It’s all about the punctuation…I mean, the projects
|
I enjoy my job. Editing a magazine can mean different things for different publications, but my job essentially involves deciding who will write an article, planning when those articles will run, and then ensuring each article is complete, makes sense, involves safe practices and has the proper photography and illustrations to run with it.
|
|
Planning a nice mix of beginner-, intermediate- and advanced-level articles is always a bit of a juggling act. Projects are typically our most popular articles, so I want to make sure I include a good mix in our pages. I go about finding projects in a few different ways.

How to Choose a Kitchen Sink That Shines
|
Whatever the reason for replacing your existing sink, it’s a job that’s certainly within the capability of experienced DIYers, especially those who have undertaken some plumbing work previously.
|
There are a variety of factors to consider when selecting your next kitchen sink—number of bowls, width and depth of the bowls, shape of the sink, how it’s mounted in the countertop, and the material from which it’s made. While appearance is an important factor, so is durability, scratch and stain resistance, and cost.
|
|
In this article we help you make the right choice when the time comes to purchase your new kitchen sink.

The Sawhorse - A Silent Partner
|
We don’t have to tell you how handy sawhorses are in the shop. They act like silent partners, assisting us whenever we need extra support.
|
This design comes from James Krenov, and it’s simple yet quite ingenious. While studying at Rosewood Studio Steve made them not only as a shop aid but also as a way to reinforce lessons in joinery.
|
|
A-frame-style sawhorses have a tendency to splay with heavier loads and don’t always store neatly out of the way. This one is made mostly from 1" by 3"-wide stock. Hardwoods such as maple or white ash work best, take all the abuse we are going to throw at it and don’t cost an arm or a leg.

JessEm Mite-R-Excel II Mitre Gauge
|
|
Most mitre gauges that come with a table saw suffer from three major problems. First, the support surface for the workpiece is usually very limited. Second, often the bar doesn’t fit the table slot overly well. Third, the angle scale is usually not very accurate. Most mitre gauges can be set square with some effort and the use of a separate square, but a good mitre gauge should not take effort to make square and should not need the use of an additional tool. The overall accuracy is usually affected by all three of these problems, leaving the user with something less than usable. JessEm has addressed these three problems and more with their new mitre gauge.
