* Contributors - TTT POPULAR I • Learn How. Discover Why. Build Better. AUGUST 2007, VOL. 27, NO. 4 popularwoodworking.com EDITORIAL oFFicEs 513-531-2690 Kelly Mehler After many years of building furniture for other people and teaching other people to build furniture, Kelly is finally making the time to replace some of the "store-bought junk" in his own house. Right now, he's working on a bedroom suite using curly ash he set aside a long time ago. In his first story for Popular Woodworking (on page 49), Kelly discusses how European-style table saws differ from their U.S.-style counterparts in efficiency, effectiveness, user-friendliness, safety and cost - all considerations you'll want take into account when making your next table-saw buying decision. John Walkowiak and his wife, Cindy, live in Minneapolis, Minn. At the tender age of 10, John requested a saber saw in his Christmas letter to Santa; Santa delivered. At 19, John restored his first piece of furniture, and subsequently became fascinated with the history, tools and techniques behind antique furniture. In this issue, John writes about how he adapted an old benchtop standby - the plane wick - for 21st-century use (page 68). Christopher Schwarz is the editor of this magazine, a hand-tool enthusiast and a student of the history of woodworking. After building about 10 different workbenches, including some of ancient design, he wrote a book about the experience. "Workbenches: From Design & Theory, to Construction & Use" (Popular Woodworking Books) will be published in October and asks why older and highly effective forms of benches have disappeared from modern shops. Don Weber is currently hard at work on a Sidney Barnsley hayrake table, as well as on some tables in iron and wood (he's a blacksmith as well as a woodworker) for the timber-framed home he's building in Garrard County, Ky. In this issue, he writes about building a "bicycle lathe" on page 64. 8 ■ Popular Woodworking August 2007 Judy Ditmer With this month's column on turning multiples (page 76), Judy celebrates her third anniversary as the turning columnist for Popular Woodworking.
