Understanding Timber Joints: A Visual Guide

I recently redesigned some of my old posters for a design and technology woodwork class. The aim was to create visually engaging and informative materials that would aid students in understanding various concepts related to woodwork. The topics covered in these posters include timber joints, measurements, chamfers, bevels, housing joints, and mitre joints.

Timber joints are a crucial part of woodworking, as they determine how different pieces of wood are connected together. My posters provide detailed diagrams and explanations of each type of joint, helping students to visualize and understand their applications. Measurements are another essential aspect, and accurate measuring can make or break a project.

To bring these posters to life, I used Blender for rendering the images. And did the layout and design using Affinity Publisher, trying to organize the information in a clear manner.

If you’re interested in downloading the digital files of these posters, click the link provided. These resources can be a valuable addition to any woodworking classroom or workshop, providing both beginners and advanced learners with the knowledge they need to succeed in their projects. I hope these posters will help many students in their woodworking journey.

Couldn’t find it, so I made it and you can have it!

This year I got another new (old!) classroom to teach my year 8’s a course called Systems and Design and with some colleagues we also started a Code Club once a week. Well the walls in this room are a bit bare and could do with some colour. I wanted to put posters up that promoted our new Makey Makey’s and encouraged kids to come to Code Club. Well to get to the point I could not find any Makey Makey graphics that suited my needs so I knocked one up in good old Illustrator. Here are the files if you want them, have fun, make nerdy geeky cool posters for your walls, or worksheets for your class. Feel free to link any cool work below in the comments.
