Furniture Project: This little half moon table is something that fits well into virtually any living room. It can be used as a decorative piece where a larger table won’t fit or as a snack table that can be moved to any chair side as needed.
Cabinet Project: This project is one of the most popular display cabinets built by woodworkers. If you have valuable items to display, this is the cabinet of choice.
Wood Turning: The body of this piece is turned from one piece of Spanish Olive. The foot is made of African Blackwood. The caps consist of Blackwood with numerous other exotic woods, such as Cocobolo.
Easy Project: When it comes to special days, we all know that February 14, Valentine’s Day, ranks right up there next to birthdays, anniversaries and Christmas. Traditionally (if we know what’s good for us) it means giving something thoughtful to that special someone.
Wood Hobby: This is the first part of a two-part article on making laminated boomerangs
Wood Story: This is not David’s first machine restoration. His cabinet saw, a Unisaw, is a Canadian-made 1960’s model that he restored last winter. He is also in the middle of fixing up a 30-year-old 20” bandsaw.
3D Intarsia: When I started out, I made my intarsia pieces just like everyone else. That is, I glued the finished pieces to a plywood backing. The more intarsia I did, the more I questioned the need for a backing.
Router Tips: Have you ever wished that you could build a cabinet, cupboard or drawer, without using pull knobs, handles or other hardware that might not match your project, or even worse, be a detraction from your design?
Wooden Puzzle: Place a dime in the hole of the coin block. When you push the coin block into the wooden pocket, the dime disappears. Or, a variation on this trick is to have a penny turn into a dime. With a little practice, you’ll soon be turning pennies into dimes and dimes into thin air!
Wood Craft: I have a habit of doodling in my spare time. Whether I’m on the phone, or just passing time, I often doodle. Sometimes a doodle gets a little extra work, and becomes something that I can make into a pattern for an intarsia piece.
Canadian Tools: This is the first in a series of tool reviews, that feature woodworking tools “Made in Canada”
Book Report: While Bill Russel’s book focuses on woodgraining furniture, his techniques can be readily applied to any home improvement or decorating project around the house.
Dust Collection: These days, most of the bandsaws produced by the major manufacturers have some sort of hook-up for dust collection. However, most of them are set up for vacuum cleaner hook-ups and are usually not of sufficient size to hook up an effective dust collector.
The router is an incredible machine that opens up new horizons on your woodworking.
