The woodworking video podcast and blog of Al Navas

Archives for FineWoodworking.com category

The folks at FineWoodworking.com have created a brand-new blogs page, intended to make it easy for a reader to follow what is happening in at least a dozen different blogs. They have made it easy to stay up-to-date, for “…if one of those blogs is updated with a new post, our site will update as well. Think of it as a TV Guide for woodworking blogs.”

Pretty cool!

You can read this latest news at today’s post in FWW’s The Editor’s Mailbox. Enjoy!

Finewoodworking.com is teaming up with The Wood Whisperer, Lumber Jocks, and others, to focus on woodworking’s hazards. Check their Editor’s Mailbox blog all week for new videos and safety tips. They will share simple advice to keep you out of the emergency room and your fingers intact.

Here’s a short video by magazine editor, Asa Christiana, with some basic safety tips.

I am designing a large job for a client, and as a result my shop time has been limited.

This video has been very popular - I have received several requests to post it here. I merged Part 1 and Part 2 from previous posts into this one . This merged version can also be found at the Fine Woodworking GlueTube video blog.

Summary: This video shows how to make inlaid through dovetails using the Leigh D4 jig.

I will be back with woodworking content soon!

About Me

My name is Al Navas, and I live in NW Missouri with my bride of many years. We are both woodworkers who love to be in the shop together, sharing wonderful times. She is a woodturner, and also carves and does pyrography. I do what many call flat work, which includes jewelry boxes to blanket chests; armoires to entertainment centers; church altars to prayer kneelers; custom cabinets to rustic furniture. In our “spare” time in the shop we make toys, bird houses, etc., for our granddaughters. In late 2007 we finished serving as officers for the St Joseph Woodworkers Guild.
