In This Issue
Bench Hook
Shop Jig: The bench hook is likely one of the most basic tools in the woodworker’s arsenal. Essentially it's a brace against which you hold stock while sawing or planing. A second brace on the bottom of the jig keeps the bench hook from moving while you saw or plane away. That's it. Nothing could be as simple or as easy to build and use.
Wavy Bar Stool
Furniture Project: This project is comprised of five identical laminations joined and mounted on walnut legs. The legs raise the seat to bar height and prevent the chair from rolling backwards.
Shaker Wall Clock
Heritage Project: The Shaker communities reached their height during the 1800's, but the last remaining community at Sabbathday Lake, Maine, still carries on to this day. They are most well known for the enduring legacy of the Shaker furniture style. Simple and unadorned in appearance, it was built with a high degree of craftsmanship with individual craftsmen developing their own discrete ornamentation to set their pieces apart from the others. As the 1800's drew to a close, the Shaker style started to adopt some of the ornamentation of the new Victorian era.
Secretary Desk Part II: Gallery & Finish
Furniture Project: The gallery of a secretary desk helps keep smaller items organized. Mail, pens, and notes as well as other often-used items are conveniently stored and easily accessible.
Plumb Bob
Wood Turning: Although there are many different styles of plumb bobs, they all, in essence, do the same thing: they enable you to establish a vertical line. Plumb bobs are one of the earliest tools know to man.
Portable Spray Booth
Shop Project: Hand rubbed oil and wax finishes are justifiably popular, but there are times when such a finish is not appropriate. For table tops and other surfaces subject to hard usage, water or abrasive products, a modern film finish is the best choice.
Decorative Dovetails with the Incra System
Wood Joinery: The "Game Box" article, which appeared in August/September 2006, Issue #43, showed some sweet decorative dovetails. The dovetails generated a lot of interest among our readers. So we asked Kevin to give more detail on using the Incra jig.
Routing Basics - Part 1
Skill Builder: Perhaps no more than forty or fifty years ago, grooving, decorative edge work and intricate joinery in most small wood shops would have been done by a wide range of hand tools.
Woodchuckle: Projects from Hell
Woodchuckle: In most businesses and endeavors, there always comes a time you will refer to as, "the _____ from hell."
