If you’ve always wanted to try your hand at bent lamination, but were a little intimidated by all the forms and jigs that seemed to be necessary, here’s a project for you. We show you a great way to build a Curved-Leg End Table with simple forms and techniques. We’ll even show you how to create a decorative epoxy inlay to finish it off.
And this small Desktop Message Center is just the ticket for storing the day’s mail and jotting down reminders with its pop-up note dispenser.

There’s also a review of the new ProMiter-100 Digital Miter Gauge. And for a unique finish, try wood bleaching.
It’s all there in the current issue of Woodsmith magazine.
