The September issue cover story is about getting back to basics with the bandsaw, care of our product-testing maestro Andy Standing. Even if we think we know our machines thoroughly it’s as well to refresh our memory banks – it’s surprising how sometimes we’ve missed a small detail that may be a timesaver or a point of safety. Andy’s also tested six brand new bandsaws, from budget to top of the range, to see what we can get for our…

Made from a heavy-duty plastic composition material to ensure a flat base, the Pushblock safely holds rails up to 30mm thick and 100mm wide, for the scribing cut when…
Trend has launched an addition to its range of Diamond Sharpening products. The Honing Guide ensures that a correct angle is maintained on chisels and plane irons when used with a diamond whetstone.
This month Good Woodworking remembers the life and times of one of its most respected (and at times notorious) contributors, John Brown.

Workshop Angles makes a welcome return with a visit to the immaculate, and productive, workshop of David Ames…
