Our cover project is a joiner's tool chest by
Roy Underhill, host of "
The Woodwrights Shop". Not to big and not too small this chest is an ideal project to store your tools and sharpen your skills. We also feature a knock-down outdoor chair by
Simon Watts and a classic huntboard by senior editor
Glen Huey. New bedrock planes from Asia are making news, but are they worth it? Our expert review gives the details. In Jig Journal, we build a no-frills router table that you can build in a few hours and use for years.
Adam Cherubini tackles low-relief carving in
Arts & Mysteries and
Peter Follansbee shows how to
Carve a 17th-Century Panel. Noted chairmaker
Brian Boggs writes his first article for Popular Woodworking, sharing his techniques for
Ebonizing Wood. Our "I Can Do That" project is a magazine rack, and
Bob Flexner helps us choose a finish for color.
