Getting Started

Biscuit jointed and routed, this child-size table and chair is a good trial for making projects entirely with power tools. The process is so simple that we only need explain how to make a chair. These projects are made entirely from MDF (medium-density fiberboard) or plywood, with small offcut blocks needed to support the seat and top, though this job could also be done with biscuits. Both the chair and table are made from 3/4 -inch (18 mm) thick material, which is why the cutting list can be so simple.

Cutting List
	Part Table	Material	Quantity	Dimensions thickness, width, length
	A Top	MDF or plywood	1	3/4 x 23 5/8 x 23 5/8 in. (18 x 600 x 600 mm)
	B Front and back leg	MDF or plywood	2	3/4 x 19 5/8 x 20 7/8 in. (18 x 498 x 530 mm)

Rodents had overrun a posh private school near New York City. So the headmaster, a friend of mine, asked a health inspector to deliver a slide presentation to teachers and students, showing how to remedy the situation, i.e., stow trash, no food in class, etc.

The following day, a teacher had her very young children write a letter to the inspector, thanking him for the visit. One of the students wrote, "Dear Mr. Johnson, Thank you for coming to my school. Until I saw you, I didn't know what a rat looked like."
