The Woodworker Magazine May 2019 Vorige editie

"Welcome to our May issue, which we’ve done our best to cram full of spring-time projects and techniques for you to make and learn from, as well as a few interesting and inspirational features to boot. To start, Peter Benson makes four matching garden planters; next, Martin Pim-Keirle produces his own traditional wooden full-depth marking gauge; woodturner Dave Roberts turns an ornate wall bracket; Phil Davy brings a cupboard back to its former beauty; Les Thorne shows you how to use liming wax and blowtorching to create his beaded and burnt bowl; and last but not least. And if that’s not enough to whet your appetite, in our technical section, Liberon explains the processes taken to achieve beautifully rich and stunning results with your French polishing; Peter Bishop brings us the next part of his directory of wood-related words and phrases; and in the next ‘Borderlands’, Dave Roberts takes an idea for a walk in search of a second opinion. In terms of features, we have our usual eclectic mix, starting with Anselm Fraser’s monthly column, which sees him explaining how woodworking is a constant process of lifelong learning; next, Denis Whittaker MBE shares the story of his woodworking life; in ‘Me & my workshop’, we meet 53-year-old Cornish furniture maker.
As always, we like to bring you all the latest kit and tools on the market, and this month is no exception. We also have a double competition for you this month, featuring a Clarke CMS10S2 10in sliding compound mitre saw and 1 of 5 sets of Peter Sefton’s Ultimate Thickness Planer DVD series. Yes, all of this kit is up for grabs, so see inside the issue for details on how to enter both - good luck! As well as this, you can also expect to find all your usual favourite pages, including news and courses, welcome, marketplace, next month, letters and readers’ tips. All this and much more in the May 2019 issue of The Woodworker & Good Woodworking, which is now on sale!"
