Feedback About Dilo's Unusually Small Workshop
Our illustrated article by Dilo Marcio Fernandino in the January issue of
Wood News
generated far more reader response than any other article we've ever published.
Woodworkers from around the world identified with Dilo's small shop dilemma and lauded his craftsmanship. Even some woodworking forums picked up on
Dilo's incredible story.
Genesis of a Cabinet
By Dilo Marcio Fernandino
Belo Horizonte, MG, Brazil
A photo of a Rio-rosewood carved cabinet appeared with my article in the January 2009 issue of
Wood News
.
That cabinet is intended to serve as the upper cabinet of a two-bodied
cabinet (like the American highboy). Guided by my own interpretation of traditional Dom Jose I style principles, I am working towards completion of
this assembly relying exclusively on hand tools and my usual carving methods (which replace the more popular mechanized woodworking operations).
Presently I am facing the sweet challenge of conceiving and building
the corresponding lower cabinet in which I am sure to encounter some new and difficult technical issues.
Next Month in
Wood News:
A Brazilian Woodworker's Exquisite Wooden Globe
Has Brazil become a mecca for fine woodworking? Apparently so, for
Dilo's friend, Marco Aurelio R. Guimarães, has sent us an article
describing his amazing intricate construction of a 1:40,000,000 scale
wooden model of our Planet Earth. Watch for it in next month's
Wood News
.
Q & A
I purchased one of your magnetic dial indicators but there
were no directions included. It looks complicated. How am I supposed to use this thing?

Going Pro as a Woodworker
Part 5 of a Series:
Finding Good Suppliers
By Douglas Bittinger
Smoky Mountain Woodworks
As a hobbyist woodworker, going to the local woodworking supply store and buying a board or two
and some supplies at retail as you need them is convenient, fairly affordable and sensible. But as you move into production work, you'll need to find
suppliers that can get you what you need in larger quantities and at better prices.
Thoughts on Finding Suppliers:
Why Not Write
Your Own Article
for
Wood News?
We actively solicit contributions
of editorial material (articles, photos and videos) from our customers and readership, and for every one we
accept and publish in
Wood News Online
, we will compensate the contributor. We typically pay up to
$100 (in the form of a store gift certificate) for a thousand-word article with photos. The amount of the gift
certificate may be prorated for shorter articles. Articles submitted may be edited by us at our discretion,
and compensation may vary depending on the published length.

The Wood Slicer:
Resawing Sublime
Resawing is all about making thick boards thinner without planing off all the excess thickness (thus unnecessarily wasting your
valuable lumber). More than any other tool we know of, our exclusive Wood Slicer resawing blade makes resawing a pleasure.
Don't believe us? We invite you to
order a
Wood Slicer
to fit your own bandsaw. After using it, if you're not
raving
about
how well it performs, just return it to us within 60 days and we'll refund all your money, including domestic Priority Mail postage costs.
Great Price on our
Very Best German Woodworking
Workbench
Our large Hoffman & Hammer
traditional workbench is currently on sale at $200 off. Roy Underhill just purchased 12 of these workbenches from us to outfit his new woodworking
school in North Carolina.

With all the products available to clean

that are available out there, it's easy to be overwhelmed when it comes to deciding what to use on your prized woodworking projects, as well as on
antiques handed down by your family.
Here's what works for me:
This Month's
Featured Highland Staff Member
Sidney Dew
Sidney came on board Highland Woodworking 24 years ago. His
woodworking specialties have included picture framing and finishing;
the latter has steered him into studying faux finishing techniques,
which he puts to good use helping customers. He is locally famed for an
unusual sense of humor and unfailing willingness to lend a helping hand
whenever and wherever needed.
