Cutoffs

In this issue, we have several projects that can make a big improvement in the way you work. First off, there's the sharpening station that appears on page 16. It features plenty of storage and an easy-to-clean worksurface. But what really sets this project apart is the sliding top. Just pull it to the side to access an inset tub for storing and cleaning waterstones.

The shop-built spindle sander on page 32 is another great addition to your shop. It fits onto your drill press and uses extra-long, 5V2" sleeves. And the adjustable worksurface allows you to get the most out of each sleeve.

But it doesn't take a big project to make a big difference in the way you work. If you're looking for a couple of quick projects, be sure to check out the article on upgrading a Japanese hand saw on page 28. And the sharpening stone holder on page 24 makes it easier to get a shaip edge on all your tools.
