Article in Furniture and Cabinetmaking Magazine.


The latest issue of F&C is out and it has a nice article on my wall cabinet in ash.


The exploded drawing is up to the usual high standard and very useful for anyone wishing to reproduce the piece. Derek Jones the editor is happy to e mail a PDF of the article to anyone from overseas who is interested.


In another article it was nice to see a picture of Derek using one of my 1:8 dovetail guides, great publicity!

He did a pretty good job on these London pattern skinny dovetails.


There is a an article on the best of the pieces at this years Celebration of Craftsmanship, some pretty impressive stuff.


 This desk top tambour by Charles Thompson won the 'best use of British timber' award with some wonderfully figured walnut. I liked the modern take on a traditional piece, if only he'd added the middle pin to the dovetails on the drawers. (or am I being old fashioned?)

  1. David,

    Best wishes on all the recent recognition you seem to be getting. All certainly well deserved. I don't know how you find the time to do all the things you do.

  4. Wow, this is wonderful! It is really nice to do things by ourselves and having to receive a PDF tutorial is really great. On the other hand, desktop tambour really looks nice. That seems complicated to make. Is that also included on the PDF instruction that will be given? -smithhainesinc.com
