I am glad that we have been covering joinery in
recent issues. Now there are specific images of
joints that come to mind when the author says
"use your chosen joinery" and then goes on to
list possibilities: double dovetails, biscuits,
Miller dowels, through dovetails, splined mitres.
While I still go searching for the illustration to
sort out my rabbets and dados, I no longer
wonder if we are going to have coffee or tea with
our biscuits.
One author suggests matching your joinery to your skill level,
while another points out that it will depend somewhat on the tools
you have. I really like this flexible approach to presenting a
project, because it involves woodworkers no matter the skill level
or number of tools.
I have noticed when adapting a plan there arises a need to point
out what can and cannot be played with. In building the room
divider, Michael Kampen points out that while you can adapt the
joinery, you still have to consider the unique structural
requirements of the project and the time it takes to glue it up.
While the pros and cons of each joinery method is given equal
consideration by Kampen, he concludes that, for this project, not
all joinery is equal. Even so, he does not limit you to his preferred
joinery method. He simply points out the challenges presented by
other methods and even recommends alternate glues to choose if
you are, say, a die-hard doweller.
The beauty of this is that now I see how much more challenging
and difficult it would be to make this project using dowels or
biscuits. While Kampen makes a compelling argument for mortise
and tenon as the better choice, he give us options. I like that.
It not only opens the door for woodworkers of all different skill
levels to try their hand at a project, but it provides new challenge
when returning to the same project, say a year or two later…when
you have improved your skill level and increased the choice of
tools in your shop. Never the same project twice!

When I saw Kevin Shantz' Game Box come in
for this issue, I was reminded of the many times
that I had played the game of Liar's Dice at my
in-laws cottage in Muskoka.
Each year, on the week-end after Labour Day,
all of the males in the family would gather at the
cottage for our much anticipated, and thoroughly
enjoyed, 'guy's weekend'*. The formula was
simple: get as many family members together,
and see how much fun you can have in three
days. The ages ranged from 18 to 86, so there was always a variety
of events including fishing, golfing, boating, swimming and
walking during the day, with the nights being filled with cards and
camaraderie.
Liar's Dice was introduced to the mixture one weekend way
back, and instantly became a favourite, not only for those playing,
but for those watching as well. I'm sure that you will enjoy making
and playing with this fun game box.
As for what wood you will use to make your game box, Clive
Smith's 'Woods to Know' article (page 38) has some helpful
pointers on wood and wood grain, and Michael Kampen offers
some practical assistance for wood selection in his 'Choosing
Lumber' article (page 25).
Regardless of what woods you choose to use for this project,
odds are you are going to have to make more than one game box,
because once your family and friends play this game, everyone is
going to want one.
And that's a sure bet!
*Linda and the girls would also make the most
of this annual weekend, but that's another story.
Special Annoucement
I recently received a memo from our
warehouse, letting me know that issue #2
(October/November 1999) is now sold out.
They also informed me that there are only a few
remaining copies of issues #4, #17, #20 and #21.

Paul:
The 'Mid-sized Routers' article featured in
your last issue (Canadian Woodworking, issue
#42) was excellent. However, the price for the
Freud FT1700VCE is only $249, not $433.35
(which was listed in the article). I hope that
you will be able to let your readers know of
this price difference.
Regards Mark Eaton, www.freud.ca
Canadian Woodworking:
I'm a bit confused as to what is the difference
between veneering, laminating and inlaying. Are they
different words for the same thing?
Linda T., Moose Jaw, SK
Linda:
What we have here are three different woodworking
techniques.
Veneering
is the technique of gluing a thin
piece of solid wood (the 'veneer') onto a substrate.
Veneer is peeled or sliced from logs, and is generally
pretty thin, about
1
⁄
32
" thick, although you can cut your
own thicker veneer on a band saw. Veneer that is glued
