Want it? After making the down-and-dirty folding bookstand in a video last week, I decided to make another pair as a very late Christmas gift. I am not a good friend.

Of course, after building the first bookstand,…. If it still vexes you, however, then this short video might help.

I have received some complaints about the Moxon Double-screw. Not about how it works — I…. I have four bookcases filled with woodworking books in my office at home, another two bookcases in my office at work and boxes and boxes of them in the basement. It is time to do something radical. But until you are clenching like a pro, there are some baby steps you can take.

Peter Follansbee and Mike Siemsen have cleared up the mystery of the pinwheel-shaped wooden nails. The pinwheel shape of the nails is caused by the shell or gimlet bit used to make the hole.

The long edges of the bit bite into the grain, tearing it. When the peg is driven into the hole, it…. The pegs that hold the joinery of old furniture together are always interesting. Whenever I stink at something in woodworking, it becomes my lunch-hour obsession. This is how I learned to saw, to sharpen, to cut moulding by hand, clean my ears, mortising and…. If you ever needed more evidence that woodworkers have always been a parsimonious lot, look no further than the December issue of the British magazine The Woodworker.

In an article on wedging tenons the author offers the above illustration with the comment: Fig. One of the unsung heroes of our Woodworking in America conference is Mike Siemsen. Mike is an accomplished woodworker and teacher from Minnesota, and his enthusiasm is unmatched. There are few things worse than too-soft screwdrivers. Lima beans, Care Bears and eye surgery with a teaspoon immediately come to mind.

Build chairs? You need to wedge all the joints. Traditional doors? Wedge your through-tenons. Wedge everything you can. But where do wedges come from?

The answers to your questions are: 1. Almost any species of wood will do fine for your workbench. There is no quality difference between Veritas and Lie-Nielsen handplanes. Eagle, and sometimes plov. When I stop answering my phone and…. Being able to spot a potential problem is the gift of experience, but it is also like a tranquilizer dart used to take down a rabid African elephant.

Today I was cleaning up the sliding dovetail socket for the fourth and final leg of this French-style workbench…. To modern eyes, old-school workbenches look like they are going to self-destruct.

The legs are tenoned into the benchtop which moves with the seasons. Something has to give, right? After a little tweaking of the mortise, the first leg went in. Assuming, that is, I…. I started cutting the mortises and the dovetail sockets in the benchtop today and I can tell you a few things: 1. Things I hate: Gouging my own eyes out with a spoon, and being pulled away from a project for more than a couple days.

A few weeks ago I posted a blog entry about using a flush-cut saw to slice tenon shoulders. I must have written it poorly because several readers requested a video of the process.

So here you go. A couple details and thoughts: 1. My joints are tight and I get things done. Heck, I can even teach dovetailing to others when pressed. Tenons require a lot of precision sawing if you want to avoid farting around with a shoulder plane, chisel or float.

And teaching others to cut perfect shoulders is a challenge. I usually…. My next project is a close copy of a walnut side table from the White Water Shaker community. I spent a summer afternoon measuring the project and…. Dovetail maestro Rob Cosman again makes us all feel inadequate with his latest video in which he cuts a half-blind dovetail joint in 6 minutes and 52 seconds.

Perfect Butt Joints in Laminate An underscribe router attachment guarantees success. By Brad Holden Long countertops or those that turn corners need butt joints. You can use several methods to make this joint, but the easiest way to get tight-fitting, professional-looking results is with an underscribe attachment on a trim router.

The term underscribe…. During the Woodworking in America Conference, there were two quotes that really stood out from all the bon mots that were hurled. Even though I am percent confident in my ability to join two boards together using the tail-of-the-bird joint, I am always riveted when I get to see how other accomplished woodworkers go about the task.

In fact, when I watch others work, I never fail to pick up some important details. On Saturday at our…. Back in June, some of you might remember that I was building an Ohio copy of a fascinating three-legged Chinese stool. And some of you might also remember how I flamed out at the very end of the project, cutting a single tenon at the wrong angle, ruining the entire thing with no time to….

I make my cauls from stiff wood, such as…. By Seth Keller After I learned to cut tapered legs on the jointer, I never went back to my bandsaw or tablesaw.

Many of the best furniture makers I know who work in historical styles have done a fair bit of restoration or conservation work Last week at the Woodworking in America: Furniture Construction and Design conference, all….

In early Gustav Stickley pieces, doors with divided lights were joined with mitered mullions. My reply has always been: Better too much than too little. And because I am working on a book which should be out this fall on English furniture construction circa , I took an afternoon during my visit to prowl one of the largest….

In my review of drawbore pins in the Summer issue, one of my gripes with many of the tools were the round handles. A round handle plus a round pin equals a tool on the floor. My vintage pins had tapered octagonal handles. They stay put on the bench. I praised the Lee Valley…. During the early stages of learning to cut dovetails, I foolishly tried to read everything I could on the topic.

It was foolish because it would probably take two lifetimes in dog years even to…. Do you like stories about gladiators? How about stories about idiot woodworking editors? This week I was finishing up work on the joined Chinese stool for the cover of the Autumn issue of Woodworking Magazine. I took the components to my shop at home , mostly to avoid all the scatological jokes we all….

With every project there is always some tool that deserves an Academy Award-style acceptance speech. Traditional cut nails can be made from pretty soft steel, especially the useful cut headless brads.

When making through-mortises by hand, one of the occasional problems is that you get a little mallet happy, you drive the mortise chisel a little too deep and you blow out a piece of grain on the exit side. Or you drive a too-tight tenon into the through-mortise, the tenon hits the rim of the….

One of my hobbies is chairmaking. That statement might sound kinda dumb. Making stick chairs uses another part of my brain. And any time I venture into building chairs I have to re-learn some of the rules. In some ways, chairmaking…. In the tool world there is an ugly and erroneous slur.

Anyway, I have no dog in this fight. The real point was that today while I…. I like a good carcase saw in the same way I like to eat most parts of the pig. I like the way that its well-tuned crosscut teeth slice into the grain and leave behind a glassy smooth cut. I like how easy the saws are to start.

While teaching a class on handsawing a couple years ago, one student lost his cool. He was cutting a tenon for his sawbench, and he strayed over the line and the result looked rough to him.

Blacksmith David Maydole was the SawStop of the 19th century. Sometimes hammerheads would fly loose from their handles on the job site. This could be troublesome or deadly because occasionally the steel head would strike a fleshy one the steel usually wins this competition. Some of the best workholding ideas rely on simple wedging action.

This weekend I stumbled onto one more great wedging trick using cut nails. This might be old hat for you. If so, forgive my waste of bandwidth which should be the motto of my blog. The most stressful glue-up of my life was assembling my tool chest in The main carcase had mating surfaces that had to be glued. Foolishly, I chose yellow glue as the adhesive.

As a result, another editor and I spent an hour furiously beating and clamping the chest together. In the end, there…. I got interested in David Maydole, the father of the legendary adze-eye hammer.

Our goal for these columns is to show that attractive, well made projects can be made with a minimal amount of tools and time.

For me, finger joints have always been the nerdy, square cousin to the dovetail. Finger joints are immensely strong when glued properly.

Whenever I get into some serious handwork, I always try to boil down the processes so that I can 1 remember it myself and 2 occasionally explain it to others including a couple children who are slack-jawed with boredom.

Today as I was cleaning up the half-lap joints for the Stickley tabouret on my…. Men have become the tools of their tools.

Question: Looking over the current and past issues of Woodworking Magazine, I see how drawboring or wedging a mortise and tenon joint will improve the strength and fit of the joint.

One of the best things about going to an exhibit of new or antique furniture is getting to examine the joinery , closely and from the inside of the piece. I will pull every drawer out if allowed , stick my head in a carcase and send my fingers probing into the darkest voids.

Like most home woodworkers, my dang day job tends to get in the way of my woodworking. Gerunds, appositives and dangling participles have all conspired to keep me chained to this keyboard.

My goal this week was to complete the top of the table and cut the curved transitions between the apron and cabriole legs. The walnut for the top….

But even if I…. I always enjoy tours of tool factories to see people or robots make things that are useful to my work. How a company can harness hundreds of minds and hands and mechanical pincers to produce things is fascinating, and every tour is surprising and different.

After finishing college, two of my closest friends joined the Peace Corps and were posted to rural Morocco.

Add to the fact that they are normally quite lengthy, and it seems like you have a recipe for a wobbly mealtime.

But after inspecting a fair number of historical examples…. So it should come as no surprise that…. One of my favorite movies as a teen-ager had a scene where a s-era G-man goes to a mystic for help in becoming a superhero.

The G-man shows the mystic , named Sombra , a photo of a caped hero and asks for a magic word to become like him. One of the themes coursing through the next issue of Woodworking Magazine is rethinking the role of nails in woodworking.

Perhaps the most frustrating part of using cut nails was…. A fair number of historical texts recommend this with large-scale joints particularly in timber framing. When I do…. Have you ever wondered why there are specific rules for the sizes of mortise-and-tenon joints? Did you know there are rules?

And that the tenons should be five times as long as they…. One of the curious aspects of investigating drawboring has been the mystery surrounding antique drawbore pins. Almost all of the examples of pins I come across are big , too big for cabinet work, really.

I have looked and looked and can not find a reference to these…. Many cabinets with shelves are built using a common method: You plow dados in the sides of the cabinet. And then you glue the shelves into the dados. Perhaps you glue on a face frame to the carcase; perhaps not. With glue alone, this is a questionable joint. The end grain of the shelf joins….
