Toggle Clamp Jig Gallery

Nov 162017
 

Not sure what all you can do with that pile of Toggle Clamps sitting in your shop? Wondering why you should own them in the first place?

A few years ago, we invited Highland customers to submit their toggle clamp jig designs to Wood News. We were very impressed with the creativity exhibited in many of these designs.

Take a look through the Toggle Clamp Jig Gallery to get inspired – maybe you will find a few good ways to use toggle clamps in your own shop.

And if you have any great jig designs that aren’t shown in the gallery, we’d love to hear about them. Drop them in the comments below!

Book Review: Mortise & Tenon, Issue #3

Oct 242017
 

We are excited to present the highly anticipated third issue of Mortise & Tenon Magazine! Here’s a snippet of what Norm Reid had to say about it:

As with the previous two issues, I was thrilled when Issue No. 3 of Mortise & Tenon Magazine recently arrived in my mailbox. In part, my delight was due to the intriguing photo of a handheld drawknife on the cover. But even more, it was from anticipating the 10 articles that lay within. Enhanced by a wealth of beautiful photography and drawings and delightfully laid out, the issue promised a feast for the eyes as well as for the mind. It did not disappoint.

The Highland Woodturner: Rotary Texturing Tools

Oct 192017
 

In the October 2017 issue of The Highland Woodturner, Curtis Turner takes a closer look at the Rotary Texturing Tools available at Highland.

I have other types of texturing tools and enjoy using them, so I was eager to try out something new. I have only had these a short time, however, it is clear to me these tools can easily add new embellishments to a range of turned wood items. They are so simple to use and there is virtually no learning curve.
