Woodworker's Journal | Woodworking | How To | Free Plans - - 1 views

  •  
    This site offers a large variety of woodworking recipes for a very low cost. It gives me ideas and designs to work on with no design required prior. It gives me the ability to go into the shop whenever I want and work on a project. This source is definitely a helpful one due to its low cost and bountiful. It sells complete recipes with cost ranging from $1 to $50, a fair price for allowing to skip the day long planning period of projects. Compared to other sources this one rates fairly average and does not necessarily wow me. I would recommend this to anyone looking to do woodworking, but doesn't like sketching models and plans. In conclusion I will use this source to get cheap plans for small work projects and slow days. It didn't really effect my learning but it certainly gave me a good amount of resources.

    The main points of this chapter was to talk about how buildings interact with people on an emotional level. It taught me about warm and cold materials, psychological ownership, and color interactions (IE hungry colors). If someone asked about this book I would call it one of the most helpful beginners books. This source was most certainly helpful to me in many different ways and rates highly on my list of sources. This book is reliable, unbiased, and chock full of information and definitely on my list of book I would recommend. In conclusion this book helped to move my subject into the psychology of architecture and how it affects others and its environment. I will use this source as a reference to most of my knowledge. The book opened my eyes to the complexity of architecture and how it affects the people around me.

    http://www.whileshenaps.typepad.com/ This is more akin to my kind of toy making in the fact that she is a small business owner and toy maker. However she works with plush soft toys. This still gives a creative look into the mind of a toy maker. I would recommend this to anyone who wanted to go into sewing or toy making.
