ShoptalkA New Generation There is no "typical*' Woodworker's Journal subscriber, but we do know-that many of you are parents and grandparents. Think back to how you first got interested in making something out of wood. Perhaps you were just a youngster, with little more than a stick and a pocket knife. Maybe you were lucky and had an adult who took the time to teach you the fundamentals. Now. perhaps you'd like to pass some of your enthusiasm for woodworking on to your children or grandchildren. It's a wonderful Icgacy but. as Roger Homes points out in this issue's article "Green Woodworking With Kids", using some machines and many hand tools requires a degree of eye-hand coordination that young children generally lack. Roger has succeeded in getting his three youngsters interested in woodworking by having then) use just a few simple hand tools to build some just-for-fun projects, shown in our step-by-step photos. As a bonus, we've included plans for a simple stool and a shaving horse in the article. Hot New Tool Until recently, when a woodworker needed a second saw in the shop (in addition to the table saw). a radial arm saw was often the first choice. Bui now there's a new. even more versatile option...the sliding compound miter saw. These saws aren't cheap, but they have much of the same capability of radial-ami saws. Moreover, they also function as a chop saw and. as a big plus, they are portable. Recently, our resident craftsman Mark /iobro purchased one of these saws, and he's really pleased w ith it. If you're in the market for a new saw, Jim Barretts comprehensive review in this issue of sliding compound miter saws is a must-read. CD Carousel Several years back we featured a Compact Disk Holder, and that back issue has always been one of our biggest sellers. Unfortunately, the hardware supplier for that project is no longer in business, so. for this issue, we've come up with a new design and a new hardware source. Now you can build our new CD Carousel in either the height shown, or as a half-height version if your collection is more modest. Editor and Publisher James J. MvCJuillun Managing Editor Thomas < >.
