Jim shows you how to make a simple, sturdy frame that will look fine in a Modernist, Art & Crafts, or Shaker-Inspired interior. Make a Picture Frame, Sep. 16th

Free Knife Jig
By Steven D. Johnson, Racine, Wisconsin
This month, our Down to Earth Woodworker, Steven Johnson, contemplates the journey we call woodworking, whether it be the wrong turns that require us to fix a project we thought was finished, the dead ends that make us sit back and think about a design that still isn't quite right, or the unknown destinations we find ourselves headed towards at the start of many woodworking projects.
Read the DTEW column to learn why Steve thinks pulling weeds is sort of like hand planing a board!

Ask the Staff
Question: I have several layers of sprayed lacquer on a cabinet in my workshop. Keeping in mind that it may get a little wet from time to time because of its location, can I spray a polyurethane on top of that without a problem of adhesion and durability? I thought I read someplace that shellac and lacquer are a good foundation for almost anything else except penetrating oil.
Ask the Staff -
Another Suggestion A couple of months ago we had a question about how best to mount a heavy snap-on machinist's vise to a workbench . One of our readers, Bill Scheuerell, has come up with a great alternative and we wanted to share.

In woodworking, there are several types of glues that are commonly used and each of these have their own particular uses as well as overlapping properties. Here are SIX tips for using wood glues:

WOOD SLICER
Testimonial
I wanted to comment on your Wood Slicer bandsaw blades. Anyone wanting to re-saw lumber, contact Highland Woodworking. I ordered my second wood slicer while resawing Oak for my Grandchildrens' Jewelry Boxes. I've never seen anything like them! And, way to go Highland! It arrived at my home as fast as they cut! Great blade and fast service. I'm sure glad I found a great blade and a fantastic Company to Deal with.
