Knock-down furniture doesn’t have to be cheap, throw-away furniture made from particleboard. In the August/September 2006 Issue of Woodsmith magazine, there are two projects featuring sturdy, long-lasting knockdown joinery.
Weekend Project
The first, a Quilt Rack takes a traditional approach — keyed through-tenons.
Designer Series Project
For the Loft Bed, Woodsmith decided to use a more heavy-duty system — carriage bolts.
Finally, for the Heirloom Project, you’ll find an elegant full-length Dressing Mirror.
But the project articles are just a small part of Woodsmith magazine. Inside you’ll also find technique articles on “No-Fuss Chamfers” and “Sharpening Drill Bits.” Want to learn how to use a “Router Inlay Kit?” There’s some great pointers for using one in this issue. You’ll also find all the Departments you’re used to, including “Tips from our Shop,” “Tools of the Trade,” “Tips and Techniques from Our Readers’,” and much more.
