Features
Feature Project
6 / Craftsman End Table
This traditional Craftsman table features sturdy legs, a row of narrow spindles, and a dovetailed drawer. But there are also a couple of “secrets” worth a closer look.
Weekend Project
16 / Wall Shelf
Here’s an elegant accent you can build in a weekend. It features a shelf for knickknacks and a row of drawers for a little extra storage space. Build a three-drawer or two-drawer version — or both.
Tools & Techniques
20 / Using Metal Rules
In the Woodsmith shop, we feel that a common tape measure just can’t “measure up” to a high-quality metal rule. So we’ve come up with some techniques for using these rules accurately.
Shop Project
24 / Drill Press Storage Cart
This shop project rolls underneath a drill press table, turning this unused space into a storage center for drill bits, accessories, and more. Plus, there are built-in arms for supporting long pieces.
Jigs and Fixtures
30 / Tenon Jig
At first glance, this looks like a run-of-the-mill tenon jig. But while it’s easy to build, it features an indexing system that makes cutting ¼”, 3/8”, and ½” tenons almost automatic.
