WOW Now this is something that FWW should do an article on. There are so many complicated techniques in this work that most of us would really progress our woodworking theories on a project like this. I try to extend myself a little further with something new on every project. This really makes me want to take bigger steps.
Could you explain the process that yo used to make the table legs? Great job Nicholas and thank you for inspiring me.

I love the explode view. I agree that cut list can go completely wrong if followed as you stated. Furniture makers can learn much more by seeing the process that was used and how it was implicated during the construction process. I would like someone to proof the exploded view because I have built several things from the magazine and sometimes the parts of the sum dont equal the whole. That can be a painful thing to learn if a woodworker has decided to build the project and is not smart enough to go over the entire exploded view and see if there are any mistakes. That woodworker might have bought some wood and maybe cut a few pats to the exploded view specifications only to find out he or she has ruined a piece of wood meanwhile someone at FWW is busy making a digital/or full size plan that you can buy. The woodworker has already messed up and then FWW will publish a clarification a month or two later if at all. I always check t see if the plan checks out but it would be nice for others if the exploded views numbers made sense(sometimes they do sometimes they don't). I feel for the woodworkers who need the exploded view but get deflated before the process even starts because he numbers don't add up. That being said if you follow sound technics Like Mr. Kenney states you will not make as many mistakes.

I would love to win this book and take my woodworking to places where it hasn't been before

That is an awesome idea for a book

That would be a welcome addition to my collection

This might be the best book you guys have given away yet. I would love to win it. Good luck to all

I wonder if Matt lied to me when he said this was for the cover of GQ.

That would be a great book to add to a woodworkers repertoire. Seems a like a very useful book that many of us could use.

As I make my progression to using more and more hand tools I believe that after I read this book I might take the plunge and try an entire piece using nothing but hand tools. Thanks for the chance to win the book

The thing that I would really love for Christmas is a nice new workbench. I want a really stout bench but I am not sure that anyone that I know can afford to buy me a bench that I would want. I guess I will have to just make a bench but if thats the case then I could use some new Laguna bandsaw guides or the new Laguna Driftmaster as these would come in handy as I rip and resaw lumber that I will be using in my bench. Of course the Leigh 18 Dovetail jig would make the joints that I need to create during the bench construction. Now the Dust Deputy would come in handy because I could clean up the mess I make during construction(without having to clean my filter every 5 minutes) of the bench and also use it to keep the bench clean after its made. The Lie Nielsen block plane would put a nice little chamfer on the bench and help clean up the dowels that are on the bench trestle style legs. Last but not least The LN brass cross peen hammer is just the coolest little hammer I have ever seen and I know that I could use to beat the heck out of something on the bench(or maybe just us it to tap my plane irons in place gently). I hope everyone has wonderful holidays!

I love your chairs and your wall cabinet. thank you for sharing your work with us.

Just beautiful. Well done.
