PHILOSOPHY

Master Control’s Woodshop & Toys has been designing and building fine handmade woodworking items one piece at a time since 1979. My approach to woodworking design is inspired by the clean lines and details, graceful proportions. Quality craftsmanship and focus on function that is the foundation of woodworking designs. We believe that the natural beauty of the wood was all the ornamentation a piece of woodworking needed. This approach to woodworking design results in simple, graceful, well constructed product that fulfills its function and is built from beautiful lumber.

STABILITY & DURABILITY

The ideal woodworking project must combine durability, functionality, aesthetics, and appeal. It should captivate like a gallery sculpture. Whether crafting a paddle or an SVG digital download, stability is key. When held, it should feel custom-made for your hand, creating a lasting impression.

IDIOMATIC SUSTAINABILITY

Each of my woodworking projects is designed to be individually connective and unique designed. They vary in shape, size, design, added detail, and of course wood choices. For me, to is important to make each product unique. Furthermore, we work from scratch on every creation. Sketching designs directly onto the wood before starting work with a saw. Using any number of other woodworking tools.

When designing a new woodworking project I try to make it unique. I try to keep in mind that most of my customers do not have a limitless budget. It is important to never compromise the integrity of a piece to reduce the price. I try to keep cost in mind when designing woodworking products. Often a little forethought in the design stage goes a long way. It can result in considerable savings in production.

DESIGN FOR HUMAN

The central steps in the design process involve collecting the specific project requirements. The customer needs to respond to qualifying inquiries. These are determined by factors such as wood type, color scheme, and other preferences. They will be presented with initial design concepts for feedback. This process aims to capture and reflect their desires accurately.

The choice of using a type of wood is a personal one. Furthermore, while rooted in many practical advantages, it should use a sustainable material. Wood warmth and tactile qualities provide a welcoming elements. Structurally, it has its own form of expression. It’s structural qualities can inform and provide a logical clarity to the design.

SIMPLIC PHILOSOPHY

As design and form emerge, interpret client requirements, including wood, responsibilities, sustainability, and usability. Evolve without restraint during design process, re-evaluate during creation.
