Good Woodworking - December 2016

I denne utgaven

Yes, Christmas is nearly upon us, so celebrate the upcoming festive season with GW313! One lucky reader could also be in with the chance of winning a Bosch GEX 125-150 AVE Professional random orbit sander and M480 abrasives bundle – see inside the issue to find out more.

We have some great projects in store for you, including a pair of contemporary kitchen stools from Michael McCrory; a guide to making your own Generation Weil chair using only a few clamps, glue and a selection of Dremel multi-tools; and Phil Davy makes a pair of ultra-modern bookends.

In techniques, Peter Bishop looks at the plethora of power sanding options available to the woodworker; Dennis makes a table using the CNC router; Peter Sefton and his Long Course students mix up the use of machines and hand tools to make a small rack; and winner of the ‘Cabin & Summerhouse’ category in the 2016 Shed of the Year competition, Oliver Renison, shares the secrets behind the making of his amazing shed.

In Home Truths, Edward Hopkins designs on the hoof – and comes up with a donkey bracket; Habitree launches the Kebony Christmas tree for sustainable holidays; and Arko Højholt meets Tom Eltang - the Danish pipe maker widely regarded as one of the very best in the world. We also have a special report from the recent Wizardry in Wood exhibition, courtesy of Les Thorne, who takes a break from project making to explore the art, beauty, skill and mystery on show at this much-loved event.

In Kit and Tools, Andy King tries out the Peter Child pyrography machine; is impressed with the new Milwaukee M18 CN18GS nail gun; and uncovers a hot idea for hand-sanding.
Plus, if you haven’t already, then do get sending in your entries for our Felder 60th anniversary competition. Time is ticking, so don’t miss out on your chance to be crowned one of Britain’s best amateur furniture makers.

All this and much more in GW313, our December issue, which hits the shelves on 2 December. Enjoy!
