Japanese Kendama Game: This trendy toy draws on traditions of classic ball-and-cup games. Making it also teaches you turning skills like creating a jam chuck and turning a wooden ball.
Standing Laptop Desk: The perfect height for laptop users on the run, this unique standing desk, developed by master woodworker Ian Kirby, serves as a fitting frame for a classically dovetailed drawer.
Jigs and Fixtures -- Longworth Chuck: Build your own Longworth chuck for bowl turning with the use of either a traditional router or a CNC: we provide plans and patterns for both.
Christmas Tree Ornament: Make multiple small ornaments with the "log" construction method.
Tool Review: Benchtop band saws bring strength in small sizes to your shop. Sandor Nagyszalanczy reviews eight of these 9" and 10" models, which can tackle a wide range of cuts.

Longworth Chucks are quite handy for woodturners - they make cleaning up and sanding the bottom of your bowls very easy. The trickiest part of this jig is cutting the arcs. We've helped you bypass all of that math by offering a paper pattern that can easily be glued to your stock. If you've got a CNC setup available to you, we've provided files for 10", 12", 14", 16" and 20" chucks.
Make this challenging game, and while you're at it, learn how to make and use a jam chuck.
Cope-and-stick is a modern, machine-cut joint for right-angle flat frames intended to house a panel. It's the linchpin of present-day frame-and-panel constructions. Think doors. But also think casework. |
