A Super Jig

We've found that the most popular jigs and fixtures are often geared to making your table saw easier and safer to use. And one of the most valuable is a good, versatile tenon jig.

Our featured project this issue is a super time-saving tenon jig. designed by master jig builder Dennis Preston. Dennis has used the prototype of this jig for years to safely secure slock at the most common W-degree orientation . .. and for cuts at any angle down to 45 degrees. Best of all, this jig is fully adjustable to compensate for any built-in inaccuracy.

We've arranged for a low-cost hardware kit that includes everything you need if you don't have easy access to a hardw are supplier.

In The I/Mjking Glass Periodically, we survey you about your woodworking activities, and about your level of satisfaction with The Woodworker v Journal this, and a steady flow of mail from you. keeps us looking at ourselves front your perspective, and helps us fine-tune our magazine to better serve youi needs and interests.

Our recent survey yielded very gratifying comments (Thanks. guys and gals!) and a few surprises, one of which is a growing interest m doll furniture and miniatures. This particularly delighted both our designer.' craftsman Mark Ziobro. and our regular contributor. Dave Moretti

For years, Mark has used hardwood scraps to build doll-si/ed chest <>! drawers similar to his Sample Chest in this issue. Designed to accompany the doll bed featured in the November/December 1992 issue, this also serves as a spacious jewelry chest or elegant storage for sewing accessories. Dave likes to build miniature furniture and when lie showed us his display box designed to show off his handiwork, we knew we h id a winner. If you're not into miniatures, the display box is perfect tor housing a prized collectible.

Over the Transom

No matter how happy you may be w ith us today, we know that we're onl) as good as our next project. Some of our best ideas arrive unsolicited or "over the transom." For example, the handsome Grandchild's C link in this issue w as inspired by a photo submitted by a reader of a clock built for his granddaughter.

If you've designed an original project you'd tike to share, or have a new tip or technique that you think other woodworkers would be interested in. send us a picture, sketch or description. We're always open to great ideas!
