A New Tips Contest and five great tips from fellow woodworkers: 1) Adjustable Roller Stand. 2) Router Table Push Block. 3) Improved Tenon Cutting Jig. 4) A Chip Slinger. 5) Sandpaper Files.

We answer lots of questions on bending thin strips of wood. Everything from "how thick" to "how much".

A traditional favorite, this solid walnut Hall Tree features four distinctive bent wood S-hooks. Besides the S-hooks, the legs and the wooden ring provide different bending challenges.

Making a laminated ring is not as difficult as it sounds. And the same technique could even be used to make your own wooden wheels.

1) Rub Arm. 2) Sanding Drum Problems. 3) Router Base Plate for Cutting Circles. 4) Wood Plugs.

The bent wood legs of this graceful Fern Stand are accented by a walnut strip sandwiched between oak strips.

We discuss the difference between flatsawn and quartersawn lumber. Plus, we look at calipers and talk about clamping time.
