Torkorli Woodcraft Notes is a small reference site about basic joinery, sanding techniques, and restoring wooden furniture at home. It is maintained by a single editor working from a home workshop in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and is written for hobbyists and home owners rather than commercial shops.
What you will find here
The site collects step-by-step notes on a narrow set of tasks: cutting joints by hand, preparing surfaces for finishing, and repairing older domestic furniture. Each article covers one task at a time, with the goal of being clear enough to follow at the bench.
How the notes are written
Articles are based on common, well-documented woodworking practice and are kept deliberately conservative. Where exact figures such as moisture content or humidity are not certain, the text uses ranges or neutral wording instead of inventing numbers. References point to publicly available sources, including the Government of Canada and Wikimedia Commons.
Images and sources
Photographs on the site come from Wikimedia Commons under their respective Creative Commons or public domain terms. Each image is captioned with its source so readers can trace it back to the original file.
This is an information site. It does not sell tools, take commissions, or offer paid services. Contact is limited to questions and corrections about the published notes.
