As the holidays approach, you may be trying to figure out how to weasel out of gift shopping. Here's a perfect scheme: While the malls are jammed with poor saps, you can be in your shop, blissfully building these beautiful boxes for everyone on your list.

With built-in lighting and glass doors, sides and shelves, this cabinet is all about displaying what’s inside. No matter what you collect—antique Santas, handmade crèches or fine porcelain—your treasures are sure to shine inside this handsome cabinet.

This great shop project is one of hundreds you'll find on The Complete 25-Year American Woodworker Magazine Collection on DVD. This expansive digital library places a quarter-century of woodworking expertise right at your fingertips. It's a must-have workshop addition.

DeWalt's new Compact Router presents a considerably less expensive alternative to larger router combo kits. It’s about the  size of a laminate trimmer and is available with both fixed and plunge bases. With variable speed control and a 1-1/4 peak hp motor, this little dynamo can complete most routing operations, and its small size makes it easy to control. It's a worthwhile addition to any shop and great choice as a first router.

Lignomat’s easy-to-use Mini-Ligno E/D Moisture Meter is perfect for woodworkers. Its 6%-45% moisture range is low enough for furniture making and high enough for construction lumber and woodturning. If your lumber has been sitting for a while or if you enjoy harvesting your own wood, the difference between an heirloom table and kindling could be this handy moisture meter.

Oneway's new 1224 Lathe is a compact powerhouse, with a 12-1/2" swing, 24" between centers and two speed ranges (0-2000 rpm and 0-4000 rpm). Power is supplied by a constant-torque 1-hp motor that's coupled to an electronic 110-volt AC variable-speed inverter with dynamic braking. Weighing close to 300 lbs, the 1224 provides the stability and smooth slow-speed power that's necessary to turn large, heavy bowls.
