In this configuration, it works well as a bedside table or a lamp table in the living room. woodsmith@woodsmith.com Design Options Wed, 17 Sep 2008 20:32:32 +0100 http://www.woodsmith.com/issues/178/extras/turned-leg-patterns/ The elegant look of this small, drop-leaf table is undeniably eye-catching, but also a bit deceiving. This is no ordinary drop-leaf table — it's a classic swing-leg table. woodsmith@woodsmith.com Pattern Wed, 16 Jul 2008 15:05:10 +0100 http://www.woodsmith.com/issues/178/extras/pocket-hole-joinery/ When you think of pocket hole joinery you probably associate it with mass-produced kitchen cabinets and furniture. The kind that are easy to build and fast to assemble. But this type of joinery is not just for making face frames for cabinets. And you don't have to work in a cabinet shop to use it. Because it's so quick and easy, I find myself relying on it more and more. woodsmith@woodsmith.com Articles Wed, 16 Jul 2008 15:01:42 +0100 http://www.woodsmith.com/issues/178/videos/zero-clearance-insert/ The opening in a zero-clearance insert is just a single saw kerf. And this gives you two main benefits. First, it prevents tearout along the cut line because the cut is supported on both sides. Second, it provides an added measure of safety when ripping thin pieces. woodsmith@woodsmith.com Videos Tue, 15 Jul 2008 19:04:55 +0100 http://www.woodsmith.com/issues/177/extras/pilot-hole-sizes-for-woodscrews/ Once you've chosen a screw for the job, the second part of the equation is drilling a pilot hole to match. A correctly drilled pilot hole is essential to a strong screw joint. woodsmith@woodsmith.com Other Wed, 14 May 2008 15:56:34 +0100 http://www.woodsmith.com/issues/177/extras/5-tier-display-tower-pattern/ Making the cutout handles on the front of each drawer in the 5-tier display tower is a snap using the pattern on this page. After the shelf fronts are made and the locking rabbet joinery is cut, all you’ll need to do is make a hardboard template from this full-size pattern. woodsmith@woodsmith.com Pattern Fri, 09 May 2008 05:00:00 +0100 http://www.woodsmith.com/issues/176/extras/wine-server-brass-overlay-panel/ After I completed the wine server, I decided it needed one last touch. To protect the back of the door from stains and spills, I attached this painted brass panel. woodsmith@woodsmith.com Design Options Thu, 13 Mar 2008 14:01:56 +0100 http://www.woodsmith.com/issues/176/videos/rabbets-on-the-table-saw/ One of the most common tasks in woodworking is cutting a rabbet. A rabbet is really nothing more than a notch that's cut into the edge or the end of a board, and they're used all the time in projects for things like adding a back to the back of a cabinet, or for making drawers. woodsmith@woodsmith.com Videos Wed, 12 Mar 2008 21:55:41 +0100 http://www.woodsmith.com/issues/175/extras/maple-armchair/ To many woodworkers, building a set of chairs can be intimidating. There can be a lot of parts, angles that must be cut and fit, and when you're all done, they have to be both strong and comfortable to sit in. While this chair presents some unique challenges, building it isn't very difficult. Like most woodworking projects, you just need to break it down into smaller steps. woodsmith@woodsmith.com Pattern Wed, 30 Jan 2008 15:11:38 +0100
