Fix on Tips & Techniques
 
Even woodworkers need cheat sheets. We received an email the other day regarding one of our tips and found that when printed our decimal equivalent chart was not readable. So this weekend we cleaned it up and is now back in business. It's a great tool for the shop that is the quick way to break down numbers and save just a little bit of time, and a great big headache. Just follow the link and hit the print button on your browser. D.E.C.

Adirondack Chair & Footstool    
 

Adirondack Love Seat
In the early 1900's in the upper New York State Adirondack Mountains this style of chair first appeared. The Adirondack Chair has a low seat; wide arms curved back and a very comfortable footstool. The back has a single 3 position adjustment that makes it very comfortable for all.

This Love Seat compliments the Chair & Footstool and makes a complete set, perfect for any patio. The Love Seat is just perfect for reading, visiting with a friend or just idling away the hours.

This Tudor Chair and Table complement the Bench Seat to make a complete set. This set makes an ideal combination that sells very well at Craft Shows and Swap Meets across the country. The Table is included in the design as an added Bonus.

 


Lutyen's Garden Bench

Designed over 100 years ago by Edwin Lutyens a British architect and designer. This is a classic bench that has the crest rail shown full size.  It is assembled with mortise and tenon
joints and is a very comfortable three-seater bench.
 

FYI

Spring is right around the corner. The honey-do list is growing and time is flying by. These projects are fairly simple to complete in a few long weekends and will add a great look and style to your backyard paradise. Just in time for the first spring BBQ.
 

This coming Friday we will be going to press with our 2010 catalog. So drop us an email or go through the main page to update information and we will send you a new one. This coming year we are excited to say we have almost 10 new designs on the table. We should have a sneak peek at what's coming around summer time. It is new, fresh and will have a piece for every room in the house.
