English Arts and Crafts

Book Review:
English Arts & Crafts Furniture
By Nancy Hiller

If you think about Arts & Crafts as a style, Nancy Hiller's fine new book English Arts & Crafts Furniture will help disabuse you of that conception...

Miter Trimmer

Tool Review:
Miter Trimmer

A Miter Trimmer shaves the end of a board to a glass-smooth surface giving you a perfect miter joint. The obvious use is for making picture frames but it can also be used to trim molding to size. Once you buy one and use it, it becomes one of those shop tools that you wonder "how did I ever work without this?"
