Marking and Measuring
By Curtis Turner
Curtis's most recent project is a Windsor style stool based on plans found in the Chairmaker's Notebook by Peter Galbert. This project requires turning several matching parts.

Turning a Small Classic Child's Bench
By Temple Blackwood
One project that offers multiple benefits to the turner is to turn, build, and weave a small child's corded-rush-seated bench. The benefits are that the entire project can be completed in about three-to-four hours, will provide an opportunity for extensive practice with the skew chisel, presents a modest challenge in turning multiple parts that match and mate, and creates a new avenue for experimenting with practicing design modifications for these and other larger versions of the four-legged soft-seated bench.
