Woodworking Crafts – Issue 103 (Current Issue)

In issue 103 of Woodworking Crafts, we have plenty of Projects to inspire you.

To get you into the festive spirit, Cedric Boyns turns a penguin Christmas decoration and Peter Benson carves a turkey. Other projects would make ideal presents, such as Kev Alviti’s magazine holder; Mark Palma’s toy shop; Robert Webb’s light box; Andy Coates’ sewing tidy; and Anna Muzzolon’s pyrography-decorated clock. We also have an extract from Takaaki Nishikawa and Shigeru Sakamoto’s book Masterpiece Chairs, where they restore a classic Mogens Koch chair.

In our Techniques articles, Charles Mak shares his tips for preventing rust in the workshop; Derek Jones explains the best ways to install hardware and hinges; and Mitch Peacock makes a three-way halving joint.

In Features, turner Andrew Potocnik tells us about his woodworking career and his new book, Turned Boxes; we meet green woodworker and chairmaker Ben Willis; we look at the nominees for the Wood Awards; and we review a selection of books for your shortlist.

We also have a free book offer and more in issue 103 of Woodworking Crafts !
