Articles & Publications

John currently writes a very popular series of thought provoking articles for Furniture & Cabinetmaking magazine. He also reports on in-depth testing of various tools he encounters for The Woodworker. Many of his articles may be viewed here.

For many years prior to this, John was a monthly contributor to both British Woodworking and Furniture & Cabinetmaking magazine.

British-Woodworking

British Woodworking

British Woodworking is aimed at woodworkers worldwide, but likes to promote British craftsmanship, British timber and British innovation. It focusses on hand skills because it believes they are the beating heart of any workshop, but it also tests the latest machines, power tools and gadgets, and study techniques that incorporate a wide range of tools and equipment.
