Google Releases SketchUp 8
I'm spending the next few days in Boulder, Colo., at the Google SketchUp 3D Base Camp. Base Camp is a gathering of 250 expert SketchUp users from around the world. It's always fun to meet people face to face that you know from the Internet. And after a morning of great hospitality and excellent food, there was the announcement that a new version of SketchUp is now available. I'll have a full repo...

Problems Viewing Videos? This Should Help.
Recently, there was an update to the Adobe's Flash Player program and this caused many readers to experience problems when viewing the Popular Woodworking Magazine videos. The most commonly reported problem is that a black box appears where a video should be. If you're experiencing video problems, here are a few steps you can take. 1. Uninstall Your Version of Flash In some cases, your Int...

Great American Furniture
As woodworkers, we can build whatever type of furniture we'd like. Some styles require more complicated skills and time (early American pieces, a la Duncan Phyfe), while others are deceptively simple, but require time-intensive hand work and a sense of sculpture (such as a Sam Maloof rocker). Two styles that have enduring popularity are Shaker and Arts & Crafts. Both forms offer simple lines,...

IWF Reports: Steel City Tool Works Is Alive & Well
At the Association of Woodworking & Furnishings Suppliers show in Las Vegas three years ago, Steel City Tool Works (SCTW) took the woodworking world by storm with the introduction of granite tops on table saws. Granite used in woodworking machines extended to jointers, lathes and even planers. During the next couple years, the woodworking business as we know it changed. Companies found a d...

IWF Report: Finishing Room Storage
In most woodworking shops, space is at a premium. If you could increase the size of your shop, you would. And unless you have oodles of space, I'm willing to bet your finishing room is even more tightly crammed. In fact, many of us move the machines to the side and finish in the same space. When finishing a piece of furniture with many parts, such as a chest of drawers, it's especially impor...

And Now For The Chisel
Working on this little block has been an interesting experience, and I hope you'll give it a try. Explaining it on the blog has made me think about a lot of basic things that have become habit over the years. The Gottshall block is a hand tool education, and one of the lessons is that what works going with the grain will need to be adapted when going across the grain. Slicing off the edges of lon...

Mitered Door Frame In SketchUp
I received a question from a reader, concerning a problem he was having modeling a kitchen cabinet door. In my book and video I cover how to make a similar door using a cope-and-stick joint. This door uses the same profile and groove, but the corners of the door frame are mitered. Here's my technique, and it's also a good way to make anything with a molded edge and mitered corners. This stumps a ...

You Can Really Do That
One of the greatest moments in marketing history was the mass adoption of power tools following World War II. Before then, the standard thinking was that just about anyone could pick up a saw and cut a piece of wood. Within 20 years that notion became an eccentricity. If you want to sell anything to a woodworker, the first thing to do is sell him on the idea that he can't possibly perform a given...

Better Than A Knife
When you work with power tools, machine set up is everything. The quality of your joinery, and your entire project is based on your level of accuracy at that stage. With hand tools, layout is everything. You can't depend on your table saw's fence to make certain that every cut is the same, so how can you be sure of consistency? The best way is to gauge your measurements whenever you can. Set a me...

IWF Report: New Benchtop Saw From General
In my work, I hear from many of the woodworking machine manufacturers. One company stands out as a front runner when it comes to new machines coming to market: General International. As I survey their booth at the International Woodworking Fair, I saw many machines with a "new tool" sign. There are new band, scroll and table saws in the booth, and a new 16" double-surface planer. Plus there are a...

IWF Report: New Stuff From Rockler
I had to move from one end of the hall to the other in order at the International Woodworking Fair to keep my appointment with the folks at Rockler, but I wasn't disappointed with what they had to show me. Here's a recap. Let's start with the bench cookies. Many woodworkers picked up a set of these hockey-puck-like shop helpers, and I'll bet you thought these were a great "one-hit wonder." Not...

Winners Of The Veneer Tech Craftsman's Challenge
Earlier this summer, I made a series of posts on this blog about how veneer is made. The photos in those posts came from a trip I made in June to the Veneer Tech plant in North Carolina to serve as a judge in the 2010 Veneer Tech Craftsman's Challenge. This morning the winners were announced at IWF in Atlanta. The Grand Prize winner, which was also the winner of the Cabinetry category wa...

From IWF: New Compact Routers From DeWalt And Porter-Cable
This morning at the International Woodworking Fair (IWF) in Atlanta, DeWalt and Porter-Cable each took the wraps off a new compact router. While there are some differences, there is one shared trait that makes this big news: Both routers are available with a plunge base. Until now, the choice of small plunge-base routers was very limited. Both bases have a 2" plunge capability, a release-to-loc...

Better Than A Pencil
One of the things that can overwhelm a beginning woodworker is the sheer number of choices to make about the simplest things. It doesn't help that there is always someone waiting to tell you that there is a better, faster, easier, or morally superior way to do it. That improved method usually involves a new tool or three. If you don't get a handle on the principles behind the methods, you can get...
