This month in the Woodworker magazine we're sticking to our favourite things - making things from wood and talking about and planning making things from wood. Included this month are trugs and turned threads, cabinets and chairs, spinning things and curious wooden tools - fancy a fillester anyone?

We're very pleased indeed to bring you the Woodworker magazine this month, and are glad to have put it all together for the entertainment (and possible education) of the greater woodworking family. Anyone who has made a chair will know just what is involved and, like me, will probably take their hat off to David Oldfield for his superb set in walnut. Decorative turning and actual clog-making are just two more delights in of the store.

Here we are with the latest issue of the UK's longest running craft magazine, one which shows no sign of slowing either. This month we progress with our Blues Bowl, adding a neck and strings and ready to play. There's a lovely roll-top desk inside, tips on forming mitre joints for boxes, a special on palm routers and Colin Simpson turns a crotch of Laburnum. Enjoy.

We're very pleased to bring you the Woodworker magazine this month; many have toiled long and hard to create the varied tales of woodworking accomplishment therein. The editor kicks things off with news of his workshop tool storage cupboard, and we've assorted work from some your favourite contributors, including benches, tables, hollow forms and Blues bowls, media units and chair repairs. We also visit Leeds building college. A warming read for a cold day.

Join us here at the Woodworker this month as we set about making things, and doing all  the thinking and planning  that goes into it. We have a nice little key cupboard locked away, a very cleverly turned off-centre lidded box, news from the present (as well as news from the past), so why not drop by and join us?

This month the Woodworker has much to recommend it, from practical guidance in the workshop, through interviews with characters from the woodworking world, right along the bench top to a wide selection of makeable projects. Balloon clock? Soap box racer? A hardwood smoothing plane? All these and more – take part now…

The Woodworker magazine offers an interesting mix of practical help and encouragement to all who seek it. Join us as we look to the woodworking past at Isokon, home of many a classic; consider making and turning in the present, and explore one possible future with the Men’s Sheds movement. Take part now.
