Free on Friday #4

his month, the Fine Woodworking.com Free on Friday DVD give-away features a project that is small in size, but ginormous in technique. Called the Small Tool Cabinet, this project is a great lesson in how to construct a case piece with what I consider to be advanced techniques: sliding dovetails for the case joinery, hand beaded ship lap boards for the back, a unique way to join the face frame to the sides, a raised panel door in which the panel is formed using a hand plane, and a high-end cove molding which includes handsome banding.

This video which is presented by professional woodworker and teacher Garrett Hack, has tons of handy tips. Some of the tools he uses include a variety of hand planes and chisels, a router and a shaper among others, all of which are interesting to watch Hack use. I also found his technique for simply running stock through the table saw interesting; different from how I do it (if you have never been to Garrett Hack's website, you should - his work is beautiful and very creative).

The Small Tool Cabinet video is perfect for the beginner woodworker who wants to advance his/her skills as well as for the advanced woodworker who simply would like to see how an expert woodworker approaches what at first glance appears to be a simple project. As it says on Fine Woodworking.com’s page about this video, "build this cabinet and build your skills."

This DVD is 66 minutes in length and sells for $29.95. Enter your name and email address 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.
