We are excited to present the brand new fourth issue of Mortise & Tenon Magazine! Take a look at what Highland Blogger, Terry Chapman had to say about it:
There was always a standing joke around our house when we would see a truck with a big sign on it that said “Baled Pine Straw, Inc”. Inevitably, someone would say, wonder what they sell? When I first saw “Mortise and Tenon Magazine”, I couldn’t help but think about that old joke and wonder, what is that book about? Like the pine straw from the truck, this one is about mortises and tenons and woodworking from many years ago. As little as you think about it, electricity for woodworking tools is only about a hundred years old. Mortise and Tenon is aimed at those of us who treasure and appreciate those times before electricity in woodworking.

Back in the December 2016 issue of Wood News, Norm Reid reviewed actor/woodworker Nick Offerman’s newest title Good Clean Fun. This excellent book provides a look inside the inner-workings of the well-known Offerman Woodshop and much more!
If you’re looking for a good time reading about wood, woodworking and woodworkers, you need go no further. In this, his third book, actor, humorist, author and, yes, woodworker Nick Offerman tells all about the Offerman Woodshop. It’s a quirky read and as the cover suggests full of “assorted tomfoolery.” And fun. Once I had it in my hands, I could hardly put it down.
We are excited to have Nick Offerman (plus several other special guests) set to visit our store in Atlanta for our 40th Anniversary Celebration on Saturday, April 28th. Come out and enjoy the day with us!

In the April 2018 issue of Wood News, Jeff Fleisher take a closer look at the all new Leigh B975 Box Joint & Beehive Jig, a great new tool that simplifies the process of making box joints and ensures the consistency of your joints.
The Leigh Box Joint & Beehive Jig is the perfect jig for you to have in the shop to make box joint joinery. Since boxes are one of the first projects that woodworkers make, the box joint is one of the first joints that a woodworker might try, so having this jig on hand is highly recommended!
In the latest issue of Festool Heaven, we featured Gary Wegner’s woodworking shop.
