40 YEARS IN THE MAKING • Thinking back over the past 40 years of woodworking, there’s been a lot that has happened. Publications have come and gone. Tool manufacturers have opened shop and some have shut doors. Woodworking icons have emerged, and some have left us. And Popular Woodworking has been there through it all. Over the next few pages, enjoy a look at some of the milestones from the past forty years, both Popular Woodworking and woodworking in general.

Reproducing a Classic • Reproducing this Krenov Wall Cabinet is an excellent way to practice your joinery skills and dial in details to take your projects to the next level.

Spanish Cedar • Aromatic and rich, the wood of Cedrela Odorata is a joy to work with and is a staple in Central American logging operations.

Lumberjerks • The majority of woodworking enthusiasts are both skilled and levelheaded. However, there are a few slightly warped types who continually crosscut conventional wisdom and go against the grain. Some of these knot-heads and chiselers are featured here.
