The July program will be presented by David Sapp, owner and operator of
the WOODCRAFT store in Franklin. David’s presentation will be
“The Building of a Table”. He will discuss the steps required and point
out some of the “pitfalls” to avoid during the process.
David may also talk about the new store that will be opening soon in
Chattanooga. Come out and hear what David has to share about the
subject. You will learn some valuable tips that you can apply in your

When building jigs, you can save a little money and get exactly
the size knobs you want at the same time by building your own custom
knobs.
On a piece of scrap, lay out a circle as large as you’d like the
knob to be. Draw three equally spaced, intersecting lines across the
circle’s diameter. Then, drill a 1⁄2″ hole where each line meets the
circle, as well as a counterbore and through hole in the circle’s
center (where the lines intersect) for a bolt. Cut along the circle
between the holes.
Complete your knob by drawing another circle half the diameter of
the first for the knob’s base. Drill a counterbore for a nut and a
through hole for the bolt in the base’s center before cutting it
out. Glue the base to the knob’s top, drop the bolt in, and lock it
in place with the nut. Apply a little epoxy over the bolt head and
the nut to keep it from spinning.
