Woodworking...in action!!! Video Magazine Issue 7 Apr 2007

Our lead article in this issue features one of the best-known woodworkers in the country Frank Klausz, who shows us, using a combination of traditional Hungarian and modern American methods, how easy it can be to make dovetails for drawers.

Most woodworkers today use at least a few stationary machines, and Stephen Cohen, a former New York City shop-teacher, takes us around his well-equipped shop and tells us how to acquire some great machines at bargain prices.

Other woodworkers may rely primarily on traditional hand methods. Noted 18th-century furniture expert Allan Breed explains what goes into a million dollar side table in this first of two parts on the construction of a famous Newport masterpiece.

Inside Story makes another appearance in this issue with a close look at one of the more enduring construction methods, frame-and-paneling, as it was used in a piece originally made in the 15th century.

Our last Feature in this issue focuses on the plane, and specifically planes made by one of the premier toolmaking companies: Lie-Nielsen, as we get the inside scoop from Thomas Lie-Nielsen himself plus a rare tour of his Maine factory.

In addition to these great Features that you will return to time-and-time again, you will also find regular Departments, such as Face-to-Face, where we meet personalities from the woodworking world, such as Peter Korn, who founded and runs one of America s best schools: The Center for Furniture Craftsmanship; and the Demo Bench, where Thomas Lie-Nielsen demonstrates the use of Shapton waterstones and shares with us the David CharlesworthRuler Trick. Tips & Tricks is another invaluable resource, and this time we return to the Kentucky workshop of Warren May to pick up some useful inlay tips.
