Robert W. Lang, a senior editor for Popular Woodworking since July 2004, has just finished writing his latest book, "Drafting & Design for Woodworkers." It will be available in October from Popular Woodworking Books, but you can pre-order it now at Amazon, com. Bob's earlier books, which include "Shop Drawings for Greene &r Greene Furniture" and "Shop Drawings for Craftsman Furniture" (Cambium), are available at his web site: craftsmanplans. com. For this issue, Bob built a simple dado jig for the "JigJournal" column (page 82), and a mitered CD rack for the "I Can Do That" column (page 28). Now, he's working on a new workbench that's a blend of traditional elements with a few custom twists. We'll feature it in an upcoming issue of the magazine, but you

can read a bit about it now (and weigh in on his design) on our editor's blog at blogs.popularwoodworking.com/ editorsblog.

Bertjohansen has been an amateur woodworker for about eight years. For this issue, he's designed an ebony and jaioba hall/garden bench (page 49). Bert's career has included working as an engineer for NASA, a security analyst on Wall Street, a vice president of a New York Stock Exchange-member firm and the chief executive officer of a chemical company. After he "retired," he taught creative writing at a community college and founded two Internet companies. When he's not at work in his shop he might be at the computer working on a screenplay about the meeting of John Muir and Teddy Roosevelt in Yosemite.

Philip Leon is a professor emeritus of English at The Citadel in Charleston, S.C., where he taught for 32 years. He has published six books, most of them on 19th-century literary figures, including Mark Twain and Walt Whitman. A frequent contributor to "Out of the Woodwork," Philip enjoys learning the origins of woodworking terms. He spends most of his time in his shop making (what else?) bookcases for himself and his friends.
