Heirloom Project
6 / Night Stand
There’s a lot of woodworking that goes into building this project: dovetailed drawers, frame and panel doors, and a unique case featuring sturdy corner posts and double-layered panels. It will be a welcome addition to any bedroom.
Woodworking Technique
14 / Drilling Mortises
The first step toward a strong mortise and tenon joint is making a square, accurate mortise. Here’s our quick method for making hassle-free mortises with just a drill press and a couple chisels.
Kitchen Project
16 / Plate Storage Rack
Get your nice dishes out of the cupboard with this country-style plate rack. It has routed grooves and shelf space for displaying plates, bowls, and knickknacks. And we’ve designed it with a worry-free hanging system of interlocking cleats.
Feature Project
24 / Hoosier-Style Cabinet
Before built-in cabinetry, Hoosier cabinets were popular all-purpose kitchen workstations. This one features traditional frame and panel construction, reproduction hardware, and an antique-looking finish. Plus, it’s sized to be practical for today’s homes.
