The Woodworker Magazine August 2019 Zurück Ausgabe

"Our brand-new August issue contains a pleasing combination of projects (plus a few for the home and garden), as well as interesting technique articles, a whole host of features, and we’re also announcing the launch of the fantastic Alan Peters Furniture Award 2020, so read on to find out more!
In our projects section, Peter Dunsmore shows you how to make a mystifying dovetail puzzle; woodturner Dave Roberts turns a pair of tall candlesticks; Robert Couldwell makes a replacement set of kitchen ‘bar’ chairs in oak; Phil Davy creates a handy garden tray from recycled oak; and Les Thorne shares his take on a yarn bowl design in air-dried ash.
Techniques-wise, Robin Gates has a field day with squares, dividers, rules and tapes, then makes a handy depth gauge; Edward Hopkins builds a bomb-proof Wendy house in ‘Home truths’; and in part 6 of ‘Woodworker’s encyclopaedia’, Peter Bishop looks at butt joints, capping rails and carborundum, to name but a few terms.
Moving on to our features, Robin Gates explores a timber-framed canvas bathing tent from the August 1930 issue of The Woodworker; in ‘Modern woodworking’, Anselm Fraser discusses the value and cost of furniture making; next, we take a look around the workshop of Canadian artist, craftsman and kayak fisherman, Doug Zech, before John Greeves talks to Fergus Stuart about the construction of a medieval trebuchet.
Also, to celebrate the launch of The Alan Peters Furniture Award 2020, we dedicate a whole two pages to telling you all about the award, which champions UK furniture making talent while celebrating the life and work of the late Alan Peters OBE, and in a special feature, Andrew Lawton shares his experience of working with Alan Peters on his last project.
All this and much more in the August 2019 issue of The Woodworker & Good Woodworking, which is now on sale!"
