Meet Melbourne-based @bernchandleychairmaker in QM05, who has upgraded his version of a shaving horse

Great to see Barbie has received the Sussex chair we made her. The size is perfect! Hopefully she will sit on it to plan her next project, which is said to be a bench

In QM05 (just out) @douglasstowe tests the new Veritas No.1 bevel-up small plane

We joined an online Hewing Class for Spooncarving with @eliabizzarri & @peterfollansbee for QM05. It was fantastic, especially with Elia & Peter so far apart across the US and QM in the UK

Mistakes should be embraced writes @guy_windsor in QM05 having routed a groove for a drawer bottom on the wrong side of a drawer side. Guy filled the mistake with a walnut strip.

“I owe QM a lot,” writes reader David Erlam, who carved his first spoon recently, “for showing me how to sharpen knives, and especially @marymaywoodcarving for her article on sharpening gouges. Thanks for giving me the inspiration to get started.”

@gerwynllewelynbreeze shows readers soon his sharpening tip, with the blade swept down vertically for honing. “The jig is infinitely adjustable by inserting wedges behind the stone or by tilting the jig in the vice.”

Tim @thewirelesswoodworker Brown will be showing how he makes an Osaka Castle Joint in a QM soon

QM reader Fred Fisher thanks Peter Hindle of Ashem Crafts for rounders to make Windsor chairs, small ones for grandchildren. “I am indebted to Jack Hill, sadly no longer with us for his excellent chairmaking course at @westdeancollege .”
