Mount drawer pulls in a jiffy by taking a few minutes to build this jig. With it, you can shave lots of time off the task of drilling drawer-pull mounting holes. To use it, first cut a 1⁄4 " scrap piece to 51⁄4 x 12". Then, mark a vertical centerline on the jig. Mark and drill centered holes for the pulls on both sides of the vertical line. For most drawers, you will want to locate the holes in the jig so the pulls are centered on the height of the drawer fronts. Then, mark the center of each drawer front on its top edge, align the jig's vertical centerline with it, and drill the holes, as shown in the photo.

Here's a chance to hone both your spindle and faceplate turning skill—and if you're lucky, get a tasty treat for your efforts. To prevent screw holes, we used a four-jaw chuck when turning the base. If you don't have such a chuck, a faceplate will do, but use the short screws that won't poke through the top of the base. Featured inWOOD Issue 207, October 2011

Let the games begin! And when the fun is done, organize the boards and playing pieces nearly inside. Hidden inside this table are five tabletop inserts with different game boards mounted to each of their sides. A sixth insert, layered in matching laminate, provides a smooth surface for playing dominos or cards, of just using the table in typical fashion. Below, a drawer that pulls out either sides of the table features compartments for storing playing pieces and accessories. In addition, we've added the plan for our dual-purpose router edge guide for ease in trimming flush the banded plywood edges. Also, we've added the technique on working with laminate for creating the playing surface. Dimensions: 36" W x 36" D x 30" H. Featured inWOOD Issue 213, September 2012

As simple and quick to build as it is to play. This portable game console needs no batteries or wires, so pull it out almost anywhere for some quick entertainment with the kids (or grown-ups). And there's not arguing over who gets X and who gets O; instead choose maple or cherry playing tiles. This two-sided lid doubles the box's appeal. When you're ready to get your game on, simply slide the lid out to retrieve the tiles, then flip the lid over to reveal the game board. Featured inWOOD Issue 213, September 2012
