Though I’ve been writing for newspapers and magazines for 25 years, it’s nonetheless a thrill to be on the quilt or the entrance web page. This month, a campaign-style bookcase I constructed for a buyer is on the quilt of the October 2014 difficulty of Fashionable Woodworking Journal.
The folding clamshell bookcase is my very own design that’s impressed by bookcases I’ve noticed and measured throughout the previous couple of years in my analysis for “Marketing campaign Furnishings.” The bookcase is in sapele. The end is garnet shellac.
It’s a extremely good difficulty of the journal, general. And in case you don’t subscribe, right here’s the place you possibly can treatment that.
Along with my piece, there’s a terrific article by Willard Anderson on restoring wooden-bodies bench planes. And Don Williams, the writer of “To Make as Completely as Attainable” has plans for a intelligent sawhorse that folds flat.
Oh, and Peter Follansbee, the writer of “Make a Stool from a Tree” is now the Arts & Mysteries columnist. (Congrats to each Peter and the journal.)
