I see this all the time, take Richard Raf-fan, he had sandals on and the book has a disclaimer in it because of it. In my humble opinion, you are held to a higher standard, because you are representing a magazine, so make it look safe: You know goggles, face mask, etc. Anyway, sorry for the rant and I hope I'm not the only one who noticed this. Now did you actually get paid to have all that fun?

Mea culpa. I should have worn steel-toed shoes during that operation. To his credit, instructor David Fleming listed them as necessary equipment. But I didn't pack them in my bag (but I remembered my block plane!).

More Resources, Ideas, Tools and Classes for Chairbuilders

I really enjoyed "Build a Welsh Stick Chair." I recently built a Windsor sack-back chair from a kit and it was the hardest project I've ever undertaken. I think it might be a lot more enjoyable to make my own parts than deal with a kit.

Which brings me to my suggestion: I think the rotary planes made by Ashem Crafts (ash-emcrafts.com) in England would be great for a review. They have tools that make dowels and tapered spindles - similar to a tenon jig for making rustic chairs.

You might also want to look at courses offered by Craft Supplies of Great Britain (craft-supplies.co.uk). The location of the classes looks picturesque. I have their Exocet turning tool which might make for an interesting review for your resident turner. PW

CORRECTIONS

In the "Building a Welsh Stick Chair" article (November 2004), the publishing company for two books was incorrectly listed. "Make a Chair from a Tree" is published by Astragal Press. And "Make a Windsor Chair With Michael Dunbar" was published by Taunton Press.

In the "Portable Writing Desk" article (June 2004), the drawer front and back length is 23/4" , not 2" as stated in the cutting list.
