We have five projects in this issue that make great gifts: a small vase, a fun board game, a unique inlaid frame, a turned ornament and a sleek side table. The vase and board game could be made in a day, but don’t leave the other three ’til the 24th.

Issue 86 October November 2013
We have a wide range of seating projects to share with you: the casual chair pictured on our cover, a sleek turned stool, a curved lounge chair, and a deaÂcon’s bench. There’s something here to cure every woodworker’s chair-phobia. In each case the construction methods covered can be used as described, or the techniques can be adopted to create different designs.

Going into the workshop and emerging a day or two later with a completed project is a lot of fun. We all need an easy project now and then; they allow us to relax and work, without worrying about all the details. We have a couple of those projects for you this issue; a sushi geta and a bow saw.

This issue features lots of great shop improvement projects to help you get the most from the space you have. Articles on storing your clamp collection, building a mitre crosscut sled, flattening your workbench top, turning 8 sq. ft. of wall space into almost 60 sq. ft. and building a sturdy moxon vise are all inside. If that wasn’t enough, you can also learn how a single person can work sheet goods with ease.

Kicking off this issue is Jamie Russell from Saskatchewan, who has spent the last 40 years making sculpted, flowing furniture and wooden objects. You’ll hear him tell his story in his own voice.

Issue 81 December January 2013
We have a few hand-made gift ideas for you this holiday season. Bill Perry points you in the right direction when it comes to constructing the seemingly simple picture frame. I write about the children’s sleigh I made last year. It got my family and me out the door on some chilly days for some great fun. It was also a pleasure to build. Our last gift project goes on the gift; Chris Wong shows you how to make a wooden bow.

Issue 80 October November 2012
In addition to the education-themed articles, you’ll find a wide range of other topics: a list of the best materials for exterior use, how to build a pie safe, a Finer Details column on mitred dovetails, how to make a door harp, a primer on metal drawer slides and, as always, a Woodchuckle column.

Issue 79 August September 2012
Our short summers dictate that we enjoy the warm weather as much as possible when it arrives. The flower trellis project is the perfect mix of woodworking and gardening, ensuring we spend part of our weekend outdoors.

In this issue, we take a close look at three different small shops, show you some of the best tools for use in a small space, talk a bit about finishing and offer two projects that will help you with a very common challenge – shop storage.

With shop time at a premium for many of us, there’s something comforting and relaxing about following plans to a successfully built project. Others design every aspect of a piece of furniture either in their mind, on paper, or on the fly during the building process.
