Shawn Graham needs to decorate the walls of his woodworking school, Wortheffort in Austin, Texas. So I cleaned the scanner of drool after dealing with the cover for “Calvin Cobb: Radio Woodworker!” and have four new posters for you.
These are all suitable for 18” x 24” at 600 dpi – just perfect for the poster-printing machine at Staples, Office Depot or your other-named office supply house.
The first poster, shown above, is of an original image I purchased about four years ago. No picture better sums up the craft for me. A good bench. A huge pile of debris. A pair of dividers. A deer-in-headlights look that can be fixed only by a beer.
The other three images were drawn by Charles H. Hayward and are from his “Recognising the Styles” series in The Woodworker magazine, which shows the stylistic development of a particular furniture form. Here we have posters on chairs, tables and sideboards.

I hope to see these in the bathrooms of woodworking schools everywhere – just like I used to find copies of the November 2009 issue of Popular Woodworking Magazine in woodworking school bathrooms. A lot. Don’t know why.

Ah yes, November of aught-9. I remember it well.
Thank you. The link for the sideboards links to the Tables file. While I haven’t printed them, they do make nice screen backgrounds. Thanks for taking the time to scan, enhance and post them.
Fixed. Sorry about that.
Any chance of a poster with M. Ruffman?

Hey Chris you will be able to take Mrs Schwartz shopping with all the money you are saving giving away these free posters:)
They are excellent.
Cheers
Excellent indeed. Didn’t notice the little pooch nested in the shavings until just now. Looks comfy!
What are you suggesting, Chris. Megan is the pin up girl of the woodworking community? I can see that…
Yes, yes, Chris does seem to lose himself in potty-mouth innuendo sometimes (like the campaign chest t-shirt), but — on the other hand — he could be referring to the awesome curves Meghan put on the LVL’s sliding deadwoman.
I have often wanted to take a glory shot of myself with my compass 🙂
Well done choice of posters here 🙂
“deer-in-headlight look” and so he should as I see the traces of a buckshot that went through his bench along his right leg
I took a class at Shawn’s place last night. I can confirm two things: 1) Shawn’s very good and his school is great. Highly recommended for anyone in the Austin area; 2) all the posters, from the Nevers workbench to the sideboards (except, actually, our carpenter with the compass), are in the restroom of the Wortheffort school.
