In this issue

We’re well into our summer issues and pleased to announce that the number of projects, technical articles and features is in full flow, so we hope there’s something that will appeal to every woodworker or woodturner. For example, project-wise, Rik Middleton delivers a design for a good, solid woodworking workbench; Andrew Hall shows how to make a Weardale egg bowl; Dave Roberts turns a selection of knobs and finials; Les Thorne sets about making his own version of a classic turned piece with finial; and last but not least, Mitch creates a bespoke headboard in a farmhouse style.
Moving on to our technical section, we deal with a vast range of subjects in this issue, starting with internationally renowned chairmaker Mike Dunbar discussing the making and design of a number of different North American Windsor chairs, before Peter Bishop moves from bodgers to books and bows to bright stuff in the next instalment of his ‘Woodworker’s encyclopaedia’ series. Next up, Denis Whittaker shares the steps he takes when making a basic box complete with inlay, feet and hardware, and in his next ‘Borderlands’ article, Dave Roberts meets stained-glass artist, Helen Robinson.
In features, Robin reconsiders our underused senses after finding blind woodturner Sidney Goodrum featured in the July 1965 issue of The Woodworker. Next, Paul Greer takes a closer look at the carving of totem poles through the ages; in ‘Me & my workshop’ we learn more about blind woodturner Chris Fisher; and in ‘Modern woodworking’, the best way to connect with customers, says Anselm Fraser, is to inject a little piece of your DNA into your furniture.
All this and much more in the July 2019 issue of The Woodworker & Good Woodworking, which is now on sale!
