For those of you who prefer the digital version of Woodworking Magazine, we’ve just added Issue 10 to our store. It’s $6 and can be downloaded immediately by clicking here.
Issue 10 , the Summer 2008 issue , focuses on different ways to build chests. I know what you’re thinking: There’s a different way to build a chest? Yup. There are several, and many of them seem simple but end up taking more time than they should. Or they require some real fussiness.
So we surveyed the historical crop of techniques, picked the best one and show you how to use it to build a contemporary adaptation of a Shaker blanket box.
Other good stories in this issue include Robert W. Lang’s investigation of the finger joint. His jig for making the machine joint is simpler than a commercial jig, inexpensive and a treat to use (I’ve used it quite a bit). Also, Glen D. Huey tested screws and found that the cheapest screws are the most robust. And what’s really surprising is which screws turn out to be the cheapest. You can read about all the stories in this issue here.
By the way, we’re still working on offering digital subscriptions, so thank you for your patience on this issue.
