Free on Friday #3


veryone could use another bookcase right? I once happened on a forum discussion about bookcases and realized for those who love to read, there just isn't enough room for all those books - some people submitted comments saying they stored books in every room of their home! That is why I have said several times, a woodworker could make a living just making bookcases.

If you agree, then this "Free on Friday" give-away is just for you. Fine Woodworking.com has made available a DVD titled "Bookcase with Bracket Feet" and, to me, a great feature of this DVD is in addition to the flat bracket feet shown on the DVD cover, award winning teacher Phil Lowe also demonstrates how to make beautiful ogee bracket feet - something I have never attempted (the ogee bracket feet include hand cut dovetails as well).

But what I find most interesting about this video is simply seeing how someone else tackles this project. Several of Phil’s processes vary from how I have constructed similar bookcases, which always makes me think a little. Also interesting: this elegant bookcase is made from oak and oak plywood and Phil’s approach to this project strikes a nice balance between power tools and hand tools.

The standard price for this 40 minute DVD is $29.95. Fill in the information below and it could be yours free of charge

Here is how this will work. I'll close submissions at noon Central time on Saturday and will update this post with the winner's name at that time. The winner will be chosen with the help of Random.org. An email will then be sent asking for the winner's mailing address. I'll forward that to FWW who will then ship the DVD.

One submission per email, and this promotion is limited to residents of the USA and Canada. Good luck and a BIG THANK YOU to Fine Woodworking magazine!

And the winner is...
A. Marshall
Thanks to everyone who submitted an entry.
