Some folks in this . part of the country would prefer to sleep the winter away, but for me things are just heating up in the shop. In fact, the harder it snows and the colder it gets, the more I enjoy hunkering down in the shop and cutting wood. Without grass to cut, a ballgame to catch or the lure of a bass on the other end of my line, I'm more focused and creative — you could say I'm in the workshop "zone." Sleep it away? Not likely! Maybe it's snowing where you are, too, but don't let the shop grow cold. Special Projects Editor Chris Marshall and I have assembled a great collection of workshop projects in this Woodworker's Journal Special Issue. For starters, if you're in the mood for some serious building, we've got three reader-favorite fixture projects that should satisfy. Treat yourself to a Classic Cabinetmaker's Workbench, complete with end vise, three drawers and a storage cabinet (page 16). If you're lucky enough to actually have too many clamps, have a look at The Ultimate Clamping Station on page 48. It'll keep all your assembly supplies neatly stowed in one place. There's also a Multi-functional Routing System on page 28 that includes built-in dust collection, a removable top and wheels for portability. Maybe large-scale projects aren't on the menu right now. We've got some lighter fare here as well. Sometimes, all it takes are a few choice scraps to build the functional and attractive Trapped Wedge Layout Gauge (page 56). Or, add a custom mallet to your collection of hand tools when you build the Dovetail Puzzle Mallet on page 64. We've also got a few clever jigs in this issue to help speed general machine tasks along. Editor Rob Johnstone took a time-tested cabinet shop favorite and added a few bells and whistles to design his Router Dadoing Jig (see page 76). Then add our Versatile Shelf-pin Jig (page 72), and you'll have a great tag team to build casework projects more efficiently than ever. Finally, even sanding can have its bright side. Our Sandpaper Caddy on page 36 will keep your sanding disks tidy and easier to load on your sander. The Deluxe Drum Sander (page 60) should make shorter work of curved sanding and help you get more mileage from your drill press. So, throw on a sweater, crank up the heater and get going. With woodworking this good, I'm in no hurry for spring. See you in the zone, USfejL- jJ^T 6 |
