Presented making wooden hinges ：Mr. Ueda
Mr. Ueda presented a method for making wooden hinges for box lids. This involves connecting the lid and body with dowels. The wooden dowels are cut into several pieces, arranged in a row, and glued alternately to the lid and body. The dowels are then connected by thin metal rods. Mr. Ueda saw a tool for drilling holes in the center of these dowels on a website and made it himself using a wood lathe.
Introduced multifunctional workbench for power tools： Mr. Ebisawa
Mr. Ebisawa built a multifunctional workbench for power tools. Wood cutting is done on this bench using a small circular saw mounted on a sliding base. Additionally, this workbench accommodates a router table, jigsaw table, and various drills. Every available space, including the seat cushion, is utilized for storing small items. This project won the Grand Prize in the DIY magazine DooPa!

Making frames at DIY show and plan of making cabinet ：Mr. Dalton （Slideshow）
Mr. Dalton is returning to the UK this month and next month for a break. This time, he presented the photos entrusted to Mr. Sugita. At last month’s DIY show, he demonstrated making numerous frames using dovetail joints. This slideshow shows the process of docking them all together to form the cabinet body. At the DIY show, demonstrating the entire dovetail joint process takes too long, and visitors get bored. So, he planned to make frames that could be completed relatively quickly. Since he wanted a cabinet himself, he decided to join the frames using a biscuit joiner.
