The Woodworker Magazine
October 2010 In this
month’s issue: It’s
been a pretty good year
for al fresco
woodworking. Several
months of mainly dry
weather have allowed many
of us to get out of the
workshop and onto the
lawn, the patio or the
drive – anywhere where
there’s enough room to
cut up a few 8 by 4
sheets and assemble that
project that just won’t
fi t between the bench
and the wood store.
Shortage of space is a
common enough problem for
woodworkers everywhere.
We’d all like a bigger
workshop, more storage
space and room to spread
ourselves about a bit.
However, nothing is
beyond the twin powers of
ingenuity and lateral
thinking – just read
Vere Shannon’s piece on
managing your workspace
on page 49 for some
inspiration. Quart? Pint
pot? No problem!
Elsewhere in the issue we
have an assortment of
tasty projects for you to
make, including an
interesting challenge
undertaken by Keith Smith
– to keep the clock
running while using
mainly hand tools to fi
nish a small oak hall
table. Even he was amazed
at how the time fl ew!
Last but by no means
least, we have a
Woodworker exclusive for
you this month. Alan
Holtham has managed to
lay his hands on the only
sample in the country of
Bosch’s new twin-base
router, and has been
putting it through its
paces in his workshop. He
reports that it’s every
bit as good as the hype,
and for sheer versatility
sets the benchmark for
performance in the
mid-power range that
rivals will do well to
challenge. Read all about
it on page 72!

In this month's issue of
The Woodworker - August
2010There’s a bumper
collection of no fewer
than five fantastic
projects for you to
tackle this month,
whether you’re just a
weekend woodworker or
have more serious shed
time at your disposal.•
King of the castle –
Paul Sellers returns to
The Woodworker after a
couple of years working
in the USA to present a
sturdy garden bench
that’s fit for the
National Trust… and
look where he’s
photographed it!• Face
the music – Peter
Dunsmore makes an unusual
table-top music stand in
walnut with maple burr
veneer inlays in the
shape of a classical
lyre• Side by side –
Vere Shannon raids his
South African woodpile to
create a pair of bedside
tables in traditional
Cape Dutch style• Reach
for the sky – Peter
Bishop’s garden obelisk
is the perfect way to
create a stunning
planting display in a
small garden where the
only way is up• Round
peg, round hole –
Gordon Warr makes a
little oak footstool with
the help of Miller
dowels, which offer a
jointing method quite
different from normal
dowelling techniquesIn
the Workshop section
you’ll find the start
of a new workshop
machinery series written
by Andy Standing, who is
looking at what’s
involved in setting up a
table saw. Alan Holtham
presents a selection of
clever power tool jigs
and tricks he’s picked
up over the years, while

In this month's issue of
The Woodworker - June
2010This is Ralph
Laughton’s swan-song as
editor, and he’s
certainly going out on a
high note with the usual
mix of projects,
techniques, turning and
tests to keep you
entertained and
enthused.He’s handing
over the editorship to
Mike Lawrence, who has
been down in the engine
room keeping the good
ship Woodworker running
smoothly for the last
three years or so.
Mike’s background is in
mainstream DIY rather
than pure woodwork, but
he’s dedicated to
maintaining the
magazine’s direction as
‘the original and
best’ woodworking title
around. Ralph will still
of course be a regular
contributor to the
magazine…This month’s
issue opens with a clutch
of projects,
including:• Chop &
change – Alan Holtham
makes a work station for
his mitre saw;• Made to
measure – Ralph
Laughton presents a
storage case for his
Incra instruments;•
Colouring box – Peter
Dunsmore makes his
daughter a portable
writing slope• Three in
a row – Gordon Warr
designs a simple plant
trough.In the workshop
you’ll find features on
using tool rests and jigs
to get the best
performance from your
bench grinder, and a
look at what’s involved
in setting up your bench
planes for optimum
performance.The turners
can try their hand at
some copy turning with
Alan Holtham’s
three-legged stool,
making Chris Child’s
egg timer, or tackling
some basic indexing
techniques on the way to
creating Ian Wilkie’s
spotty pot.Our test
section includes reports
on the following tools

Popular Patchwork
Magazine August 2010 Our
cover project this month
is a beautiful
contemporary seasonal
leaf design from Sheena
Norquay. Both this and
our more traditional Four
Seaons project by Chris
Hammacott can be adapted
to suit your home and
colours schemes and the
Seasonal Leaves wall
hanging/placemats would
make great gifts. Our
Square Dance is all about
photo manipulation this
month, and there is a
gorgeous Landscape wall
hanging from Nikki
Tinkler. Wendy
Sheppard’s Cosy Patch
adds a little more to the
mix, combining machined
and cross-cut strips and
half square triangles to
create this very cuddly,
floral quilt. Lynne
Edwards has just
published a new edition
of her brilliant Sampler
Quilt book, and we are
lucky enough to include
an extract from the book
in our August project
pages. Catch up with the
wonderful Jenny Bowker
and her marvellous
applique quilts in this
issue. If you are heading
to the Festival of Quilts
this year on the hunt for
a new sewing machine then
the Don’t Panic Guide
to Today’s Sewing
Machine Shop will give
you some useful tips.
There are £350 worth of
prizes and giveaways in
this issue, and three
fantastic reader offers
on new quilting books.
