Workbench Storage Build Begins

As you can see, I did get into the shop this week to begin on my workbench storage boxes. The thing I most like about building my own design – after 15 plus years building 18th- and early 19th-Century designs for customers – is that I can change the design clear up until I can’t. … Read more »

Quick Jigs for Flat and Square Glue-ups

Anyone who has glued up a few doors knows how frustrating it can be attempting to build assemblies that turn out both flat and square. As I’m working on a cabinet article for the April issue of the magazine, I’m happy to have a few quick jigs on hand that make the process much less … Read more »

Cheap & Simple Dado Jig

If you follow my woodworking habits, you are well aware that I enjoy using my routers with pattern bits chucked in the collet. The piece I’m working on for the August issue requires repetitive stop cuts that are a 1/4″ wide. As far as I know, pattern bits with a 1/4″ or 1/2″ shank in … Read more »

Shoot ends. Flip your bench hook over to use it as a small shooting board. A heavy plane with a sharp iron makes this easy. A block plane with a dull iron makes it almost impossible.

The single-most important hand-tool appliance? Three simple sticks of wood. Read more »

Guiding the sled. Countersink the screws for the guide. The quartersawn-hardwood guide should show no sign of sloppiness. Paste wax allows the pieces to slide easily.

This jig carries its share of work while increasing the usefulness of your table saw. Read more »

The Making of Tenons

I’ve been working in the shop over the last few days to create mortise-and-tenon joints for a workbench. I usually make the mortise portion of the joint with the dedicated mortise machine. I make my tenons at the table saw using a regular blade with a miter gauge to make the shoulder cut, and a … Read more »

Don’t trap the scrap. Push the work through the blade in one smooth motion. My right hand is on the handle, and my left hand is well above the clamp and saw blade. Because the cut is made on the side away from the fence, the scraps fall harmlessly out of the way.

This jig enables you to safely make a cut on the table saw with the workpiece held vertically as it moves over the blade. Read more »
