Established in 2018 the z.f.w.f.z. workshop is me, James. I have a love of Baltic Birch plywood and the hardware store industrial aesthetic. Baltic Birch plywood’s resistance to warping and high density make it the finest manufactured material and the material of choice for most pieces.
Let's Build A Record Crate
Plant Stand
Two Legged Plant Stand
Our house needed a stand for a wide, lopsided, old plant that’s continually losing leaves. A real thoroughbred of flora. Having seen a minimal little side table online I found the jumping off point. Lovely simplicity. 4 boards attached to each other at 90 degree angles all offset. No need for precise joinery to keep it all flush, always an entry in the pro column.
Changing the two solid “legs” from the inspiration piece to “legs” of vertical slats lightens the design. Additionally, it ties it to the aquarium stand in the same room. The two points of contact with the floor make the piece feel unstable. I like this. Leaning into the piece’s precariousness the wide “leg” is pushed back enhancing the instability. Put a big heavy plant on top and it feels like it will fall over. It doesn’t.
- Red Oak
- Two legs
- Slats
- Looks unstable
- Holds approximately one plant

The Bird Lamp
Trusses And Triangles
One Hundred Foot Line is a sculpture by Roxy Paine. The kids always called it the rat tail. Me too. It’s displayed on Nepean Point, an area behind the National Art Gallery, in Ottawa. If it's witch's tit cold see it from the cafeteria. So tall, so thin, so shiny. One day in the workshop I tried cutting and glueing a dowel at odd angles tapering down to thin point resembling this sculpture. I did poor job. It looked like someone who's never seen a stick a make one from 2X4s using only an audio description of a stick as a guide. I tried again and again. Still brown and sticky. Oh goody! A pile of homemade sticks stacked in a corner. Maybe I could make even more sticks and attach them together to make a coat rack. Nah, I’ll make a floor lamp that kinda looks like a bird. Or an electric chair. Burn the sticks.
