My first house was designed and built from the ground up with the help of my master woodwright father. Pennwood, Mifflintown. 1982. #house #houses #housebuilding #DoItYourself #project #1970s #1980s #Pennsylvania #woodwright #woodworking #craftsman #craftsmanship #interior #interiordesign

A Roubo bookstand. Essentially a wooden hinge made by chiselling out the central hinge parts, then cutting down the wood to create two intertwined flaps that hinge into what looks like two boards in an X shape, but is in fact a single strategically carved board.

A "Roubo" bookstand, from his 200+ year old "The Art Of The Carpenter" (although there's a 600 year old one holding a Quran in the USA). A hinge cut from a single board with no joins, here made into a phone stand. A Roy Underhill Woodwright's shop project. #woodwright #woodwork #carving #handtools
