This issue's cover project, a Maple Chimney Cupboard is perfect for packing a large amount of storage in a small footprint, and an exercise in 7 traditional joinery methods. Marc Adams continues his "Woodworking Essentials" series on working smart and working safe with a guide to using the jointer. Christopher Schwarz share his method for flattening the top of a solid-wood workbench, and Adam Cherubini provides a list of 18th-century tools every woodworker should have in their kit. Our "I Can Do That" project is a Shaker firewood box, and Jig Journal features a scratch-stock you can make quickly and easily. Rob Millard shows us how to create a simple fan inlay and we test 4 Honing Guides. Perfect Patching is a great method for hiding your mistakes, and Tool Test takes a close look at a new Jointer/Planer combination machine from Grizzly.
