Catch A Woodworking Class In 2010
The snow is finally melting. You can see the greenish-brown grass again. That means we are heading into spring. That, in turn, signifies that I need to get busy preparing for upcoming teaching gigs and you need to get on the phone to schedule classes. So to be as self-serving as I can – and to help get you motivated to attend the schools that have so graciously invited me to teach – here’s ...

Generations In The Making
A couple weeks back, I wrote about the step-chair I was making for my niece, per a Fitzpatrick family tradition that began in the 1950s. The project plan was from U-Bild, which discontinued the plan probably in the early 1990s, said a company official who cited poor sales as the likely culprit. But I had a fair number of people request the plan, so I e-mailed U-Bild again, and they kindly gave ...

Talking Birdhouse With A.J. Hamler
We sat down (metaphorically) with A.J. Hamler, author of the upcoming "Easy to Build Birdhouses" to get his take on the subject: Q: Why birdhouses? A: Birdhouses are among the most satisfying of woodworking projects. They’re fast to make, require only small amounts of materials, and can be made with just a basic toolkit. Besides, birds are sneaky. Leave your windows open for even a minute and...

SawStop Safety System Saga Steams Forward
Blade-braking technology is a vital part of the table saws from SawStop – the ability to stop a spinning blade in 1/100 of a second is what put the company on the map. SawStop table saws are the only woodworking machines with this technology. Is that about to change? Below is a link to a Boston Globe article detailing a jury-awarded verdict for a lawsuit that's the first of its kind. We're w...

Popular Woodworking Magazine By The Numbers
I dislike writing about the magazine business because it's not useful for our readers, who expect us to write about woodworking instead of engaging in navel-gazing. But because we have received a lot of questions and mail about the merger of Popular Woodworking and Woodworking Magazine, I'm going to make an exception, lift up my shirt and take a quick peek. First: Thanks for your letters –...

SketchUp Shop Class Coming Soon
Along with updating the look of the magazine, we've been busy working on some new ways to share knowledge. We're big fans of the free modeling program SketchUp and in the next week or so you'll have the chance to join me in a two-part online class. And a few weeks after the classes are available online, you'll be able to purchase them on DVD. Later this year, we'll have more "Shop Classes" availa...

'Tool Crib Of The North' Is Back As 'Acme Tools'
Woodworkers of old (of more than a decade, anyway) may remember the Tool Crib of the North (TCN) as among the premier online dealers in woodworking tools and supplies. Well before he was editor (and before he dove headfirst into the hand tool world), Christopher Schwarz relied on the expertise of the company's call center staff when making machinery purchases – because, with more than 60 yea...

WGBH Returns To Woodworking
Most woodworkers followed Norm Abram at New Yankee Workshop and you know how fast the word of his retirement spread across the woodworking community. It was a sad day indeed. The fact that WGBH, Boston’s public television station, no longer has a woodworking show on air is something we have to accept … or do we? It seems New England’s most prolific PBS affiliate has a new show in the work...

Planes That Make Me Say SQUEEEEE! (And They Work)
Cute as a bug's ear – though far more useful than any insect's tympanal organ – are the new detail rabbet planes from Veritas (the high-end, made-in-Canada house brand of Lee Valley Tools). These wee planes are machined so the sole is square to the sides, and they're very narrow, so they're good for laying flat on a tenon cheek to trim small tenon shoulders in lieu of a shoulder plane, or w...

What's That Angle
When you’re learning something new, it’s hard to sift what you need to know out of what you assume you need to know. You can spend a lot of time and money on something that doesn’t move you any closer to where you want to be. There are plenty of these traps on the way to becoming an accomplished woodworker, and it doesn’t help the beginner that there are plenty of pundits and purveyors of...

Looking For The Best Veneer Work
Woodworkers often labor without a lot of recognition or reward. If you have a project that utilizes veneer, here is a chance to get both. VeneerTech, a North Carolina based supplier of veneer is calling for entries for its annual Craftsman's Challenge, open to all woodworkers. The six categories run the gamut from architectural woodwork to student work, with a $1000 prize for each category and a ...

Festool Improves Its C12 Drill-driver
Since the Festool C12 drill/driver’s release, the Popular Woodworking shop has had the tool in use. In fact, someone in the shop (I’ll not mention the name) keeps this tool close at hand; it’s the first drill/driver to which she reaches. In today’s world of battery-powered drills, models come and go. In the December 2005 issue, Popular Woodworking Magazine named the Festool C12 (then ...

A Family Tradition, Ready For Some Finish
Thursday, I wrote that I was going to make a "Step-Chair" (U-BILD plan No. 102) for my niece, per family tradition. What I didn't mention was that I felt the need to complicate things (of course); that turned what could easily have been accomplished in an hour into a 27-hour project. Instead of using a piece of 8"-wide S4S lumber as directed, I decided to glue up the necessary panels ...

Wilde Got It Wrong
In The Importance of Being Earnest, Oscar Wilde wrote, "All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy. No man does. That's his." But Wilde was wrong; I'm actually turning into my grandfather. Like him, I've always been fairly curmudgeonly (just ask my mother!). Like him, I've been known to enjoy a drink after work. And now, like him, I consider myself a woodworker. When my g...
