With house sales grinding to a halt, why not spruce up your current property instead? But if you don't fancy wielding a paintbrush for hours, help is at hand from Bosch power tools with the latest additions to its Fine Spray Gun range. The new Bosch PFS guns create brilliant coats of paint on smooth or heavily textured surfaces alike - three times faster than a paintbrush!
The Projects section continues to foster attractive yet achievable designs, presented in a neat straightforward yet comprehensive manner. Mark Cass leads the way this month with a three-piece screen (you know, one of those bi-fold room divider jobbies) designed to display the custom weavings of one of his clients. As ever, Mark’s first stop is down at his local timber recycler. Double tenons, wedges – it’s all going on here. Meanwhile…
This sawbench has been designed with the small cabinet or furniture maker in mind. With Record Power’s characteristic solid build quality and specifications often found on machines in a much higher price bracket, the TS200-C gives fantastic value for money, great versatility and accuracy in a compact format. One of the greatest benefits of this machine is the 10” blade,…

Robert Sorby has introduced the first all new, British made lathe chuck for many years. In the recent past Robert Sorby has acted as chuck distributor and as a result has been able to put all the knowledge gained into the design and development of their own new chuck.
With most chucks – even those which carry British brand names – now emanating from Asia, Robert Sorby is using this opportunity to remind turners that top…
A new Project Table will be launched this Autumn by Dremel - one of the smallest tables on the market. Designed specifically for people working on detailed projects, it is compact and lightweight thanks to its optimized steel frame.
With a loading capacity of 45 kgs, it can be used indoors and out by keen hobbyists and small-scale DIYers alike.
The words ‘cordless’ and ‘screwdriver’ may conjure up a vision of a small powerless tool with very limited capabilities, best suited to the occasional DIY task. The reality, however is different. Since the introduction of the first battery powered tools the technology has advanced beyond recognition and it’s now possible to produce compact and convenient tools with powerful performance and innovative features. The…
This month Good Woodworking has certainly been out and about, checking out what’s going in workshops around the country.
Ben Plewes headed west to find a cooperative of woodworkers recently installed in Bristol who are turning out stunning work (as seen at the Betty Norbury). He carried on driving further west, over the Severn Bridge into Welsh Wales to find Roni Roberts who shared with Ben her inspirational methods on production.
The Projects section hits something of a high this month with some highly attractive and challenging work for you to try. Ian Taylor’s sleigh bed in American cherry and utile is something of a grand design, the use of tambours (some 72 of them – plus 88 splines!) making for a study in production work. Meanwhile Mark Cass makes his Projects debut with a simple yet elegant dining table – you’ll like his projects and you’ll really enjoy…
