If you've ever found yourself continually repositioning your clamps to fine-tune the fit of an assembled drawer at the workbench, then you'll appreciate this convenient planing jig by furniture maker and Fine Woodworking author Mark Edmundson.

Made from a combination of templated parts, the jig easily and safely holds a drawer in place so you can fine-tune the fit with a hand plane.

Jackoh writes: I also notice Winner believes copyright claims should be 'claimed' or 'displayed'. Not so. In UK and USA Copyright is inherent in any created work, be it writing, art, music or design. Patents for an 'invention' do have to be applied for, but copyright no. It's in effect the moment the work is completed and lasts for 70 years after the author's death. So it does NOT have to be stated. If Winner doesn't like that, then it's a case of hard cheese. Posted: 4:38 am on September 23rd

If I design a piece of furniture, and submit to a magazine, I do NOT give up my copyright. I give readers just the one time right to make the items for themselves. That is what their sunscription/purchase price allows them.

Anyone who makes a run of the item to sell for profit is breaking the law. That's how it is. so if Winner wishes to take the risk, he/she could end up being a Loser!.

That's my two-cents worth. Posted: 4:31 am on September 23rd

winner writes: When I subscribe to a magazine I've paid my dues for what ever I'm sent. When I'm sent plans for a device or "what- ever" I make a decision to attempt building "what-ever" the plans show or decide not to make it. What I do with the "what-ever" after it's built is at my disposal which includes selling or trading it. I've not the slightest twing of wrong doing after selling or trading it. I believe the person who prepared the plans for the magazine, most likely, was paid for his efforts. If the magazine didn't pay the provider of the plans and the provider wanted to be paid for his efforts from the builder of the plans it should be clearly noted in the magazine. If there are pattens restriction the plans must display such. Posted: 6:49 pm on September 11th
