Fine woodworking calls it "The beauty of boxes from the hands of experts." The new book-a-zine,
Box Making
by Doug Stowe and Strother Purdy is now available from the Fine
Woodworking website. We are arranging an autographed box book-a-zine
giveaway on the Fine Woodworking website and I'll alert my readers when
it is time to participate.
Whether you’re a first time woodworker or an experienced hand wanting to learn more, Wooden Boxes
– a special collection from the editors of Fine Woodworking magazine –
is perfect for you. Here you’ll find step-by-step instructions for
completing nine favorite box projects. These projects – perfect ways to
learn a new skill or refine an old one – are gathered from the
collections of master craftsmen Doug Stowe and Strother Purdy. Their
expert advice allows you to learn new techniques to make your
box-building safer, easier, and more efficient.
In my
own shop, I'm working on an article for American Woodworker Magazine,
and about 50 or 60 other small boxes for gallery sales. The jig at left is for holding a mitered box side on the router table for routing a groove for a hidden spline to fit.
