TOOLMake16 News

Thanks to all of you who entered the TOOLMake16 challenge.

There were some awesome entries, and if you haven't watched them all yet, then go take a look through the playlist on YouTube.

Many thanks also to Carl Jacobson, who is helping me to judge this year. I know how busy Carl is, so I really appreciate his taking the time to do this. Show him some love by stopping by his website and or YouTube channel.

Once the Champion and Prize Winners are known, I shall be posting a Results video. However, I'm still pretty rough after a nasty throat infection, so give me a little time to get my voice back ;-)

The Side Table & Video Build Guide - FREE

Several months ago I built some simple side tables, by hand, with modest joints. The design, based very much on an old table built in woodshop class by a relative over sixty years ago, is classic and scalable. Videos of this build are available, free, on my Get Into Woodworking channel, starting with this one: https://youtu.be/NSue46eWsxQ

I've used round tops, but of course you can use a square top with the legs under each corner.

Scalability means that you can easily build the table to the size you want, without ruining the design. Just scale every dimension by the same factor. There's no reason why you couldn't build a dining table this way, or even a dolls house table!
