Feature Project
6 / Formal Hall Table
This elegant project offers plenty of woodworking challenges — long tapered legs, optional scroll sawn corner brackets, beading around the drawers, and solid walnut construction.
Shop Project
18 / Roll-Around Storage Cart
A unique open design makes this more than just a utility cart. The contrast between the cherry and maple pieces makes it a handsome addition to any room. And look closely — those cherry pieces on the side are actually the drawer runners.

26 / Table Saw Tune-Up
Think you should be getting better results from your table saw? Follow these simple tips, and you should notice real improvement in your saw’s performance. Best of all, you can do a tune-up in less than an afternoon — and you don’t need any special tools.
Weekend Project
30 / Bracket Wall Shelf
Two shelves. Two different styles. But both versions are built with the same basic procedures. And it’s easy to make either shelf whatever length you need to fit the space on your wall.
Reader's Jig
34 / Dado Jig
A simple groove makes it easy to position this jig perfectly every time you rout a dado. An adjustable stop sets the length for stopped dadoes. Or remove the stop and use the jig as a straightedge for routing dadoes all the way across a panel.
