The next edition of Tools & Shops is in production now, and we're looking for your shopmade handplanes, marking gauges, saws -- you name it -- to feature in the Readers Gallery. The gallery in this special issue usually focuses on either shopmade tools or beautiful shops, and if you have either, we'd like to see it.

Simply follow this link, fill out the form and send us a few photos, and you'll be in the running for a spot in our gallery. The only catch is that we need them by Monday, August 27. So get out your camera and send us some shots, soon!

 











And in the meantime, enjoy the sawdust-laden eye candy:

18th Century Shop This beautiful shop at Colonial Williamsburg is the benchmark for old world romance. For hand tool lovers only!	Mike's Garage Shop Who could forget FW art director Michael Pekovich's complete garage-shop transformation?	Plane Old Workshop Take a video tour of a garage shop makeover for an entire family of woodworkers.	My Slice of Heaven Nearly 800 square feet of clean, modern workspace--and one heck of a nice bandsaw if I do say so myself!
A Modest Shop Here's proof that you don't need a lot of space to enjoy hand tool heaven on a modest budget.	Katrina Shop This post-Hurricane Katrina story is enough to warm the hearts of even the most cranky of woodworkers.	A Different Shop Why build your own shop furniture when you can salvage it all from a department store?	Urban Shop Organization is the key to this shop, relegated to a small urban foot print in a New Orleans woodworker's backyard.

You may have to print two special editions, one for hand tools and one for power tools. I’ve seen quite a few power tools fabricated by fellow woodworkers. Many have published their work online, and would probably be happy to have their instructions published. Thanks.
