The Woodworker Magazine July 2021 Vorige editie

Despite a slow start to summer, our July issue aims to bring some sunshine to your woodworking life with a fantastic range of projects, features, technical articles and tool tests. So, dust off your workbench, open the doors to your workshop and join us as we look at what's inside this month's magazine

PROJECTS & TURNING
• SUMMER RETREAT: Choosing to work to his own specifications rather than buy off the peg, Dave Long’s corner summerhouse build is a real triumph
• HAT TURNING – PART 2: Picking up from placing the turned hat into a bending frame, Andrew Hall takes you through the steps for sanding and finishing your headwear, followed by techniques used for adding texture and applying colour
• FULL BLOOM: This month's cover star, with its fuchsia pattern and black veneering, Ian Hawthorne’s box is a real challenge
• BESPOKE IS BETTER: Rather than settling for a ready-made solution that may not tick all the boxes, Geoff Ryan chooses to build his own bespoke six-drawer storage unit, which fits the bill perfectly
• SUNDOWNER TABLE: Phil Davy anticipates the golden evenings of late summer with his folding table made from softwood
• A TALE OF THREE BOWLS: Les Thorne takes three identical bowl blanks, turns three different shapes, applies a different base and finish to each, before sharing the results of his experiment

TECHNICAL
• WOODWORKER’S ENCYCLOPEDIA: In this section of the directory, Peter Bishop gets stuck into the Ps – we’ll part, peel, have pie crust and end up planing some wood
• WORKSHOP SET UP: John Bullar takes us through the steps for setting up a workshop and choosing the best tools for the jobs in hand
• THE HOUNDSTOOTH DOVETAIL: Andy Standing looks at the houndstooth dovetail – a particularly attractive variation on one of the most instantly recognisable of all woodworking joints

FEATURES
• ARCHIVE: Robin Gates sits and thinks about chairs with a copy of The Woodworker from January 1935
