Turning a project from a Prototype or a Drawing: FOUR WAYS collaboration February 1, 2026. Today marks the third anniversary of the Four ways collaboration. I had the honor of selecting the topic for Turning a project from a Prototype or a Drawing: FOUR WAYS collaboration February 1, 2026.

Today marks the third anniversary of the Four ways collaboration. I had the honor of selecting the topic for February 1 and I chose to focus on a prototype or a drawing. Each of us could turn anything we liked but we had to show our design work in the form of a prototype or a drawing. I will show both methods in this video as I proceed to make a castle box from Ash.
Please watch Tomislav, Mike, and Richard's videos on this topic. The links to each of their videos is below.
Thank you for watching and I would love to hear your comments, like this video and share it. Sam
