The router joinery theme has been very popular; as a result, we continue with the joinery theme in October.

To register for the drawings, send me an e-mail to sandal_woods@bbwi.net with your name and full address. And please remember that if you have registered for the monthly drawings before, you do not have to register again. Good luck to everyone!

The lucky winner this month will get the Sommerfeld Tools 2-inch drawer lock bit:

From the Sommerfeld online catalog page for this bit:

This bit allows you to make drawers faster, easier, and safer, but yet strong and durable. Again, use your SOMMERFELD’S OWN Easy Set to accurately set the height of your bit. Route the drawer front with the inside face down on the router table. Route the two side ends of the drawer with the inside face against the router table fence. The sides should be placed vertical to the bit and fence, and perpendicular to the table.

And the winner is: Christopher Harry. Congratulations, Christopher!

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.
