Introduction Fall 2008 woodworkersjournal.com f\ Quality Projects for a quick fix f you're like many of us, the shop occasionally becomes quiet during the dog days of summer. Push sticks are traded for nine irons, and material lists sometimes take a back seat to vacation maps. We know how it is. But once the kids head back to school and evenings take a chill, I'll bet you're itching for a good project plan again. Fall is here after all ... it's time to sharpen the chisels, blow off the dust and kick the table saw back into gear! Well, we've got just the "fix" you need in this Woodworker's Journal Special Interest Publication.
