elcome to
Woodsmith!
Do you want to learn all the tips and
tricks that can make you a better woodworker? Would you like
to build practical projects that not only look good, but give you an
opportunity to try your hand at interesting techniques as well? If
this all sounds good, then I think
Woodsmith
is the right magazine
for you. But you don’t have to take my word for it, just check out
some of the things this issue has to offer.
For starters, there are three great practical, versatile projects in
this issue — a tile-top table, a tall bookcase, and a classic oak tool
cabinet. And you’ll find a range of projects like this in each issue of
Woodsmith —
everything from quick, weekend projects to func-
tional storage projects to fine, heirloom furniture projects.
But
Woodsmith
is more than just great woodworking plans.
You’ll also find helpful, time-saving tips and skill-building ideas
that you can use in your shop. Each issue contains over ten differ-
ent departments that cover virtually every aspect of woodwork-
ing, from tools and shops to joinery techniques and finishing. For
example, take a look at the one-hour workshop article on page 30.
There you’ll find ten workbench accessories, any one of which
you can build in an hour and put right to use in your shop.
I hope you enjoy this complimentary issue of
Woodsmith
and
find it a useful and practical addition to your shop.

Flip-Up Outfeed
Extension Table
In my small, basement shop, there
just isn’t enough room for a per-
manent outfeed table for my
cabinet saw. I needed a table
that I could set up and take
down quickly, but was still
strong and sturdy.
I found the solution while
roaming around in my local
home improvement center —
the folding shelf brackets you
see in the photo at left.
As
the
drawings
below show, I attached
the vertical arms of the
brackets onto mounting plates
so the table top would clear the
saw’s fence rail when it was in
either the up or down positions. I
did the same thing with the hori-
zontal arms to raise the outfeed
table level with my saw table. To
keep the table flat and to add

brackets.
strength, I added braces under-
neath the outfeed top and then
mounted the table perfectly level
with the saw table. Finally, I cut
grooves in the table to line up with
the miter slots in my saw table.
It works very nicely, and now I
have the outfeed table I’ve always
wanted — one that’s there when I
need it and gone when I don’t.

Planer Sled
Planing a flat face on a
wide, warped board can
be a real challenge. The
problem is that the
uneven surface of the
board causes it to rock
back and forth on the
planer bed like a see-saw.
To solve this problem, I
built a planer sled.
A pair of cleats on the
end register the work-
piece. Then to get one
face flat, I added a row
of cut-off woodscrews
along each side, as
shown in the drawing.
By raising the screws,
you can support the
workpiece (detail ‘a’).
When the top face is flat,
remove the sled, flip the
board over and finish
planing the other side.

Handscrew Support
Working with long stock and wide panels
can be a real hassle. Not only are they dif-
ficult to move around, but they’re hard to
support while working on them. This is
especially true when the piece has to be
supported on edge. For that, I usually clamp
the piece in the face vise of my workbench.
However, that means
the other end is
unsupported for
planing, sanding, or
cutting mortises.
While wrestling
with another large
workpiece, I came
up with a pretty
simple solution that
uses a traditional
woodworking tool
— a wood hand-
screw. As you can
see in the photo at
right, all I did was
clamp the hand
screw at the end of
the workpiece and
rest it on the top of the bench. It worked
perfectly. Now if the workpiece still
moves around as you’re working, you
can clamp the handscrew to the bench
with another handscrew or other clamp.
