Magazines

• Burr oak beauty – Roger Berwick completes his magnificently figured oak Davenport by fitting out the interior and installing his ingenious rise-and-fall gallery.
• One step at a time – Mark Cass presents a great project for anyone just starting out on the woodworking road. It’s a stool that can be made using only a basic toolkit and a power drill.
• Weaving inkles – Ian Wilkie explains how to assemble an unusual loom that’s used to create ‘inkles’ – narrow woven craft work such as trims, straps and belts.

In our Workshop section Andy King, the technical editor of Good Woodworking, continues his series that takes an in-depth look at workshop machinery. This month he tackles the mortiser. Andy Standing’s trawl through the woodworking alphabet reaches the letter C. Alan Holtham describes how he adapted an off-the-shelf drill press table to suit his own workshop set-up. Meanwhile, in Shop notes Keith Smith tackles the task of installing a 200kg granite worktop on an island unit in a customer’s kitchen.

Our Turning section includes a stunning bowl from Bob Chapman designed in imitation of the paintings of Dutch artist Piet Mondrian, and a vase of ingeniously turned wooden flowers from Colin Simpson. Last but by no means least, Chris Child offers an in-depth look at the techniques involved in sanding and polishing work on the lathe.

• Bosch GTS 10XC table saw
• Festool OF 1400 EBQ-Plus GB router
• Marples Trial 1 marking tool set
