Christian Becksvoort may well be the world's best custom maker of Shaker-style furniture. Visit his workshop and learn his favorite dovetail tricks and his tips for building a classic chest of drawers in issue #171.
Garrett Hack’s opinion on handplanes stands head and shoulders above all others – as you’ll see in issue #195. His Versatile Huntboard plan from issue #209 is a new classic, reinterpreting a favorite piece for modern tastes.
Michael Fortune is that rare craftsman who is as comfortable with a sketchbook as he is with a power tool. In issue #199, you'll learn his secrets for cutting flawless curves with your bandsaw and so much more.
Steve Latta makes world-class reproductions in the Federal style. His article "How to Soup Up Your Cross-cut Sled" in issue #219 is a classic, proving that the most valuable ideas are often the simplest.
These are just some of the contributors to Fine Woodworking who join Tage Fride and Sam Maloof, two iconic figures of the past, as well as today's rising stars, such as Tommy MacDonald of the Emmy-nominated show Rough Cut.
