Little Wizard II Giveaway

A lineal microadjuster, a router table, a raker depth gauge...
Entries are rolling in for our Little Wizard II Planer and Jointer
Saver giveaway.

It's not too late to enter! Just take a few photos of a jig, rig or
shop machine you've built, and post them, along with a description
of the process, at WOODWEB's Shop Built Equipment Forum.
Participants who post acceptable photos and descriptions will
receive a FREE Little Wizard II.

The Little Wizard II Jointer and Planer Saver is a portable,
hand-held metal detector designed specifically for woodworkers.

new or used lumber. For more information, visit:

Featured Project

Inspiration for this black walnut octagonal dining table came from two
