Woodworker's Journal Summer-2008, страница 6
Introduction Embrace Your Inner shop rat s our presidential election approaches and party lines are being drawn in the sand, I k can't help but notice some parallels with woodworking. We woodworkers are a collegial bunch, but even we seem to fall into a couple of general camps. Some of us focus on furniture while others make their shops the ongoing project. If you're of the second persuasion, your jigs have all the bells and whistles, there's always a new shop fixture in the works and you can never learn enough new techniques. Sound familiar? Then you're going to love this Woodworker's Journal Special Interest Publication. Special Projects Editor, Chris Marshall, has selected some dandy workshop projects and techniques from our archives and compiled them here. In this issue, you can build Ian Kirby's custom workbench, sharpen your resawing skills and scrapers, add six snazzy jigs to your collection and get the low-down on why Sandor Nagyszalanczy thinks a shaper can beat a router table...plus lots more. Be sure to check out Chris' guide to 50 great tools and supplies. Hey, who among us can resist some new shop "stuff" when it's this good! Go ahead, embrace your inner shop rat. That'll get my vote any day. kJ-Skid*— Shop rat Linda Haus' article on Resawing Basics appears on page 28. Summer 2008 woodworkersjournal.com Chris Marshall Special Projects Editor Larry N.
