,

I've just had a look, and we do indeed have some small gouging tools/chisels, so if you drop by, you can probably use them.
