7 CHEVAL MIRROR

Y00'11 like the looks of this adjustable full-length mirror in

your bedroom, hall, or elsewhere. The arched top and space-

saving stand allow you to blend it effortlessly with exist·

iog furnishings, regardless of style.

12 SEASHELL JEWELRY Box

You don't have to be a carver to craft the fanciful shell on

this pleasing box. Simply scrollsaw the shell shape from our

full-sized pattern, then rout the edges, and you're off to a

fast start.

14 MISSION QUILT RACK

This project reveals the secrets behind making mortise and tenon

joints that fit together perfectly. The lime--saving solution is sur·

prisingly foolproof: first, cut the tenon, then glue up separate pieces

of wood around it to form the mortise.

18 TOUGH-STUFF WORKBENCH

Our design team packed big-time features into a medium-sized bench

suiled for even the smallest of home workshops. The base, made

from construction-grade lumber, knocks down for quick and easy

moving, but assembles quickly into a rock-solid work station. Take

your choice oftwo tops: an easy plywood version, or the traditional

laminated style reminiscent of old-world benches.

24 SLIDING TILE PUZZLE

Precision counts in projects with moving pieces; so

we designed easy-to-buildjigs to assure accurate

cutting, machining, and assembly. Take note: this

great gift item requires only a minimum of materials.

From the time we began pUblishing Weekend Woodworking Projects magazine

in January, 1988, we've brought you over 275 different plans. We've featured

projects to furnish and decorate nearly every room in your home. Tn facI, we've

left out only one room: your workshop.

We're going to correct that. In future issues,

you'll see a stronger emphasis on shop acces-

sories, jigs, tips, and techniques to

help you become an even

better woodworker.

To show thai our commit-

ment to your shop (and your success

in it) is serious, we are pleased to

offer you a real

This bench was designed and built

by Chuck Hedlund, one of our staff

project builders. (Thai's him on the

cover of this issue.) Chuck knows

workbenches. He has spent over 30

years at workbenches, and has formed

definile opinions about what makes a bench such

an important part of every shop.

Chuck explains that "a workbench is, after all, the basic shop lOO!. With it, you

hold workpieces firmly so you can use your other tools to shape them. A bench's

usefulness is measured by its stability and the variety of ways you can clamp your

work." This design offers you plenty of both. The quick-release side vise and full-

width tail vise (also quick-release) let you hold workpieces vertically and hori-

zontally. The bench-dog system gives you a finn grip on pieces ranging from

individual strips to large panels. And the support pins, as shown above, provide

resting places for assemblies as large as entry doors.

For stability, all-thread rod reinforces the groove-and-tenon construction of the

base. This bench isn't going anywhere unless you want it to. Then, it knocks

down quickly for easy moving.
