Contributors - Michael Dunbar has been a chairmaker since 1971, and has written seven books, and authored countless magazine articles. In 1980, he and his wife, Sue Dunbar, founded The Windsor Institute, a New Hampshire-based school that teaches all things Windsor. Since then, Mike and his staff have taught more than 3,000 students lo build Windsor chairs and settees. For information on available classes, visit thewindsorinstitute.com. In this issue, Mike writes about two tools that are integral to making Windsor chairs: the spokeshave and draw-knife. The story begins on page 72. Bob Flexner If you're a regular reader of Popular Woodworking, you know Bob as our finishing guru. What you might not know is that Bob sort of stumbled into his role as a finishing expert after not being able to find answers to his own finishing questions. He spent more than two decades running a woodworking and restoration shop, where he was often frustrated by a lack of good finishing information. So, he decided to write down everything he discovered. Years later, he's the go-to guy for all things finishing (in addition to remaining an expert in restoration and repair). In this issue, Bob shows us how to brush on a finish (page 82)-it seems simple, but finish manufacturers' directions can muddy the waters. Robert W. Lang "Drafting & Design for Woodworkers" (Popular Woodworking Books), the latest book from Senior Editor Robert W. Lang, is now available at popularwoodworking shop.com. (Check out his other books on Craftsman and Greene & Greene furniture at his web site: craftsman plans.com. For this issue of the magazine, Bob tested six 12" miter saws and wrote the cover story (page 42). 10 ■ Popul ar Woodworking December 2008 TT7 POPULAR 1 • WooDworking Learn How. Discover Why.
