Yuri Kobayashi’s favourites
|
|
|
In my first “Ask the Artist” column I talked with Yorgo Liapis, who mentioned his favourite internationally made piece was “Being” by Yuri Kobayashi. I contacted Yuri, who was pleased to hear Yorgo loves not only her work, but her work ethic and willingness to help others.

If the thought of carving seems a bit too daunting, you might want to give whittling a try. Carving is about shaping a piece of wood –typically into some preconceived design – with a variety of knives, chisels, gouges, rasps and files. Whittling is also about shaping a piece of wood, but with less of a focus on conforming to any preconceived design and mostly with a knife.

I made this small box with the help of my scroll saw. It can be crafted in many shapes inspired by the natural world. Leaves, flowers and stars are a few options if you want to design a similar box.

How to replace an old window
|
|
|
Upgrading an old window can be a great way to improve the look of your home, and help keep heating and cooling bills down.
|
For this project, the author had two identical window openings with old Pearson-style sliding windows that needed upgrading. The first step was to decide on what they would be replaced with, and he settled on a basic white vinyl framed window from North Star.

Perhaps no more than 40 or 50 years ago, grooving, decorative edge work and intricate joinery in most small wood shops would have been done by a wide range of hand tools.
