In Issue 177 of Furniture and Cabinetmaking Magazine, David Barron shows us how to make a beautiful Japanese box in pear wood, expert gilder Judith Wetherall gives us her step-by-step guide to water gilding and Rob Stoakley takes us through a shelving unit to compliment last month?s media unit. We look at the importance of using maquettes, David Savage talks about his career and Matthew Burt gives his opinions on furniture design. Plus we put Andrew Crawford?s Smarthinge to the test along with the Startrite FS32, the Bosch GTS-10 table saw and GTA60 stand, the Hatachi 1 2in router and the GMC biscuit Jointer.And of course there are all the regular features in Your F&C to look forward to.
