What’s your favorite sanding

Stop sanding at 120 or
150 grit on unstained

Let the games begin
Unless you spend
all of your time in
the shop, you’ve
probably noticed the
current poker craze.
Our response to this
phenomenon: Design
a table you can build
that’s appropriate
for poker
and
board
games
and
general
day-in, day-out use.
O
kay, I admit it, I’m not a poker
drinks clear of the playing surface, they also
give this project its own special character.
It’s usually the first thing visitors to our
shop comment on when they see the table.
I have to admit that during the table’s
construction I was a bit concerned about the
hollow, tapered legs. Would the average guy
be able to cut the four leg sides—each with
mitered and tapered edges—accurately
enough to make the joints between them
tight and attractive? Well, as usual, our
Master Craftsman, Chuck Hedlund, put my
mind at ease by coming up with a tablesaw
sled for cutting the leg sides. It’s everything
we aim for when designing workshop jigs:
The sled simplifies a potentially difficult
task; it ensures accuracy; it’s easy to make
so you can spend your time building
projects, not the jigs to make them; and it
increases your margin of safety by keeping
your digits well clear of the saw blade.
Another design benefit: The legs don’t
require tricky clamping setups. Just tape
them together. The rest of the construction
is straightforward, including
the method for attaching the
felt surface.
The completed table looks
so nice I might have to build
one for myself…and learn
how to play poker.
player. I went to Vegas a few
months ago for a big woodworking
trade show and didn’t invest a single dollar
at the poker tables. Even my pocket change
was safe from the omnipresent video poker
machines. So I may be decidedly uncool
when it comes to card games, but I know
a craze when I see one, and we’re in the
midst of full-blown poker mania. As a
result, we decided awhile back to design a
poker table for you, but with a few twists on
more-typical designs.
First, we simplified things. Those eight-
sided poker tables on a pedestal base look
nice, but how many of you want to spend
months making one? We’re guessing a
scant few. So we designed one you can
make in only a couple of weekends.
And, because most of us don’t have floor
space in our homes to devote to a table with
just one use, the table shown
above
features
a reversible top: one side with a felt
covering for card games (my card-playing
buddies tell me the felt stops dealt cards
from sliding off the table and into the
abyss), and another wood side for board
games and everyday use. Yes, you can stay
up half the night playing poker on this
table, and then eat your Wheaties on it
come morning.
But my favorite parts of the table are the
cup holders that form the tops of the legs.
They’re not only functional in keeping

Show the world your workshop
The editors at
WOOD
®
magazine are
searching for America’s greatest home
woodworking shops. Does yours fit the
mold? If so, we may photograph your shop
for the education and enjoyment of
woodworkers everywhere. Here’s what
we’re looking for:
•
The shop must be hardworking,
organized, and full of problem-solving
ideas; these could be storage projects,
special jigs, or some other solution.
•
For starters, we’d especially like to see
shops in these areas: Los Angeles/San
Diego, Chicago/Milwaukee, and New York
City/New Jersey/Eastern Pennsylvania/
Delaware. (Don’t let this stop you from
submitting if you live in another
location and have an outstanding shop
loaded with ideas.)
•
Yes, it’s okay to nominate a friend’s
shop (with their permission).
To participate, send us the following:
❑
3 to 5 overall photos of your shop
❑
5 to 10 close-ups of dedicated
machining or storage areas, and
problem-solving shop projects that
successfully fill a need
❑
a rough floor plan (with overall shop
dimensions)
❑
a one-page write-up of what makes
your shop great and how it serves your
woodworking interests.

More than one way to hold a wine bottle
In the 2005 November issue of
WOOD
magazine, professional woodworker Carl
Stammerjohn provided a nifty way to use
up scrapwood by making wedge-shaped
wine bottle holders. While in Hawaii
recently, I found a different design, a C-
shape holder made from mango wood,
shown below, that serves
the same purpose. To
bandsaw this project, use
the full-size pattern in the
WOOD Patterns
®
insert. Begin with a block of wood
dimensioned as shown in the drawing
below
. (You may need to laminate thinner
stock and plane the lamination to size.)
Then draw a reference line across the block
where shown. Adhere the pattern to the
block, aligning the hole centerline with the
reference line. Now drill the centered 1›"
hole. Cut the holder to shape, working just
outside the pattern’s cutline. Next, sand the
holder to the line. A disc sander works best
for sanding the outside or convex surface;
an oscillating spindle sander for the inside
or concave surface. Finish-sand the holder
through 220 grit, and apply finish.
