- The article'squality 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". SeeAssessment 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
[edit]Please add any woodworking articles you believe are needed. Please remove blue links after you have checked them out and add toStubs 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 theCategory:Woodworking stubs.
Before adding an article, please search under various possible names. If the article already exists under another name, please create aredirect 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.

- Clamp (can't have too many)
- 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) MoveClamp toClamp (tool) 2) MoveCLAMP toClamp (Japanese animation) 3) Create a disambiguation page calledClamp which will link to the above and mention the other meanings. Then on theClamp (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.SilentC05:45, 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.Luigizanasi05:58, 5 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- It's a late reply, butCLAMP has recently been moved toClamp (manga artists) now, with the all-caps variant changed into a redirect toClamp, after all related articles had been fixed. This should clean things up a bit. -Cyrus XIII05:49, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Waterstone andOil stone, possibly as part ofWhetstone (tool) or better yet, merge all into aSharpening stone article that would also describe the techniques. (provided article on Japanese waterstones under "Waterstone".Grindstone (tool) also exists, but more in the context of early caveman type uses.

Note thatStanley Works andCraftsman (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
[edit]Some may already be more than stubs. If so, please remove them from the list and add them toWikipedia: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 throughCategory:Woodworking stubs,Category:Tool stubs,Category:Furniture stubs, andCategory:Architecture stubs and culling non-woodworking related articles. No doubt mistakes were made: some do not belong here, while others are missing.

Articles needing expansion/improvement
[edit]With explanation of requirements
- Drill bit Get up to Featured List status (95% there).Ksenon05:33, 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.SilentC23:04, 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. --Cloveious05:24, 2 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 ofgimlet, brace, eggbeater, hand-held electric drills, drill press, etc. - 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, soUser:Graibeard atWikipedia:WikiProject Metalworking decided to put together a completely new article. He needs help from someone with more woodworking experience. Mostly done byLuigizanasi, 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.SilentC03:14, 13 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
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.Luigizanasi06:09, 13 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]- History of Wood carving - needs clean-up & wikification.— KaiserB23:01, 11 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Waterstone - needs clean-up & wikification.Luigizanasi17:02, 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.SilentC04:01, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- WoodworkingChisel section needs expansion, different types of chisels (bevel edge, firmer, mortising, carving, etc.) as well as description of uses in paring and chopping.Luigizanasi16:04, 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.Luigizanasi22:06, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Redirects/disambiguations needed
[edit]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.

- I made a start - stuck a load of references in, and expanded a fair amount. Still needs work though.Carre14:30, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
