    You Can't Have Too Many Clamps

    Rob Carver

    Sometimes it's a guessing game with Rob's articles.  I read the title and wonder what will be the meaning of the article.  This one should not have been a surprise.  But then there it was.  How could I have missed it at the outset?  Then continuing the read it evolved into the warmth and feeling that emerges from Rob's writing.  So take a guess before clicking.  What do you think the message is in this article called You Can't Have Too Many Clamps?

    Divining Rod For Fun and Pleasure

    by Andrew Davis

    This month Andrew finds the time to bring to our attention an old tool in a new light - the diving rod.  It appears from the article, Andrew has come up with an imaginative use for the tool and a new way to make one.  But if you are not as handy as Andrew, find it online.  Use SKU 0401. 

    But first read about it here Divining Rod For Fun and Pleasure.

    Hall Entry Table

    by Bob McKee

    Bob Mckee is a busy man.  Just a few months  ago his Display Case was featured in this column.  Now Bob presents his Hall Entry Table.  Nicely crafted in a Shaker style design, this piece departs from that style with stylistic wood species of Flame Birch, Pearwood drawer fronts, and Ebony cockbeading.  All the craftsmanship is described in this article called Hall Entry Table.  It's a piece that dresses up the entry hall - at least that was the intention!

    Various Volunteer Furniture Projects

    by Steve McKenna and His Group of Lexington Guild Workers

    Steve has been has been a prolific woodworker.  You may know that Steve is one of the guild's professional woodworkers.  Some of his projects have graced this column.  I say that sincerely.  Check out two commendations he received from the World Category of Australian Wood Review magazine "Maker of the Year".  The commendations were awarded for the Black Walnut Couch and Black Walnut stepstool.

    In addition to his business, Steve finds time for volunteer projects in Lexington that he leads with a group of Lexington Guild woodworkers.  His article is brief showing four projects.  Read Steve's article Various Volunteer Furniture Projects.  Lexington is fortunate to have this accomplished group in her town.
