The clincher is that it’s inexpensive, easy to build, and easy to store when not in use. woodsmith@woodsmith.com Free Plan Tue, 29 Sep 2009 14:59:01 +0100 http://www.woodsmith.com/issues/185/extras/circular-saw-cutting-guides/ The two circular saw cutting guides featured in the article in Woodsmith No. 185 offer a big return for a small investment in time and material. The design is pretty basic and once the guides are completed, your cuts will be smoother, more accurate, and require less effort. woodsmith@woodsmith.com Free Plan Tue, 29 Sep 2009 14:40:36 +0100 http://www.woodsmith.com/issues/184/extras/thin-strip-ripping-jig/ When it comes to cutting strips thinner than 1?4", the conventional method of setting the rip fence for the width of the cut isn’t always the safest method. Trapping the thin strip between the fence and the blade can result in the workpiece being kicked back at high speed. But moving the fence between cuts so the strip falls to the outside of the blade requires tedious measuring. A safer and more reliable way to cut the strips is to use this simple jig. woodsmith@woodsmith.com Free Plan Wed, 05 Aug 2009 18:48:56 +0100 http://www.woodsmith.com/issues/184/extras/frame-and-easel-optional-size/ Treasured photographs and artwork deserve a distinctive place in any home.

This design features three storage bays — plenty of room to stow away some clutter. To organize the space, I used inexpensive baskets from a housewares store. If you need to change the dimensions of the bench to suit a different basket size, we’ve created a handy part-size calculator. woodsmith@woodsmith.com Design Options Wed, 11 Mar 2009 13:00:00 +0100
