The Artisan Soul: Crafting Your Life into a Work of Art (repost)




Erwin Raphael McManus, "The Artisan Soul: Crafting Your Life into a Work of Art"


ISBN: 0062270273 | 2014 | EPUB | 208 pages | 461 KB


In The Artisan Soul, Erwin Raphael McManus, author, thought leader, and founder of MOSAIC in Los Angeles, pens a manifesto for human creativity and the beginning of a new renaissance. McManus not only calls us to reclaim our creative essence, but reveals how we can craft our lives into a work of art. There are no shortcuts to quality, and McManus celebrates the spiritual process that can help us discover our true selves.




McManus demonstrates that we all carry within us the essence of an artist. We all need to create, to be a part of a process that brings to the world something beautiful, good, and true, in order to allow our souls to come to life. It"s not only the quality of the ingredients we use to build our lives that matter, but the care we bring to the process itself. Just like baking artisan bread, it"s a process that"s crafted over time. And God has something to say about how we craft our lives. With poignant, inspirational stories and insights from art, life, history, and scripture interspersed throughout, McManus walks readers through the process of crafting a life of beauty and wonder.

Subject: Woodworking/DIY




The 7-volume DVD set includes:



WOODWORKING ESSENTIALS 1


Lifelong woodworker Paul Sellers teaches you to efficiently shape wood using traditional hand tools. You"ll learn simple, fast shaping methods for making completed projects such as bowls, spoons, and stools.




Paul takes you step-by-step through skills and techniques historically used for training artisan apprentices; yet, in just a few days you will readily understand properties of working wood with hand tools.




Working with award-winning filmmakers, Paul has created a new apprenticeship for training woodworkers of every skill level.



WOODWORKING ESSENTIALS 2


You will master the housing dado, dovetail, and mortise and tenon joints using only ten basic hand tools. Paul shows you how to use each tool to their full potential and demonstrates the construction of each joint.



MASTER DOVETAILS


Paul Sellers teaches you to make a completed Shaker-inspired box using intricate dovetailed joints, precise planing techniques, and the importance of layout procedure.



MASTER HOUSING DADOES


Master Housing Dadoes continues to focus on traditional joinery skills. Paul teaches you a number of techniques to master Housing Dadoes. You"ll have the ability to make a range of elegant bookcases through Paul"s instruction, which develops the key elements learned in Woodworking Essentials 1 and Woodworking Essentials 2.



MASTER MORTISE AND TENONS


In Master Mortise and Tenons, you"ll master the hand-cut, haunched Mortise and Tenon joint and create an heirloom-quality, solid oak side table. You will learn how to edge-joint a tabletop, and become skilled in spokeshave techniques such as shaping arches and refining legs. You"ll also learn Paul"s reliable surface-finishing techniques to complete your table.




Paul Sellers continues to reinforce the essential concepts of the previous four DVDs. You can then apply these principles in many future projects.



MASTER EUROPEAN WORKBENCHES


In Master European Workbenches, you"ll use the Mortise and Tenon, housing joints and elements you’ve learned in the six previous DVDs to build a sturdy European Workbench using locally sourced wood.




Without requiring a bench to work from, Paul Sellers gives practical solutions to chopping mortises and making tenons, laminating the benchtop and more. You’ll cut strong joints by hand, giving your bench the stability needed for a solid work center. You can customize your workbench to a size that suits you, and add fitted drawers and vices. You can then apply the elements learned to many projects in the future.



MASTER SHARPENING


In Master Sharpening Paul Sellers teaches you his remarkable methods that guarantee surgically sharp cutting edges every time, and saws that slice through wood like butter.




Sharpness is the most important skill all woodworkers must master to work wood effectively using hand tool methods. Following Paul’s methods ensures that edge-tool sharpening takes no more than two minutes.
