Checkmate!
Here's a cool project....a traveling game table for chess (or checkers) that folds into a trumpet-sized case for jungle jaunts. This clever little table offers some interesting challenges for the woodworker and a chance to try out new techniques such as a multifaceted column, some pivoting feet, lots of hardware and even a little brasswork.The table breaks into three sections for storage, which happen to be logical subassemblies for construction, too. The tabletop and apron fold in half to become the case, the pedestal leg telescopes into itself, and the feet unscrew from the pedestal and fold away.

- Poker Chip Tray
- Everybody's into poker these days. Those of you who haven't fallen victim to the craze yourselves probably at least have family members and friends who look forward to the occasional game. So let's make a poker chip tray that any self-respecting poker player would be proud to show off at the next game.
- Traditional Bookcase in the Craftsman Style
- Of the many qualities that help define the Arts and Crafts style, perhaps the most apparent is straightforward and honest joinery. Wedged joints and through-tenons show the world how a piece was made. Open-grained woods like white oak give a piece a rustic unabashed look that says, "Here's what I am- sturdy, well-made furniture."
