Season 2, Episode 7: Contemporary Magazine Rack

Select Source

Using bent lamination, black walnut is shaped into the form of wishbones to create the sides of this innovative magazine rack. The walnut is cut into thin veneer strips and glued to create laminate using a specially made form. Wooden stretchers between the legs add stability and are attached using mortise and tenon joinery. The rungs from which the magazines will hang are made from solid brass dowels. To ensure that the holes for the dowels line up perfectly, a drilling jig is used as a guide.
