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.
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!
