In this issue

Despite a slow start to summer, our July issue aims to bring some sunshine to your woodworking life with a fantastic range of projects, features, technical articles and tool tests. So, dust off your workbench, open the doors to your workshop and join us as we look at what's inside this month's magazine

PROJECTS & TURNING
• SUMMER RETREAT: Choosing to work to his own specifications rather than buy off the peg, Dave Long’s corner summerhouse build is a real triumph
• HAT TURNING – PART 2: Picking up from placing the turned hat into a bending frame, Andrew Hall takes you through the steps for sanding and finishing your headwear, followed by techniques used for adding texture and applying colour
• FULL BLOOM: This month's cover star, with its fuchsia pattern and black veneering, Ian Hawthorne’s box is a real challenge

TECHNICAL
• WOODWORKER’S ENCYCLOPEDIA: In this section of the directory, Peter Bishop gets stuck into the Ps – we’ll part, peel, have pie crust and end up planing some wood
• WORKSHOP SET UP: John Bullar takes us through the steps for setting up a workshop and choosing the best tools for the jobs in hand

FEATURES
• ARCHIVE: Robin Gates sits and thinks about chairs with a copy of The Woodworker from January 1935
• MATERIALS MASTER: Awarded Bespoke Guild Mark No.465 for his stunning ‘Sika’ console table, self-confessed ‘materials geek’ Laurent Peacock fuses custom-made surfaces and unexpected materials combinations

ON TEST
• Makita DTD171 18V LXT brushless impact driver – this versatile, compact, cordless offering gets the thumbs up from Jonathan Salisbury
