Stealth Woodworking
By Robert J. Collins
While browsing through woodworking magazines
at a local bookstore, I spotted plans for a
project that really excited me. Since I didn’t want
to purchase the whole magazine for only one set
of plans, I secretly made sketches.
Back in my shop, I started building, but I soon
got stuck. My hastily drawn sketches didn’t make
sense. So I made a return trip to the store and
furtively drafted a new set of sketches. Back on the
project, however, I got stumped again. And again!
On my fourth trip to the bookstore, having
wasted a couple weekends and several pieces of
lumber, I couldn’t find the magazine. It had been
replaced on the rack by a new issue. Argh! I had
to back-order the old issue (and wait for it) before
I could finish my project. It ended up costing
more than buying the issue in the first place!
Here are some supplies and tools we find essential in our everyday work around the shop. We may receive a commission from sales referred by our links; however, we have carefully selected these products for their usefulness and quality.
