PROJECTS

30 Classic Shaker Candlestand

This traditional form requires a little turning, a little joinery and a little finesse. Cabinetmaker Malcolm Huey shows you all three in our plans for this beautiful tiger maple table.

By Malcolm Huey

46 Contractor Saw Outfeed Tables

For years, our editor has relied on these two simple tables to catch long rips, support long crosscuts and generally serve as assembly tables. Build them this weekend and they'll serve you for decades to come.

56 Tank Heaven

Mag Ruffman's show on Canadian TV, "Anything I Can Do," is hands-down the funniest woodworking show we've seen. (Well, OK, it's the funniest show that is supposed to be funny.) We've smuggled Mag across the border so you can enjoy her brand of humor and build this useful over-the-potty cabinet. By Mag Ruffman

63 Inlay Door with a Router

SECOND OF TWO PARTS

Last issue we showed you how to build the carcase of this 18th-century Pennsylvania spice box. This issue we make the inlay door using your band saw, router and our specially designed templates. Even if you've never inlaid a single piece of wood, you can make this door with our drawings and instructions. By Glen Huey

72 Asian Bedside Table

This frame-and-panel case piece features sliding doors with a traditional Tansu touch, a shelf for your nightly reading material and a top reminiscent of a pagoda.

78 A Lamp Called Wanda

This fish-shaped lamp is the latest creature to crawl from the dark recesses of John Hutchinson's mind. With our scaled drawings and step photos, you'll find this cheery lamp a breeze to build. By John W. Hutchinson

89 Bench Deadman

Working on the edge of a long board or a big panel is a clamping nightmare. For less than $10, you can rig your bench with this traditional fixture that will make difficult clamping chores easier.
