Issue 285 of Furniture & Cabinetmaking is now in print, and mark the launch of a 12 month series I am writing about building the slab top oak Roubo bench (the magazine cover dryly refers to buuilding “a traditional Roubo bench, the hard way”). Every month we’ll be looking at one aspect of the bench build and covering it in detail. If traditional workbenches aren’t your cup of tea, not to fear as Mark Harrell continues his series on saw sharpening, Richard Wile examines a range of pencils for workshop use, and Derek Jones continues his bog oak box build. There is also a fascinating profile on the Gandolfi camera company.
Issue 284 of Furniture & Cabinetmaking is now in print and features a wealth of interesting content by Mark Harrell (on saw sharpening), Rich Wile (on the Midlands Woodwork Show), and Derek Jones (on box making). Also featured is my article on iterative design process. This article uses the example of how the base design for the Policeman’s Boot Bench evolved into the Back to the Boot Bench, and as well as insight into design process from Danielle Rose-Byrd and Rich Wile (both of whom graciously agreed to be interviewed for the piece, for which I am most grateful).
This article is my 34th piece for F&C, but the first time that I’ve contributed the cover image, which I am very excited about.
