Restoring Hand Planes
Collector Project: As my journey into woodworking continues, I find myself reaching more and more for hand tools (hand planes in particular) to achieve that exact fitting of parts and/or surfacing of panels.

In This Issue
Building Base Cabinets – Part 3
Cabinet Project: This article is the third in a series of five that will explore many of the issues and cabinet styles for those of you who want to build kitchen and bathroom cabinets.
Sleigh Bed
Furniture Project: This pine sleigh bed is an elegant addition to any bedroom. It has a very traditional country styling that fits in with almost any decor. This plan details construction of a double-sized bed, to fit a standard 54" x 75" mattress set.
Drawer Slide Attachment Jig
Cabinet Jig: I have been involved in carpentry for the last 30 years. During that time I have always been one to look for an easier way to do things.
Wood Movement
Wood Science: We didn’t invent wood. We invented plywood, particle board, oriented strand board, medium density fibreboard, and a whole host of other materials, but wood, in its simplest form, was not invented by us.
Surface Preparation
Wood Finishing: Most woodworkers will agree: the fun is in the making, not the finishing.
Circus Elephant
Wood Craft: Everyone loves a circus, especially when the elephants make their entrance.
Leigh Mortise and Tenon Jig
Canadian Tools: The mortise and tenon is arguably one of the most widely used joints in the woodworker’s repertoire.
Lamp Pulls
Wood Turning: Most ceiling fans, and many lamps, come with lower quality, machine turned pulls. They are practical, but they are often far from attractive. So, why not replace those pulls with an attractive piece made from turned exotic wood?
Blanket Box
Simple Project: Looking for a project that won’t take a long time to complete or cost a small fortune? This smaller version of a blanket box is a simple and inexpensive project. Treasure chests and blanket boxes have been used throughout history. Timeless and beautiful, this project is sure to be passed on through your family for generations.
Design Your Own Projects With CAD
Software Review: Why design your own projects? Using plans is OK, but what about something you can’t find a plan for? Or what if you have a unique need that no one has designed a project for? Designing your own projects solves these problems. In fact for some, designing a project is almost as much fun as building it.
